Thank you Cindy for the kind words... "One of the major problem is, we tend to simplify things and provide a ONE-size-fit-all solution. We think what works in Latin America will work in Asia..." Both of which are CONTINENTS with a myriad of geographic, economic, and sociological environments, not to mention ethnicities, cultures, languages, often with multiple dialects within those. Solutions to the problems that any one country faces still has to engage the millions of individuals that make up a given society which likely has urban, suburban, exurban, and rural components. So indeed, "technology is not the problem--people is." The good thing about ICT is we can bring minds together from across the world to try get a handle on a given problem. I am pretty much a Luddite terrified by the prosepct of even downloading music, let alone building a Blog. There, I said it! On the other hand, I am Blessed with a gift of gab and a mind that can cut through the nonsense and get to the core of certain issues. This hasn't made me any $$ but I have been able to help some folks learn to use the technologies I don't understand to their advantage. Each to their own abilities. I look to people like Andy, Taran, Phil, Dr. Bork, Cindy, Claude, the indefatiguable Bonnie Bracey and all the rest of our DDN brethren to fill in the gaps. All the Best!
