While the Goa governments (of whichever party) offers tall promises about how IT savvy they are, what great plans they has to offer broadband connectivity across the state, or give almost-free computers to 25,000+ students, the fact is that this technology is hardly used effectively here.
While we are all good at incurring expenses, are computers used to actually communicate more effectively? Some time ago, I had written to over 107 government officials as a teast case, and got back just two replies! Earlier this week, I was a bit surprised to find that that the Directorate of Art & Culture (on the 5th Floor, Shram Shakti Bhavan, Patto, Panjim ph 243 8103) actually uses a yahoo.co.in address for its official work -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] One would have thought that official addresses would be used for official work. Just a thought. FN -- Frederick Noronha http://fn.goa-india.org Ph +91-832-2409490
