Hi! I'm presently working on a research paper that is examining the proliferation of communication technologies in the developing world.I am experiencing a couple of impediments to my research: 1. Looking for organizations, academic resources, and people who are in the field. 2. This is more of an internal problem that I am trying to come to terms with. That is, doesn't it almost seem pretentious for people in the developed world to even think about transferring communications technology to the developing world, when some of them don't even have basic skills, or other basic needs?
I would really appreciate some input/feedback and words of wisdom on this topic, as I am seriously giving second thoughts about pursuing this research.
Looking forward to your responses, Frustratingly yours, Zahra.
