“Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What’s a sundial in the shade.”

-Benjamin Franklin

 

Benjamin Franklin
January 17, 1706

 
 
 

Ten generations have read Franklin’s words in print. This site's been created to bring a few of Franklin's words to a generation that reads words set in html, not hot metal type. How would a funny, cosmopolitan, entrepreneur like Franklin have used the internet before he undertook the duties of state? What sites would Franklin go to now?

Created for the Nexus/Foundation for Today's Art show Benjamin Franklin: An American Idol which is part of the international traveling exhibition Benjamin Franklin: In Search of a Better World.
