Early morning in Fez, Medina shows the importance of a New Urban Connectivity.
One of the densest places in existence, Fez has for a thousand years connected its people through a compact built form, a dense network of streets, its religious institutions and a multitude of market places and public events.
Suddenly, in the last 50 years, local news and personal contact are superseded by national and international news and by electronic, impersonal communication. Connectivity has shifted from physical space to wired or wireless networks. Previously unknowable people or places or unimaginable things appear daily on a screen. Global culture becomes local culture and with it comes New Urban Connectivity.

PRESS RELEASE
Houston Public Library Changes the Face of Urban Public Library Service Delivery
With Exciting Debut of First of Four Innovative
Technology-Driven Libraries: HPL Express Southwest
New library offers more technology per square foot than any library in Houston
January 29, 2008 (Houston) – Houston Public Library has opened its first of four new innovative libraries. Located in the Southwest Multi-Service Center at 6400 High Star in west Houston, HPL Express Southwest is the first of its kind in the country. Offering more technology resources per square foot than any library in Houston, the HPL Express experience virtually changes the face of how urban public library service is delivered to the community.
The futuristic 3600-square-foot concept library is flush with free digital connectivity along with library program offerings including computer courses, age-appropriate events, virtual tutoring, and access to HPL’s vast collection of 119 databases for researchers, students, and small businesses.
HPL Express customers have full access to the services, data, and collections of the entire library system. While the most popular and relevant materials will be kept on-site, customers may request that materials from any Houston Public Library location be delivered to any HPL Express for pick-up or use. The Library staff is specially-trained and committed to help customers navigate HPL’s vast technology resources and collections now right at their fingertips.
“The opening of HPL Express Southwest is an exciting new chapter in library services delivery,” said Dr. Rhea Brown Lawson, director of Houston Public Library. “The abundance of computer work stations, laptops and computer classes help to bridge the digital divide, added to the bright décor and highly-trained staff make the HPL Express experience fresh and unique for an urban library. We are ecstatic to take the lead among library systems across America in launching this new concept, and look forward to adding three other locations in Houston over the next 18 months,” she said.
HPL Express Southwest technology resources include:
•30 public access computers, including two Macintosh Computers (an HPL first)
•15 laptops for computer classes
•Computer reservation paging system
•Five laptops for checkout (for on-site use)
•Free wireless Internet access
•Printing and copying services
•Self Check-Out units
•Three bilingual Early Literacy Stations (educational computer workstations that provide access to information and quality education to children pre-school age through the third grade)
•Two 42" LCD monitors for gaming, video reference, digital storytime, community events postings, movies, phonics and reading programs, etc.
•Video & instant messaging reference services
HPL Express Southwest is the first of four new Express libraries planned to open over the next 18 months. Additional locations include HPL Express Discovery Green (Park), opening in April 2008; HPL Express Frank, scheduled to open in fall 2008; and the HPL Express Vinson location, currently under construction inside the new South Post Oak Multi-Service Center, debuting in the spring of 2009.
HPL Express Southwest Library hours are Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and closed on Sunday.
Programs and event offerings include:

About HPL Express Libraries
The HPL Express service model started as the e-library project, an assessment of better ways to offer library resources electronically and bridge the digital divide, and has developed into a completely new way of providing library service to all communities. HPL Express is a unique library facility that is intended to be installed within existing buildings, multi-service centers, office buildings, shopping malls, airports, and more. Even better is the bottom-line: Houston Public Library should be able to open the doors to a full-size HPL Express facility and operate it for one-quarter the cost of a new traditional library, while providing complete service to the same number of customers as a traditional library.
About Houston Public Library
The Houston Public Library (HPL) operates 36 neighborhood libraries, one HPL Express Library, a Central Library (opening May 31, 2008), the Houston Metropolitan Research Center, the Parent Resource Library located in the Children’s Museum of Houston, and the Clayton Library, Center for Genealogical Research. Serving more than 4 million customers per year, HPL is committed to excellent customer service and equitable access to information and programs by providing library patrons with free use of a diverse collection of printed materials and electronic resources, Internet, laptop and computer use, and a variety of database and reference resources with live assistance online 24/7.

In my ongoing investigation of connectivity on Web 2.0 I have added a new synapse thanks to PowerShot's shaky video capacity YouTube This image is my background.

A slightly less iconic view taken from the Singapore Flyer (the world's largest observatory wheel). The thing that caught my attention as I was composing this image was the roads and the light trails. Being on a moving platform, long shutter speeds were out of the question. After some experimentation, shuttle speed of a second seemed to be the charm.

In 2018, USAID launched the second-annual Digital Development Awards (the “Digis”) to recognize USAID projects that harness the power of digital tools and data-driven decision making. The WeMUNIZE program was one of five winners chosen out of the 140 applicants. It is implemented by local technology start-up Black Swan Tech Ltd through USAID’s Maternal and Child Survival Program led by Jhpiego.
Faced with limited local record keeping and low levels of literacy and connectivity, the WeMUNIZE program uses a combination of digital record keeping and community engagement to increase early childhood immunizations. For families participating in the WeMUNIZE program, dropout rates have fallen to below 10 percent.
The project recruits primarily women for their team of trained volunteers and supports them with free mobile phones, empowering women to help their communities and overcome social barriers.
Thanks to its coordination with the Government of Nigeria, the project shares the immunization data generated to improve stakeholder coordination and transfers ownership to the state government to build local capacity.
