Carpe Occasio! Celebrate National Internet2 Day

3/18/2004

All too soon there will be few memories of the Internet2 project. We’ll zip around in public transit and in our cars with ubiquitous connectivity to anything we want, any time we want it. We will live in unimaginable combinations of virtual and physical communities. And we will give almost no thought to how it all came about. It is even unlikely that there will be much in the way of monuments in concrete and bronze, since the whole thing is virtual and distributed anyway. Where would you put the monument? Whose names would you inscribe?

We are all at the same place, all at the favorable moment, occasio, when this is happening, and we can recognize it. That’s the genius of Internet2 Day. I recommend that you visit the related Web site - http://events.Internet2.edu/2004/Internet2Day/ - and register as a participant. Carpe occasio – seize this favorable moment and be part of it.
