Wired park bench links medieval and modern ages in Britain
The Abbey Gardens bench in Bury St Edmunds is fitted with four phone jacks to connect visitors to both the 11th and 21st centuries. Microsoft MSN funded the project, naming the town after a poem by a local administrator as a winner. The lone bench draws laptop users seeking nature and a taste of cyberspace.
