Teme is friendly
Submitted by Paul Tiffany (not verified) on Mon, 05/25/2009 - 02:13The Teme Foundation is undergraduates for undergraduates. Teme's founders believe the unrelenting enthusiasm and empathy of the world's future leaders must be a clarion call in fight against existential threats. Ours, unlike any other generation, matured in the dawn of the computer age. Our relationship to technology is one fundamentally different from that of our ancestors. Irradiated with technological influence, we are our grandparents' mutant tech support superheros. Indeed, while I make effort to understand technology's impact on myself, I am completely overwhelmed when considering the relationship children today are developing with technology. Thus, Teme will always consist of undergraduates: those young leaders of society, reared in an increasingly complex world, providing clarity.
Technology presents opportunity and responsibility. Teme exists to enable undergraduate efforts on both accounts. The Teme Foundation provides platforms for undergraduate innovation in an increasingly technological world: social networking, blogs, an undergraduate research initiative, video, and other tools we find useful in creatively collaborating. As we use these tools, they will evolve as temes (techno-memes).
