ib_geog2009 Global Interactions Shrinking world ict adoption

shared by Kathleen Noreisch on 25 Sep 11 - Cached

Kathleen Noreisch on 25 Sep 11

This website has some great data on various developing countries' rates of adoption of ICT (in particular, mobile phones, internet, radio and television) - click on "country profiles" to see which countries are available. While there is slightly less data available for Haiti, Tanzania, Zambia and Mozambique, the dedicated mini-sites for each of the other countries include data on access to various forms of "traditional media" (newspapers, radio) and "new media" (internet and mobile phones). There is also data on usage of the various forms of media by age group, gender and socio-economic status. I particularly like the annotations on the graphs, which will hopefully help students focus on the key data and show them how annotations can help add clarity and further information to figures (graphs, maps etc).

"The conditions that need to be present to text in Liberia do not necessarily exist simply because someone has access to a phone; if there is one major assumption that many of us in ICT for development are guilty of, it's this one." - an interesting piece which could be used to critically examine the adoption of mobile phone technology in sub-Saharan Africa and its role in civil society. Just having access is not always enough...
