問題詳情

When Ethan Zuckerman went to Ghana in 1993 as a Fulbright scholar, he immediately tried to get online; he was aUsenet junkie and eager to e-mail his girlfriend (now his wife). But in bustling Accra, he found only one temperamentalnet connection. Subsequently, Zuckerman, who is now twenty-eight, became vice president of a famous dot-comcompany and was soon a millionaire, but he never forgot Ghana’s inadequate communications. In July 1999, he left thedot-com company and in February 2000 co-founded Geekcorps in North Adams, Mass. Geekcorps sends volunteers withinformation technology expertise to developing countries for four-month stints, where they help business—from furniturefactories to radio stations—get online, expand sales, and thus create jobs. One volunteer even helped launch the Ghanaianparliament’s web sites.

And there is no shortage of volunteers: more than 1,100 people are on Geekcorps’swaiting list.
