Response Number Four
What would having a standard of internet connection do for Africa? Revolutionary, or simply crazy? As per our discussion in class, it is clear that people feel very differently about the subject of technological advances- not because they are not for advancement, but they are worried about the social, economical, and political cost.
However, Craig Barrett, CEO at Intel, seems very positive about creating a wireless network based off of the new "WiMax" technology. He cites Nigeria as a country that would benefit immensely, due to the lack of cooper resources. People are already paying exorbitant amounts to have access to their cell phones and internet- why not lessen that burden?
It seems to be the simplest choice in an every complex technological arena.
