The Skokie Digital Media Lab contains four new Apple desktop computers loaded with software that will enable users to creatively

express themselves through digital videos, music, photography, websites, graphic design, podcasts, presentations and other forms of

digital media. The room also features two scanners, an electronic keyboard, and a green screen wall. Digital cameras, Flip video

camcorders, portable hard drives, and tripods are also available for overnight checkout.

During the Clinton presidency democratic strategist James Carville, was fond of saying, "It's the

economy, stupid."

Much the same could be said today.

The stimulus and all the federal policies in the world will not help if all we do is prop up

the old economy. It is rather the new economy, the creative economy begging for

attention
