With all this talk about the impact of computers
on society, there's a community computer system
in Cleveland, Ohio called the Cleveland Free-Net.
It is a HUGE online system with over 11,000 active
users. Hence, this is an "electronic city".
 
You see things go on in this "electronic city" that
you would see normally in everyday life. 
The Cleveland Free-Net would be an excellent topic
for someone who's doing research on how computer
systems has affected human lives. It's truly remarkable.
 
You can reach the Cleveland Free-Net by telnet:
129.22.8.82
129.22.8.75
129.22.8.76
129.22.8.77
129.22.8.78
 
Or by modem: (216) 368-3888
 
Membership and usage of its services are FREE. I encourage
everyone to apply for an account and become a "citizen"
of the Cleveland Free-Net.
