I’m writing this on my way to day 2 of Our Digital Planet’s visit to Wigan. Yesterday was almost 6 months to the day from when I locked up the Internet Station and walked away from it in Glasgow, and it was great to be back in there again.
But, of course, what really made it worthwhile was being able to help people do things which will improve their lives. That is a wonderful feeling.
And, to prove a point, our very first visitor was Harriet, who is 81 and was full of tales of the African refugee children she adopted in the 1950s who went on to be successful in the music industry and counted The Beatles and Rolling Stones among their friends. Harriet’s grandson has a degree in Computer Science, but she doesn’t like to bother him with her “trivial” issues, so she will be coming back another day with her laptop and scanner in a trolley.
I believe everyone has a touching point in their lives which will make internet use compelling to them. I will be looking for those touch points in Wigan until Wednesday, and then we move on to Leigh.

Great story John, just need to find those keys.
Harriet is not alone. There are many people like her, who choose not to bother their family or friends with such “trivial” issues. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to apply to my own family (only joking mum)! š
