The 100th Digital Bridge event

The 100th Digital Bridge event

The 100th event of the Digital Bridge in Small Settlements was organised on July 23, 2008 - with the singer, actor and choreographer Novák Péter participating - at Bakonszeg, which was selected because back in 2004 it was the settlement to host the launching event of the program. It was based on the experiences and successes of this initial program that Magyar Telekom’s volunteers realised the need to continue the program and disseminate the possibilities inherent in the internet at as many small settlements as possible. During the 100 programs conducted our volunteers helped locate spares for combines, organise programs for the local pensioners’ club, placed order for strawberry plants, checked the amount of precipitation and the current wheat price, just to mention a few among lots of other things.  

Citizens of Bakonszeg were once again very pleased to host the possibility to surf the internet. For many the event meant the first occasion to get on the web and eagerly listened to the instructions of our volunteers and Novák Péter. The jubilee program was enlivened by competitions and prizes.Participants and Magyar Telekom’s volunteers jointly consumed the 100-slice cake as a conclusion of the 100th „bridge-building” jubilee.
