Bridging the digital divide

I found this interesting CNN article about Robert Conway, CEO of the GSM Association, who spoke about the ability of mobile phones to "bridge the digital divide".

He participated in the Principal Voices debate in 2005 and talked about how technology impacted development across the world and the role mobile phone technology played.

Internet at the Amazons

I found an interesting story about aboriginal tribes in the Amazons using internet to stop the illegal cut down of trees that I would like to share with all of you. Unfortunately I only found a Spanish version but I can summarize the content for you.
Tribe Surui from the Brazilian Amazons is using the web to denounce the illegal cut down of trees in the rainforest.
This tribe only got in contact with the modern world 40 years ago while electricity only reached them last year.
However the members… Continue

Todos ellos acuden al mismo lugar para conectarse a Internet y aprender a usar las herramientas de información y comunicación que el telecentro les ofrece. Pero cada uno de ellos tiene planes y expectativas diferentes. Para Alvaro Rodríguez de 17 años aprender a… Continue

One step forward

A community is formed by people, common interests and as many different points of views as individuals. telecentre.org is no exception.
As a member of this community I feel committed to participate, to share my perspective, to help in some way that benefits all the community.
Although since July 2007 telecentre.org embraces me as part of the team I still feel humble and timid to write or express firm opinions about telecentres as a whole. The reason behind is quite simple I still have much to le… Continue

Thanks Mariana for all the photo posts at our site. Usually for the photos we ask for some basic information as the caption or description and that is: what, when and where. Your title captures what and where and you may want to add when. Can you please take some time to add those in the photos before these are approved? How is life in Montevideo?
