Subject: [DDN] Podcast and Photos from M. S. Swaminathan's Speech at the Baramati Conference
Hi everyone,
I've just posted a podcast of Professor M. S. Swaminathan's speech this past weekend at the Baramati conference in India:
http://www.andycarvin.com/podcasts/swaminathan.wav
Prof. Swaminathan is one of the world's leading thinkers on the role of ICTs in global development, particularly in terms of poverty alleviation in rural, agricultural communities. The speech he gave this weekend is one of the best arguments I've heard to date on the importance of bridging the digital divide in the developing world.
The file is rather large, just over 60 megs in size. I still hope to transcribe the speech, but I am not sure when I will have an opportunity to do this, so if anyone would like to volunteer, please email me. I would then post the transcript on the Digital Divide Network website.
Meanwhile, I've also posted some pictures from the presentation on my blog.
