Dear Alok: I am also working my DU paper regarding ICTs role int the third world (education in this case). I am quite reluctant about this kind of measures and also had looked at Kenny's point of view which remarks the weaknesses of these plans. I will be happy to share my thought with you.

Hello,
I am Alok Kotecha, a Computer Science major at the College of Charleston. I am working on a paper for my English 102 class that is based mainly on donating computers to the developing nations of Africa, mostly Tanzania, Kenya, Ethiopia, Mozambique & Zambia.
My main argument is that developed nations donate technology such as computers to these counties with the aim of technologically advancing the nations, however they do not consider the fact that donating computers is not the main thing to be done at this stage.
