“Like a force of nature, the digital age cannot be denied or stopped. It has four very powerful qualities that will result in its ultimate triumph: decentralising, globalising, harmonising and empowering.” **Nicholas Negroponte -- Being Digital** http://books.google.com/books/about/Being_digital.html?id=wL66CILxDLkC “The technology is in everyone’s pocket today. But that doesn’t necessarily mean they always know what to do with it beyond its commercial application. My role is to open up the creative process and share it with people, and to unlock their imaginations.” **Atau Tanaka,** Director of the Culture Lab, Newcastle http://www.nebusiness.co.uk/business-news/interviews-with-business-people/2011/06/06/atau-tanaka-director-culture-lab-51140-28818194/3/ http://www.eliterature.org/ http://collection.eliterature.org/2/ Since its formation, the** Electronic Literature Organization** has worked to assist writers and publishers in bringing their literary works to a wider, global readership and to provide them with the infrastructure necessary to reach one another.
