yes. but it will take great resistance to get-rich-quick schemes orchestrated by american corporations. instead, because there is a great push to bring ICT (information and communication technology) to "third world" countries, and the Philippines is one of the places poised to benefit, that's where the effort should be pushed. not only can ICT bring people a free education, it can allow people in the countryside to have access to information they might not otherwise have, enabling them to bypass people who would cheat them. it enables them to bypass, in fact, all kinds of people who would censor their knowledge, and otherwise do them ill. it can be a great tool for getting out from under oppression. \n\n(see this link: http://owli.org/search/node/philippines?PHPSESSID=c9a8f079b33e9cad428fb1ef8bad7e89.)

Most developing countries have problems in areas where population  is higher as compared to income generating sources. Adding to these woes is lack of educational infrastructure to bring the masses into mainstream of business value streams.\n\nTherefore, the focus of government policies should be to direct FDI into areas which achieve two parts (a) generate maximum number of income avenues (b) have education/learning support.\n\nNow some of the best avenues in my view, for this two pronged avenue is to direct FDI into are those which rely on "first wave" of agriculture but also are a stepping stone to services e.g. agro/food processing and distribution businesses. \n\nSuch agrarian distribution businesses capitalize on the traditional know-how of masses whose main business in most cases is agriculture. It also introduces/educates the masses in a gradual way to standardization of methods, logistics, technological know-how for food processing/preservation and last but not the least, distribution in retail chains. Hence, the impact of investments is soft and yet wide spread (soft because people do not have to make a quantum shift in learning new technologies overnight).\n\nInvestments in high tech sectors in developing countries, definitely is a cost saver for the business houses but, it is, in short and medium term, never an employment generator and hence, does not benefit the developing countries.

It's a bit difficult because your first sentence is ambiguous. At present it reads as "all of the two claims" relate back to what you said in a previous paragraph. I get the impression, though, that your "two claims" are the ones you make beneath, regarting humanism and naturalism? I have assumed this in my redrafting. I have also taken the liberty of reorganising your arguments a bit and add a sentence at the bottom.  \n\nI would like to make two claims, both of which may seem extreme, but which in fact seek to keep the world from going to devastating extremes. We have forgotten essential things. We are in constant pursuit of economic and technological progress without properly considering human development. For instance, computer technology, which may seem human and can be adapted to emulate human behaviour, is anything but. \n\nAlso, we should put nature above most other things, because we ourselves derive from nature. Loving nature and earth is like loving your parents, and I fervently hope earth will not be ruined by so-called "progress". People like to say that the world is developing, but they should perhaps stop to think about the true meaning of the word development. \n\nThus, true development is the one that takes as its beginning and its end our humanism, and places this humanism in the context of the fate of nature and earth.

Beyond Bureaucracy:\nThe Development Agenda\nMaking it to the 21st Century\ndepends on the participation of everyone \nand the re-creation of our major institutions\nan Interview with David C. Korten, by Alan AtKisson\nOne of the articles in Making It Happen (IC#28)\nSpring 1991, Page 26\nCopyright (c)1991, 1996 by Context Institute | To order this issue ...\n\n\nIf your interest is in "making it happen" - participating in the transformation of our societies to a more humane and sustainable way of life - there is one book you simply must read: David Korten's Getting to the 21st Century: Voluntary Action and the Global Agenda. The distillation of nearly three decades of research and field experience, Korten's book is both tightly focused (on the primacy of non-governmental organizations and voluntary action in creating a better world) and expansive (his analysis weaves together such diverse elements as the environment, global economy, governance institutions, and the transformation of consciousness).\n\nBut while Korten's agenda is radical in the truest sense, his roots are decidedly mainstream - M.B.A. and Ph.D. from Stanford University Graduate School of Business; faculty positions at Harvard, the Asian Institute of Management, and other institutions; on staff at the Ford Foundation; and consultant to the US Agency for International Development [AID]. And his message - despite its challenge to the legitimacy of some of the world's most entrenched bureaucracies - is being heard.\n\nKorten is now Founder and President of the People-Centered Development Forum, "a voluntary organization ... to encourage and support the definition and pursuit of a people-centered development vision as a global citizens' movement." We are pleased to announce that he is also the newest contributing editor to IN CONTEXT. In this lengthy and wide-ranging interview, he traces the development of his thinking and sketches out the critical elements of an action agenda for getting to the 21st Century. His book is available from Kumarian Press, 630 Oakwood Ave., Suite 119, West Hartford, CT 06110 ($19.95 postpaid).\n\nAlan: Development has, in the West at least, been considered too big for anyone but government to tackle. But in your book, you argue persuasively that such thinking is inherently flawed - and that, in fact, it leads to disaster.\n\nDavid: Right. We have to think of development as a people's movement, not as a government-funded project. Development issues relate to values and relationships - which you cannot buy with government funding.\n\nThat's a trap we've gotten into - we think government can correct these things for us. But we cannot expect our "leaders" - in quotes - to provide the necessary leadership. What we see now demonstrated is quite the opposite - our current leadership is taking us very skillfully and powerfully in exactly the wrong direction with great intent.\n\nAlan: How did you come to these conclusions, and move from large institutional settings such as USAID to developing something like the People-Centered Development Forum? What was the evolutionary pathway?\n\nDavid: My start in the international development business was actually in business management and management education. The shift began when I was the academic director of INCAE, the Central American management institute. We were studying the family planning programs of El Salvador and Nicaragua, and one of the critical influences on my thinking was seeing how the structures of those systems thwarted any effort to both generate client demand and be responsive to it. The nature of bureaucratic organizations made such responsiveness impossible.\n\nSo, once back in the US, I began working with people from Third World management institutes and the heads of national family planning programs in a major effort to improve management in these programs. Some of us reached the conclusion that one of the important f

There are several topics that have a social impact and comp. sci related:\n\n1) Open source technologies and how they are benefitting/harming business, society, culture. \n\n2) Is computer science an elitist science and can it/should it be made more accessible? How would such accessibility be possible?\n\n3) As technologies grow and advance, how are we humans growing advancing? As in, are we changing technology or is technology changing us?\n\n4) What would happen if the entire world could connect to the internet? Would this spread more good or more evil?\n\n5) Why is the pick-up of new technology slow? How come when a better solution exists, people continue to go with the older worse one?\n\n6) Is the emergence of computer technology in every field a good thing? This esp. if people lose their jobs because of computers taking over their work. \n\nI could think of quite a few more, but have to go. \n\nGood luck!

What does a computer best of?\n1. If you have a computer, retrieval of data is a matter of seconds. If you have no computer, imagine going around the files and papers and not counting the dust and stress it will be just to find record.\n2. All routine jobs, like computation is so much easy.  Making copies of your letters are faster. \n3. Access to information is better.  No need to go to library  and wait for the queue.  You can access the world libraries and ideas with other people and other nationalities and who knows, the author himself.

There are currently NGO's  doing just that. The problem in the developing nations is the corruption in all areas of government. As volunteers or paid employee's the task can become daunting as technology introduced into these villages that seems antique by our standards is modern to them. Teaching modern farming techniques like rotating crops and good agriculture management empowers the local farmers and improves yield. It is a time consuming venture and water management pratices are very important when well water is the only source. You have a good idea, work with it and have fun.
