Digital Dilemma

Ghana's Digital Dilemma
THe MIT Technology Review has this article on the Digitial Divide, and all the problems that come with it. It focuses on Ghana, a country that is close to my heart, and is fairly precise in its description of the issues.

The only thing i disagree with is that the article insinuates that delivering IT to Ghana makes
people less content because they learn more about the world at large.
While this is partially true, we (the west) have already forced them into global society, and isolating them is a delaying tactic at best (and is also severly condescending :-)

Thanks to Charlie for the link.
