- Why is wireless technology successful as a solution to the digital divide?
Since people can now have these traveling access points they can access the internet once a day for a period of time. This allows them to do things they couldn't do before. Having the wireless access means that the government do not have to lay down thousands of pounds to put fiber optics or something like that to different places. So, it saves a lot of money for both the governement and the people of the remote villages as they are able to collect information about different things that it would have taken them ages to find out about without access to the internet and a computer.
- Which of the problems that cause the digital divide does it overcome?
The fact that these countries are not able to connect to the internet and talk to other people accross the world. They are now able to start to catch up with the rest of the world technologically because they have access to that information. It also opens up a lot more jobs to increase the GDA of the countries.
- Does the growth in available wireless technology have clear social, economic, educational and cultural benefits for the society involved?
Social: More people are connected together and it will speed up what people learn.
Educational: Schools are able to gain access to the interenet so they are able to learn more from it. They will be able to learn how to use computers and then that generation will be able to teach the next and then the next until they catch up with the rest of the world.
Culture: There will be a lot more jobs about for different things so there culture will change to form around this. However they will also be able to get the latest methods for things such as farming and different cultural things, this will increase their productivity allowing them to live in better standards.
