<DIV>Nach Veröffentlichung der "NEUN THESEN zum Charakter von Medienförderung"
erreichten mich Fragen u.a. zur Klärung des von mir verwendeten Begriffs
"traditionelle Kommunikationsstrukturen", die ich für dringend förderungswürdig
halte, und zwar "unter Verwendung kostengünstiger moderner Technologien".</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Für Interessenten möchte ich auf einen grundlegenden Artikel zu dieser
Frage verweisen, der bereits 1995 die Nutzung solcher Technologie für die
ländliche Bevölkerung in einem sogenannten Entwicklungsland beschrieb - auf
Englisch ... </DIV>

<DIV>The recommended paper has been taken from the Internet where it appeared
around 1995 as one of the first important analytical insights in the use of the
web as seen from the perspective of rural dwellers in developing countries. The
author, Shahidul Alam, is a renown photographer based in Bangladesh and he is
also a pioneer in digital technology in Bangladesh and introduced email to the
country in the early nineties.</DIV>

<DIV><EM>"When a modem costs more than a cow", by Shahidul
Alam/Drik:<BR></EM></DIV>
<DIV><EM>... Language forms the biggest barrier to computer literacy in
Bangladesh, and when less than 15% of the population has access to electricity,
and a far smaller fraction owns computers, it is clear that only the wealthy
will have access to this technology. Here, a modem costs more than a cow. Yet
this technology and this associated language both exist. We must stare this dual
hegemony straight in the face, but we cannot, dare not, let this technology pass
us by. To find creative routes to turn this technology to our benefit is our
greatest challenge. ...</EM></DIV>
