Digital Divide
Many people are using the Web but a significant number of people still do
not have regular, effective access and the ability to use digital technologies.
This is known as the ”Digital Divide”.
Solution
• Agreed

– About the solutions
Solution
1. One laptop per child
Solution
2. Microsoft Windows Mobile with TV-OUT
Solution
3. Spreading mobile with web access (2.4 billionplus)
W3C in action
• Used the third alternative
• Organized Workshop (Mobile web)
– Two communities participated

2.
Experts in inventing new technology
Experts in economic and social issues
Result:
- Still a gap..
Good sign:
- Workshops help them in further cooperation
- Successful ICT projects rely on the cooperation of experts from both areas

Situation in 2007

Text-based browser
Not create low-level web
One web (needs further work)
Develop local applications
Internationalization of content
Conclusion
•
•
•

Need for public forum
Understand the software and hardware
