IT power for the Weekest and the poorest
October 15, 2007 - 12:09 AM

smile,

I feel the tremendous problem solving and structural reform powers of the IT should be utilized more in support of the poorer communities and countries. But because of its pre-requirements of highly qualified human resources and prohibitive costs initiailly, these sections are unable to harness the powers of the IT. In view of the above factors only rich and dominant communities and countries are able to appreciate the benefits of IT.

We need to seriously think on this and come up with a strategy on IT for the weekest and the Poorest.

The TakingITGlobal community if concentrates on this topic we shall be able to provide a great service to humanity and to the spread of IT.

hello! I am a student to Canterbury Christ Church University and I'm doing a project at school! It's about access to,experiences with, and attitudes towards, digital technology such as computers
and the Web. There are lots of countries that face the technology problem, countries with low diffusion of information and communication. If anyone is from one of these countries and live in London or in cities next to Canterbury I would like to ask him/her a big favour....to let me take him a short interview about this...Or people who are not living in England can answer me on the e-mail.Please if someone could help. We live in a mad world....just say it all and someone will hear you!
