Equity

“Technology is defined by investments, and the whole objective of investments is to make more money. Given this, it is a little naïve to expect that technology will work for the poor. Technology will work for those who can afford it. This is not to say that technology is bad: it just means that those of us who are concerned with equity will need to be subversive: to put technology to uses that its investors never intended it to do. It also means that if we want the advantages of technology for the poor to be sustainable, then we will need to create business plans of, and for the poor.”
