This is a great thread and enough to bring another lurker to
the surface. 

Thinking back to the people I have worked with over the
years on Telecentre, ISP and other ICT com-dev initiatives,
very few of those who truly made a difference had a
technical background nor could they be termed 'technocrats'
under anything but loosest of definition - Many had problems
even turning a computer on, yet with vision and drive did
much to bridge this global technical divide.

'Hybrid Citizen' certainly seems an apt descriptor for
'Technology Activists', although IMO the 'technology'
component has much less influence than the 'activist'
component.
