Description
Join us as we screen the documentary film "Web" (w/ English subtitles). In remote villages in the Amazon Jungle and Andes Mountains, a group of children are about to gain access to computers and the internet for the first time. WEB documents their experience with the One Laptop Per Child (OPLC) program, and ponders both the benefits and complications that are arising from our increasing digital inter-connectivity.
