Notes:
Via CrissCrossed blog site. 1 page., Announces an approaching virtual forum about this topic. Author notes the potential of mobile phones for development, but thinks the concept is in the midst of a hype. Urges remembering some important lessons learned from many projects that involve use of information and communication technologies for development.
New programme, "Shamba Shape-Up," explores typical problems encountered by smallholder families on the outskirts of Kenya's towns and cities, then brings in a crack team of experts to sort them out.
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.
