This multi-award winning documentary examines one possible solution to the growing technological gap between rich and poor - the so-called "digital divide" - that threatens to consign millions to an "information underclass." When Indian researcher Sugata Mitra embedded a high-speed computer in a wall separating his firm's New Delhi headquarters from an adjacent slum, he discovered that slum children quickly taught themselves how to surf the net, read the news, and download games and music. Mitra then replicated the experiment in other locations. Each time the results were similar: within hours, and without instruction, the children began browsing the Internet. Here we see how children, given only access and opportunity, teach themselves the rudiments of computer literacy with no instruction; also we discover that the spread of information technology is changing societies around the world, and the implications of Mitra's experiment are profound, especially for poor people. 546 In English. 650 0 Educational equalization. 650 0 Educational technology. 650 0 Internet in education. 700 1 O'Connor, Rory,|cdirector. 700 1 Rossellin, Gil. 710 2 Chip Taylor Communications. 710 2 Globalvision, Inc. 856 40 |uhttp://sherman.library.nova.edu/auth/index.php?aid=728& url=http://www.aspresolver.com/ aspresolver.asp?EDV2;1795314|zAvailable via Alexander Street Press Electronic Collection; click here for access< br><img class="wb_perm_icon" src="/screens/wb_cond_10.gif" alt="Local access for all registered users.
