ICT Policies & Studies

By any civic, moral and legal yardsticks,the expansion of transnational/global knowledge and research should not be blocked/checked or spied by the administrative means. The new western technologies are being used to make an unwarranted ghetto between the developing and the developed world- a measure that is against all the fundamental norms/rights for which the Western/ governments/ civil societies do claim to be the defenders or champions.

The poll question should provide more clarity on the types and forms of western digital technologies in question. Overall, yes, WESTERN DOMINATED initatives are always a threat to local knowledge in developing societies..

I feel that photography and videography or practitioners within these fields create several problems for people in developing societies because they fail to communicate with them, work under and with their guidance/knowledge/expertise or permission and they create media void of cultural relativity.
