Youth and Technology

The world of Today is growing very fast with the development of technology. In this prospect some parts of the world have remained completely out of this technology development due to the negligence of leaders and to a greater point the educated youths. At this era of the new millennium youths of develop countries have up get up and help those other undeveloped countries youths to have access to these technology developments.
I hereby call on all youths around the world to stand up and help the younger population by providing the necessary technology skills. Look at my case; I am a Nepali, who has been operating in Global technology Concerned Center for the past few year after all this period of time I have realized that 60% of the Nepalese population do not have access to computer technology nor have any knowledge about it. About 75% do not know about the internet, and even when they do know it is usually difficult for them to approach cyber café’s. Some of us who have an idea about the technology tend to tell the other youths the advantages of the internet and having computer knowledge in a dramatic way so that they get discouraged.. So what I have been doing is taking a statistical approach which will help me develop a strategy to help the youths around here and ( all over the world get use to developing technology so that it should not look mystical to them.
So I hope this will inspire youths to do the same in different related fields, so that together we make a better world for our offspring’s and help the young population in the world not to see any thing as a mystery. We can do that if youths of the world come together towards an objective and I thank TIG for the job they have been doing for the past few years with the help of other youths.

that´s why the Internet is no longer a question of technology

it´s also a question of education, enlightment, opportunities, power, democracy, law, inspiration, innovation, access, culture, etc. etc.
the Internet is a socio-cultural, socio-economic, socio-political, socio-technical enhancer at large.
peace,
laurent

And to add to Laurent, the issue on ICTs should also not be separated from other social and human development concerns. Good luck on your endeavors!:-)
