In August we put on our fourth TechFestNW. Every Saturday we'll be rolling out videos of our many engaging speakers, who explored topics ranging from drones to digital storytelling to the future of virtual reality.

This week Latoya Peterson talks about rethinking mobile to bridge the digital divide and democratizing technology so information is accessible to everyone.
