    Becoming friends with your car and making new friends through your car's social network. Interesting where social media is starting to go.

    What?!? At first I thought, maybe it's designed as a way for car enthusiasts to meet other car enthusiasts. But that is not what it is. Interesting indeed!

    Interesting, it changes the whole meaning of the word "friends."

    Great. First, my cat got more "friends" than me on Petbook and now there is a chance my car will get more "friends" than me too?!?! Why bother social networking anymore? It's not good for the ego.

    The article I want to bring into the digital divide class discussion this week is about a project that is "creating Internet networks for eastern Afghanistan whose main components can be built out of trash" such as boards, wires, plastic tubs, and cans. Most importantly, the networks built "can be deployed by anyone anywhere where local infrastructure will not permit a conventional network" (they can even run "off-grid" via car-battery).
