ASIAN PACIFIC AMERICA:
a tour across the web
Intro->People->Places->Practical->Pertinent->Poetry->Publications->Promise
=> POTENTIAL and PROMISE.
We hope that this tour has demonstrated the future potential of the Internet and
the World-Wide Web for Asian Pacific Americans and community-based organizations.
We hope it was interesting, and that it shows the diversity of electonic resources.
The Web has only been around for only a few years - a very short time. It isn't yet
perfect. Problems with long waiting times from overloaded web servers, electronic
network traffic jams, the difficulty of finding the desired information, are some
present shortcomings. But these are challenges that are surely to be overcome. Despite
the difficulties, the future promise is much too exciting to ignore.
The Web is a powerful new medium. Almost anyone today can publish information on
the Internet for very low cost - making it available to millions of people.
We have the power to promote our own organizations, to quickly obtain and distribute
needed information, and to extend our outreach to interact with others in distant
places. Eventually, this power might translate to solving our social problems as
well - to break down the barriers of human ignorance and misunderstanding to enhance
our global village. Only time will tell.
This concludes the APA "Tour Across the Web".
