One thing that I ran into in South Georgia that I thought was very cool is the Georgia Freenet Project. Obviously, a lot of people don't have computers, so the state has several trailers that they haul around and setup temporary computer labs. The locals that elect to can get free training on how to use a computer when the van shows up in their town. I thought that was a very cool way to help assist those that need to expand their careers and feel trapped in a small town. Its run by volunteers.
