Technologies Together, old and new

State of the art information and communications technology meets the hi-tec of yesteryear (i.e. mechanical automation by waterpower, the Mill). We'll be hosting promotional events at the Mill, beginning later in the year.

I'll find it particularly exciting to see the two technologies come together when their computer-based electronics are all powered by our new micco-hydropower generators. Waterpowered computers, screens etc., then we really will have come 'full circle'!

Business Computer Solutions based in East Kent, met me and some of the Mill team and decided The Eco Project would be interesting to support and get involved with. Their sponsorship includes the supply of a PC, laptop, networking hardware and installation labour. They are also providing a new domain name, email and a web space. The new web site will focus on The Eco Project rather than the original rescue project phase from a number of years ago.

After agreeing to support the Project they have also helped the preservation trust by introducing them to a telecoms provider e2connect who has agreed to provide a call answering system and an ADSL internet provision.

The Wi Fi internet connection will shortly be available to visitors in the Mill Tea Room who want to use their laptop. Also coming soon, most of the education and interpretation resources will be accessible online, thereby making it much easier for schools and other research enquiries.

A big thank you to BCS!
