  • thanks to the on­go­ing in­for­ma­tion and com­mu­ni­ca­tions tech­nol­ogy (ICT) rev­o­lu­tion
  • In the past two years, every­thing has changed – for the bet­ter. At eight on Tues­day morn­ings, we turn on a com­puter at Co­lum­bia Uni­ver­sity and join in a “global class­room” with 20 other cam­puses around the world. A pro­fes­sor or a de­vel­op­ment ex­pert some­where gives a talk, and many hun­dreds of stu­dents lis­ten in through video­con­fer­enc­ing.
  • Many uni­ver­si­ties are putting their classes on­line for free, so that any­one in the world can learn physics, math, or eco­nom­ics from world-class fac­ulty.
  • At Stan­ford Uni­ver­sity this fall, two com­puter-sci­ence pro­fes­sors put their courses on­line for stu­dents any­where in the world; now they have an en­roll­ment of 58,000.
  • Now in­for­ma­tion tech­nol­ogy is com­ing to the res­cue. In­no­v­a­tive com­pa­nies like Care­More in Cal­i­for­nia are using ICT to keep their clien­tele healthy and out of the hos­pi­tal. For ex­am­ple, when Care­More’s pa­tients step on the scale at home each day, their weight is au­to­mat­i­cally trans­mit­ted to the health-care unit. If there is a dan­ger­ous weight swing, which could be caused by con­ges­tive heart fail­ure, the clinic brings the pa­tient in for a quick ex­am­i­na­tion, thereby head­ing off a po­ten­tially dev­as­tat­ing cri­sis.
