<<Since
the early 90's, FUNREDES' position is that "ICT
for Development" is NOT about plugging and playing, chatting and
surfing,
getting information abroad, converging to one language, one culture and
one
market. It's about empowering persons and communities, collaborating
and social
networking, producing local content, facilitating diversity of
languages,
cultures and opinions.>>
