Paper Abstract:
|
The Trás-os-Montes Digital project, covering the Portuguese Northeast (a region known as Trás-os-Montes e Alto Douro) took a novel approach to the problem of the digital divide: to take the USA model of agricultural extension services and attempt to create a similar model for Information and Communication Technology (ICT). While agricultural extension services distribute knowledge (agricultural techniques) to technology users (farmers), this project must create both the awareness for the benefits of technology and render it available. |
