Where are the Poverty Hacks?
January 19th, 2008Highly recommended read at the O’Reilly Radar blog on technocratic elitism and the failure of the privileged to care for those marginalized by our economy and society.
We spend a lot of time thinking up new ways to talk to each other and connect with one another, but we don’t spend much time on thinking up new ways (maybe we don’t need “new ways”) to connect with people who are underprivileged.
Also, great article from the Economist on the philanthropy of ICQ founder Yossi Vardi.
