Day 3 (Monday: January 10, 2000)
Accessing the Internet in a Delhi slum community next to NIIT. One division of NIIT, India's largest Information Technology company, abuts a Delhi slum. They have placed a touch screen in a hole in the wall with access to the Internet, to see what happens. The adults won't even touch it but the kids have learned, without ANY training at all, how to use word processing and paint programs and how to access the Internet. I very much enjoyed my day interviewing NIIT executives about this project and their other work, and will look forward to writing much more about it when I come home.
