Charity brings podcast to Peruvian village to impact agriculture
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4688882.stm The United Kingdom Practical Action pilot project provides agricultural tips to farmers in remote Peruvian villages.
- Yes, the telecenters might run on solar power
- the podcasts might be downloaded onto CD to broadcast on radio stations in native dialects
- and the village might only have electricity for 2 hours a day
BUT isn't this a thrilling, triumphant, enticing idea to connect people to expertise ..... without regard to location, economic means, social class, etc.
Technology at its finest when used to overcome poverty, improve business, and proliferate education.
