I am sure that we will hear a lot about broadband triple play technology in the coming days. Divinet, C-DAC and Maharashtra Knowledge Corporation Ltd have developed this technology and CSIR has provided financial assistance. Dr Vijay Bhatkar is also related to this technology. He created India’s first super computer and he is a legend in Indian IT industry. So, you can guess that something big is coming up.
“Although India is acknowledged as a leader in information technology, only a very small minority is computer literate and as many as 40 crore (400 million) people out of over a billion (100 crore) do not know how to read and write, he said.
"However, broadband triple play technology is all set to change that. You can learn about the basic applicability of computer and subsequently its advance use through this technology," he said.
Besides, the computer would teach one in his local language and not only subjects relating to information technology but even the basic courses such as mathematics, science, English, et cetera, the noted computer scientist said.
"The computer would turn into a teacher. At least 97 per cent of the population, who do not know English, would too be at leisure to learn anything of their choice. That's what the broadband triple play interactive technology is waiting to do," he said.”
Looks like a mini revolution. I hope that this project will really work for the ordinary people in India. India really needs to educate its people and this is only way India can sustain its economic growth.
