In Ashutosh, Deshpande, Deshpande Foundation, DFP, Dharwad, Hubli on September 16, 2008 at 1:26 pm- Only 7% Indians know the English Language Imagine what the Internet means for rest 93%Almost all Internet Users have disposable Income
- Out of 200 billion webpages there are only 20 million Indian Webpages
The digital Divide is due to:
- Absence of Content
- Barriers to access
- Lack of Contextually Relevant Applications
Google offers what user MEANT to ask not what user asked
What can we as individuals do to bridge the digital divide?
- Be involved in Translation
- Understand Information that they need and deliver them
- Communicate,Collaborate and Raise their awareness of technolgy at their Disposal
Non Profit sector suffers from
- Problems of Scalability
- Inherent Systemic Issues
- Work like their are in Prenetwork age
Remember:
- Revenues will follow if the idea is good
- Hire the very best
The job of technolgists is to make jobs simple - We must not need manuals
- So what if the poor cannot read or write they can look for Audio and Video
Three things that make Innovations
- A bottom Up approach
- Rewarding people even if they fail
- No Bureaucracy -It kills Innovation.
