Connect-World - Connect-World India (2014)

この号では

India’s phenomenal development in recent years is due in good part to opportunities generated by digital technology. Digital devices, indispensible to everything from factories to entertainment, are driving the growth of a knowledge-based economy in India. Digital technology is revolutionising education, knowledge dissemination and field worker support systems and supporting endeavours of all types in places never before possible.

Digital technologies have an greater impact upon both he urban poor and those in isolated rural areas than in more developed regions. The spread of low cost information and communication has given those in the poorest regions unprecedented access to information, goods, government services, health services, and education and has generated jobs in the most unlikely hard to reach regions.
The spread of mobile broadband is certain to drive and accelerate these trends. Rising income, a growing number of knowledge workers, and the ripple effect generated by the ever-wider distribution of connected devices are sure to boost the economy and a great many of the benefits will flow down and reach out to even the poorest most remote citizens of India.
This issue of Connect-World India will look at how the introduction of increasingly powerful information and communication technologies - the hardware, software, communications, applications and content - are changing life in India and preparing for a brighter future.
