Technology is often promoted as a new “miracle solution” to longstanding developmental problems, among them, hunger, poverty, and gender discrimination. Yet a closer look shows this “miracle” is far from becoming a reality in many developing and emerging states. This seminar follows two goals: 1) to look behind the curtain to discover the challenges inherent in using technology for developmental purposes; and 2) to brainstorm about the opportunities - some as of yet unrealized - that technology creates and make concrete plans for realizing them.
