Notes:
Posted at: http://www.cddc.vt.edu/knownet/internetinfo-cases.html, KnowNet.org Initiative. 35 pages., Brief summaries (alphabetically, by country) of several dozen projects that address development-related issues and goals through the use of varied information media and methods.
Author asks whether new communications technologies can solve global development problems, or are they just a new way to make old mistakes? Examines the assumption that if you move data around instead of physical objects, then you can reduce pollution and energy use significantly. For example, analyses need to include environmental costs of the computers and networks themselves.
