In the territories India needs an internet cafe on every block like the STD/Telephone revolution of the 80s! What would be really cool is if there were "Woman Only" internet cafes? Like woman's cars on the trains?
I found you through tsenft, good stuff.. carry on ;>
women only internet cafes, hmm.. now thats an idea! are you suggesting the idea because it would be more safe for women or more encouraging for women to become familiar and use technology more regularly?
I think both,"that it may be more encouraging for women to become familiar and use technology more regularly", and woman would feel less intimidated if the space were 'woman only'. I was just in India for a month (Madhya and Uttar Pradesh), and in the smaller cities I never saw woman in internet cafes. In the cities however young woman were often at internet cafes. I actually just thought about the 'woman only' internet cafe when I read your post. The idea sounds interesting I think. ;> BTW The kids at internet cafes were really into AIM or Yahoo chat and video chat when available.
