Movement

(Some words used in this web page are in the Hawaiian langauge)

This theme asks the question "How do people, goods and ideas get transported from place to place?" This involves, communication and transportation. There are many modes of communication and transportation ofpeople, goods and ideas,... how does this place handle them.

Communication

In the past, Kane'ohe used to be considered a remote location,... a very country town with very little communication with the "big city" of Honolulu. Today, Kane'ohe is considered a large city. Communication is available via cellular phones, e-mail, newspaper, telephones, television, and of course, traditional mail. Kane'ohe has several cell phone store outlets like Cingular, Verizon, T-Mobile and Mobi that people can go to if they need to purchase a cell phone or subscribe for services. E-mail is available to most people who have computers from various internet providers such as Road Runner, Verizon, AOL and many others. The Honolulu Advertiser, the Honolulu Star Bulletin and Midweek are newspapers that are delivered to Kane'ohe on a daily basis (except Midweek which is weekly). Newspaper carriers and newspaper stands are located throughout Kane'ohe town. Telephone companies like Hawaiian Telcom and Oceanic Cable provide basic pone services for the people of Kane'ohe. Cable T.V. with all it's many channels is available on the Windward side of the island,... Kane'ohe included. Traditional mail is also utilized heavily, which is evident by the long lines at the Kane'ohe Post Office.

Transportation

Transportation today in Kane'ohe is not typical of the past, when horses or canoes were the main means of transportation for the residents of Kane'ohe. Today, people travel by automobiles, bicycles, mopeds, skate boards, jet skis and motor boats (just to name a few means of trasportation).
