Issue: June 23, 2011
Tech savvy
These days, it's hard to find someone who isn't connected to the Internet. And most of us pay for the privilege of web surfing, gaming with friends, sending e-mails or watching movies or shows on Netflix. Well, there's quite a bit going on behind the scenes that most of us average users don't realize. The issue of "net neutrality" is heating up, and our feature story this week takes a hard look at what's really going on.
In other news: We say goodbye to a Chico legend; Parkway Elementary makes way for a preschool on campus; Chico mulls its budget; and even babies are getting the green treatment.
Till next time,
