Being in the midst of technological advancements while doing Phd, it has become my dream to develop technologies that could help uplift the standards of living of people who fall below the average, especially those who are close to the bottom. This is my first attempt in that direction - to compile applications and technologies developed with a purpose of helping the underprivileged. The focus will be on technologies that have been shown to be helpful for the masses or the ideas that have been generated based on personal experiences (of like minded people) and field visits. This may include making things affordable for underprivileged or developing products that could help them in their profession to make the best use of their efforts. I call it the "
compassionate technology". I will try to put together things that i get to know through personal contacts, experiences and web surfing. The primary objectives will be:
- To spread awareness about existing efforts: To stimulate discussions on how they served their purpose or the ways in which they can be further improved.
- To bring together a community of like minded people who want to get into "Social Entrepreneurship" and to motivate others to join in too!
- To generate new ideas catered towards specific requirements in a region.
If you would like to contribute to this blog or share any such technology that you would like me to post here, please feel free to contact me.
