Åke Nygren's presentation highlights the role of public libraries as community hubs for connected learning, emphasizing the need to support digital literacy and bridge the digital divide. Libraries should engage with local communities through events and collaboration with schools and other organizations to enhance learning experiences. The presentation advocates for a shift towards ownership of the internet, encouraging individuals to create and solve problems rather than just consume content.

Getting online is not enough
Digital literacy for both digital visitors and residents

9. Kids are already learning after school -
there are studies out there that show they’re
online, finding interests from peer circles
and becoming experts and reaching
mentors.
So all that we really need to do is for
libraries and schools and other like-minded
agencies to realize how they can be a part
of that learning, which is already happening

Centralization has become the norm—the
parameters of everything we do online are
determined by a few large organizations. We've
grown to accept the idea that the main activity of
online life should be contributing content to
platforms that someone else controls.
We risk creating an Internet where the
possibilities are determined
by Michelle Baker, the views of a few.

The Internet offers untold potential for humanity.
To make the most of it, we need to think of the Internet as “ours.”
The heart of the Internet is individuals taking action,
making things, solving problems,
and ultimately building their own environment
People are more naturally protective
of what they create than of what they consume.
