Notes:
Via online. 2 pages., Fact sheet describes progress in Goal 8, which includes improving access to information and communication technology, as part of the Millennium Development Goals for 2015. Based on United Nations Summit, High-level plenary meeting of the General Assembly, September 20-22, 2010, in New York.
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.
