“Networked individuals are good at starting things, but the jury is still out on how effective they are at maintaining services over time.

Issues of access, equity, and skill divides still matter, they’ve just switched from wired desktops to mobile phones. Time and technological advances have shifted these justice issues to a different venue, but have made them no less important or easier to address.”
