Superfast Cornwall's schedule for PenwithSuperfast Cornwall is the organisation which is charged with installing a fibre optic communications network in Cornwall. When sent as pulses of laser light down thin glass fibres signals travel faster than when they are transmitted as electrical pulses down copper wires. There are a number of ways of perceiving the technology of the internet and the World Wide Web. Some may see it as the work of the devil and just the latest incarnation of the go-faster world where people demand and get everything now. In other ways the Web has contributed hugely to the democratisation of communication and has become an invaluable way of spreading new ideas and different ways of doing things ... all with very low energy cost. On a very mundane level web-based communication has the potential to reduce the need for people to physically travel from place-to-place and the resulting drop in energy use can only be a good thing. High speed broadband access should accentuate this trend so it is something to be applauded.
