What percentage of internet users in the Western world have past ict experience and/or technological background? The whole technology is at most one generation old, so we are not talking about something deeply ingrained in any culture. Every contests provider claims (with varying degrees of truthfulness) that its website is easy to navigate for everybody.... > - type of applications:we might want to explore what are the major > domains or areas where services will be most useful to people > (health, education,....) There is nothing wrong with collecting any sort of information, but for what practical purpose? Can we honestly say what's of interest to pearl fishers in Sri Lanka and llama farmers in Peru, apart from some generic terms like health & education? Shouldn't the contents be left to local market forces and entrepreneurs?? Big web success stories (eBay, FaceBook, YouTube etc) were not created because a group of wise experts decided they should be created. Janusz Lukasiak
