Abstract

The rural poor of developing countries have the opportunity to explore the world through school Internet programs. For students without phones at home, the Internet allows them to discover things unimaginable to their parents. The proposed session will try to raise awareness of such use of the Internet and the responsibility of developed countries to assist.
