                      Even though e-readiness measures provide a useful overview of the environmental situation, they do not completely reflect the possibility of achieving development from ICTs in developing countries. The report argues that in order to obtain a more accurate measure, the level of individuals within organizations using the technology is more useful.

                      Technology is the process by which humans modify nature to meet their needs and wants. It includes all of the infrastructure necessary for the design, manufacture, operation, and repair of technological artifacts. This report states how the PDA technology has helped improve health research by eliminating the usual time-consuming and error-prone process of data entry and validation. |

                      Digital libraries correspond to the growing interest in digital technology such as digital networks and electronic publishing. They also preserve and provide access to an institution's historical records and publications. Flexibility of digital technology allows it to handle new systems and services efficiently. One of the objectives of the workshop is to make participants aware of the benefits of digital library and information systems and services and to impart skills and knowledge on how to effectively introduce and manage them. |

                      The Internet Government Forum (IGF) convenes in Athens, end of October to chart a way forward for making the running of the Internet more inclusive, and more democratic. Several key issues of concern for members of the Internet community worldwide were articulated in the run-up to the World Summits on the Information Society (WSIS). These issues revolve around enabling control of the 'Internet' and its technical arms to be decentralised from ICANN and its few chosen agents, increasing security of the Internet, having international oversight over the Internet, among others |
