[Irtalk] TRIBUTE: OpenCampus - Libopedia

[Hilton Gibson]

Nevertheless, one gulf will not be easily bridged - that is the division
between the information rich and the information poor. Justice and equity
demand that we find ways of overcoming it. If more than half the world is
denied access to the means of communication, the people of developing
countries will not be fully part of the modern world. For in the 21st
century, the capacity to communicate will almost certainly be a key human
right.
Eliminating the distinction between information rich and information poor
countries is also critical to eliminating economic and other inequalities
between North and South, and to improving the quality of life of all
humanity.
