TARI VALLEY, Papua New Guinea —The purpose of this expedition to the "Digital Village" has been fulfilled. For the past two weeks we've been traveling in Australia and Papua New Guinea, looking for a small close group of people who would share their world with us, and their view of that world. We brought along digital cameras and a portable printer, all supplied by HP, to help these people tell their stories. We were fortunate enough to find allies in a family of the Teka clan in the Tari Valley.
