the next evolutionary step for "your local pub". "YOUR LOCAL HUB". what exactly is that ? it is the amalgamation of all those needs and wants in any village or town under one roof. a place where people can stay connected offline and online. the local pub has taken a massive hit in the last 6 years, especially in rural areas, and as a result, more and more of them have closed and as a consequence, done a lot of serious damage to the social fabric of irish society. the Local Hub can restore all of that and more. it can be a synthesis of all that is necessary and wanted in terms of social and economic functions in any given community. local hubs would be located all over the island of ireland, literally thousands and thousands of them ; a physical and digital network, all enabled and connected by the power of the internet. there would be no such thing as having no job as there would always be a job down in your local hub ; paid, subsidised, or voluntary. and while you're down there, you can look for another job offline or online, and have a pint of Guinness and a bag of Tayto. and some Craic. and if you don't know where to look, for anything at all, one of the hubbits, employed in your local hub will show you how. open 24 hours, it's a public-private-physical-digital network, connecting the entire island to the entire planet. Crazy craic - but it might just work.
