Recently, the Alliance for Public Technology announced the winner of the “how broadband changed my life contest, an award program which recognizes individuals who, through their testimonials, showed how high-speed Internet access can transform lives. Panelists included, Michael Manley, Outreach Director at the University Of Arkansas For Medical Sciences, Keneth Peres President of the Alliance for Public Technology, and Kevin Celata with the Communication Workers of America. “A common theme in most of the 420 entries received was the importance of broadband,” noted Joy Howell, campaign director of the “Broadband Changed My Life!” campaign. “Technically they could have just told us about their life changing experiences. It was as if they divided their lives into two halves: before broadband and after it. These stories demonstrate that broadband is influencing every aspect of our daily lives.”

Sorraine Hot, First Place Winner
In February 2007 Sacred Wind Communications Community Connect, a non-profit exclusively organized for the benefit of the Navajo people, started a free Internet training center for the Huerfano Chapter. Sorraine Hot became the trainer, responsible for introducing her community to computers and the Internet. After passing Hot’s course, low income families earned a free, refurbished computer. Through this program, Hot helped school age children complete homework assignments and receive As for the first time. She assisted Elders with access to key health care information that otherwise would not be available to them. Hot watched adults and students successfully apply for jobs and college online. Most importantly, she saw her own children, who lived for three years with no telephone or Internet connection, reconnect with their father’s family in St. Louis.
