Africa
In their contribution to the 2nd Annual Conference on World-wide Web Applications (Johannesburg, 2000) Anthony Lelliott, Shirley Pendlebury and Penny Enslin explore the dilemma concerning information and communications technology (ICT) in Africa. First they provide a brief overview of current patterns of access and relative costs. Secondly, they question the prevalent touting of ICT as a means of education and argue that it cannot so serve unless there is already a basic level of education - a condition that, in most of Africa, has not been met.
