Hi all,
while I agree with the definition, we should note that a telecenter is NOT
only about computer and Internet. Before we attempt to define, it will be
good to list down what an ideal telecenter should have.
Let me start the list.
1) Computers connected to Internet, if possible with
Open Software
2) Telephones
3) Fax machine
4) Printer(s)
5) Photocopy machine
6) File cabinets
7) Scanner
8) Type writer
9) UPS and electrical accessories
10) Basic furnitures and stationaries
11) Digital scanner (X-Ray Digitizer)
12) CD Writer and blank CDs
13) Television and VCR (if possible DVD as well as more
materials are coming in digital formats)
14) Digital camera (if possible a video camera as well
for community functions or the like)
15) Local Radio broadcasting station (only if posisble,
mainly for announcements and prayers perhaps)
16) Weighing machines for vegetables and grains
17) Electronic tools to measure fat levels in
milk
18) Refrigerator (if stable electricity
available)
19) Portable generator with extra drum of fuel
20) Spare wires, bulbs, fuses, and tool set.
21) White Board, a small hall, and some basic training
facilities
22) Childrens' toys and games
I hope this helps to start the list.
