"The "digital divide": In
future there will be a widening gap between those with
skills in
new technological age and
"not so well off", those "poor souls", who have not put in
effort to update their computer and technological skills. It is a matter of using our resources wisely in this "digital age."
Here in NZ I believe, we need to be driven far more by knowledge, technology, innovation and renovation. The first step is transforming
innovative spirit that allows we "Kiwis" (New Zealanders) to turn no.8 wire into innumerable useful tools around
farm, into a commercial operation. It's simply a matter of "sharpening
pencil" of New Zealand's focus on e-commerce. Refocussing existing economies and enhancing existing products (traditional, such as agriculture and horticulture) through adding value via
world wide web.
USE Information Technology with all
amazing powers of
world wide web . With
web and e-mail, we must always keep technology in perspective - by using it for 'ease of communication at
click of a mouse', to make our lives easier and market products and services around
globe efficiently and cheaply in
early days of this "New Age of Wisdom"!
Businesses MUST "get with
times" and respond by embracing
enormous international opportunities offered by
Internet. It's either ADAPT or DIE ("a slow lingering death"). Make technology WORK FOR YOU -: for your (and your family's good, your business and especially your country.
