​Google's driving all over Bangladesh to teach students about the internet

[Sharif]

 

So google is heading to bangladesh to promote the potential of the internet,an educational program aimed at teaching key digital skills to more than half a million students

also these students will have access to tutors and the students involved in the project will be able to get hands-on with a number of internet-connected Android devices. Google tells us that the hardware will be entry-level devices from Symphony, like the $70 Xplorer W65i. There’s also a Google+ community for the project, where students can exchange ideas, and access more information.

 

This is true even if they have any long term evil plans but the advantages still out grows any behind the scene plans,so i quote

Equipped with the right training, the youth can be the cornerstone for creating a connected, digital Bangladesh,” said James McClure from the Google Asia Pacific 

 

Also another quote i had to add 

Living in Southeast Asia, I’ve witnessed first-hand how the internet can make big and also small-yet-impactful changes to people’s daily lives. Whether that’s helping connect them with friends, family or experts, giving them better access to information and news, or just providing a medium for entertainment — many people in emerging markets are simply just unaware of what’s possible. Throwing a smartphone or computer at them isn’t always the best approach, since the internet can be daunting, so a tutor-led approach is a great start.

It’s  true that the more people who use the internet or carry mobile phones is good for Google’s business — but, even still, initiatives like this are resource and time-intensive, and Google deserves credit for getting out there and trying to make a difference.

 

 

What i think about this as a fellow bangladeshi (though i hardly know anything about it)  

This is definitely great and improvement,bangladesh is both way back on the digital side and the internet side,this will definitely be a push to a way people think/know about the internet
