The Digital City is a public network-project of a group of computer freaks from Amsterdam. "Free access for everyone" is the proclaimed aim and more than 12 000 users registered as citizens of the Digital City during the first months since its opening in January 1994 . The Digital City offers almost everything existing in real-life. The "citizens" go to the post- office to send electronic mail, they visit the library to search through archives. The multimedia-realisation of the virtual world is progressing. A graphic interface leads you through the system, interest groups and initiatives can present themselves via graphics, images and text. In the near future you will also be able to visually reach the subway by hyperlink. |
