DESCRIPTION

Hans Rosling, professor of global health at Sweden's Karolinska Institute, recently stated that despite the wide availability of data in the world, there is a significant gap in local access to this knowledge. In this panel, experts in media development and mobile technology will discuss how information is shared in low-bandwidth environments. The panel will include case studies, interactive discussion about the sharing of news and information in areas of limited web connectivity, and tips on how to deal with issues of security, trust and safety. Examples include creative, interactive radio broadcasts; training and engagement of citizen journalists via SMS; and the challenges of maintaining data integrity in regions of high risk reporting. The session will end with a discussion of trending issues related to connectivity, such as offline participation in social media and the emergence of sensor networks. http://schedule.sxsw.com/2014/events/event_IAP25082

The digital divide

The concept of the digital divide has its origins in the idea of information ldquohavesrdquo and information ldquohave-notsrdquo This is the belief that as we move into an information society information becomes more significant in peoplersquos lives and a lack of access can disadvantage citizens as much as any other resource

newmaya

Wednesday March 12 14

Beyond Connectivity news4all

What can cause this digital divide

bull New technologies are often limited in their availability and local communities may develop their own solutions to gain access to them

bull The ldquodigital dividerdquo metaphor focuses on treating people as passive recipients rather than active users engaging with technology

newmaya

What is access

Digital access was originally defined as the possession of physical access to the equipment required for an internet connection a cable connection of some description (usually a telephone line) and the appropriate terminal devices (usually a modem and computer)

newmaya

Beyond Connectivity news4all

What is access

bull The cost of purchasing a computer and subscribing to an internet connection has meant universal access has not been achieved as quickly

bull Achieving physical access does not equate to crossing all the boundaries of the digital divide

Build community

bull Bringing citizens online as part of a community rather than individuals is a more effective and sustainable method of enabling individuals to cross the digital divide and stay across the divide

bull An individual is more likely to cross the divide and stay across as part of a community

bull The community can offer support and brings with it social needs and purposes

Develop a bottom-up approach

Developing a bottom-up networked community project based within an existing community of locality where there is already a significant level of social interaction is more likely to succeed than implementing a top-down networked community project into an arbitrarily selected community

The digital divide

The concept of the digital divide has its origins in the idea of information ldquohavesrdquo and information ldquohave-notsrdquo This is the belief that as we move into an information society information becomes more significant in peoplersquos lives and a lack of access can disadvantage citizens as much as any other resource

newmaya

Wednesday March 12 14

Beyond Connectivity news4all

What can cause this digital divide

bull New technologies are often limited in their availability and local communities may develop their own solutions to gain access to them

bull The ldquodigital dividerdquo metaphor focuses on treating people as passive recipients rather than active users engaging with technology

newmaya

What is access

Digital access was originally defined as the possession of physical access to the equipment required for an internet connection a cable connection of some description (usually a telephone line) and the appropriate terminal devices (usually a modem and computer)

newmaya

Wednesday March 12 14

Beyond Connectivity news4all

What is access

bull The cost of purchasing a computer and subscribing to an internet connection has meant universal access has not been achieved as quickly

bull Achieving physical access does not equate to crossing all the boundaries of the digital divide

Build community

bull Bringing citizens online as part of a community rather than individuals is a more effective and sustainable method of enabling individuals to cross the digital divide and stay across the divide

bull An individual is more likely to cross the divide and stay across as part of a community

bull The community can offer support and brings with it social needs and purposes

Develop a bottom-up approach

2014 digital first becomes mobile first

In January mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) accounted for 47 of the Guardians monthly browsers vs 39 a year ago However on Saturdays and Sundays mobile devices now account for the majority of unique browsers on the Guardian sites 55

The digital divide

The concept of the digital divide has its origins in the idea of information ldquohavesrdquo and information ldquohave-notsrdquo This is the belief that as we move into an information society information becomes more significant in peoplersquos lives and a lack of access can disadvantage citizens as much as any other resource

The digital divide

The concept of the digital divide has its origins in the idea of information ldquohavesrdquo and information ldquohave-notsrdquo This is the belief that as we move into an information society information becomes more significant in peoplersquos lives and a lack of access can disadvantage citizens as much as any other resource

What can cause this digital divide

bull New technologies are often limited in their availability and local communities may develop their own solutions to gain access to them

bull The ldquodigital dividerdquo metaphor focuses on treating people as passive recipients rather than active users engaging with technology

What is access

Digital access was originally defined as the possession of physical access to the equipment required for an internet connection a cable connection of some description (usually a telephone line) and the appropriate terminal devices (usually a modem and computer)

What is access

bull The cost of purchasing a computer and subscribing to an internet connection has meant universal access has not been achieved as quickly

Build community

bull Bringing citizens online as part of a community rather than individuals is a more effective and sustainable method of enabling individuals to cross the digital divide and stay across the divide

bull An individual is more likely to cross the divide and stay across as part of a community

bull The community can offer support and brings with it social needs and purposes

The digital divide

The concept of the digital divide has its origins in the idea of information ldquohavesrdquo and information ldquohave-notsrdquo This is the belief that as we move into an information society information becomes more significant in peoplersquos lives and a lack of access can disadvantage citizens as much as any other resource

Beyond Connectivity news4all

What can cause this digital divide

bull New technologies are often limited in their availability and local communities may develop their own solutions to gain access to them

bull The ldquodigital dividerdquo metaphor focuses on treating people as passive recipients rather than active users engaging with technology
