The World Bank, and other organizations that discuss the topic of our world's Digital Divide, refuse to consider the obvious catalyst, the computer, as a way to speed up closing the Digital Divide. When presented with solutions that address the distribution of computers to Third World countries, these organizations typically respond with classic reference to the need for infrastructure, first, then computers. They say it's too expensive to move computers around the world. The list of excuses goes on and on. A closer look, however, reveals that once a computer is sitting on a table in any village, anywhere in the developing nations world, the Digital Divide is instantly in motion to close that Digital Divide for that community. Consider the computer on a cart pulled by a donkey and moved from community to community around the mountains in South America, as one example. In our country, a computer loaded with software from Stanford University's Center for Computer Research in Music and Acoustics allows the user to create high quality CDs, DVDs, tv and radio shows, even full-featured films. The set up is nothing more than a cheap PC and the world's most sophisticated software, i.e., it costs nothing out-of-pocket to create. What a marvelous catalyst for bringing low-income neighborhoods into the global economy. Of course, such a catalyst also makes it possible to consider Wifi and WiMax networks that leave telcos and cable industries whistling in the wind. Might be, if we had our airwaves given back to us, we could move along quicker to closing our Digital Divide, eh?
