The countdown has started O’Connell Street’s new resident moves in on Sunday!

eBody will live online in Clerys window for six nights and five days

The countdown for eBody aka Padraidh Hearns has started, there are only two days to go before he moves into Clerys window for the week. Padraidh will start his week long technology awareness adventure in the window of Clerys this Sunday 25 April 2004 at 12pm. Padraidh’s best and only friends for the week will be the technology at his finger-tips and it will be a case of  ‘click to survive’!

Padraidh will only have a broadband connection and a mobile phone to fend for himself  while he will order his food online, surfing the net and communicating with the general public.

To catch a glimpse inside the fully furnished Clerys mini-apartment window before the doors shut on Padraidh you are invited to see him into the appartmenta nd to shut the door on the outside world Sunday at 12pm.

The project is part of eWeek, a Dublin Chamber initiative, which will see 10,000 people from all walks of life attending more than 50 scheduled events, which will take place in the Dublin’s Mansion House, Digital Hub, Civic Offices, and a range of other regional locations. The project is supported by the Government, eircom, Esat BT, O2, and Oracle.

Highlights of the week will include a series of launches from Government agencies and the corporate sector along with conferences, exhibitions, digital and future workshops, schools visits, and round table forums. Full details of the events are available at www.eweekireland.ie
