About
All over SE Asia, people are divided by the Digital Divide. Those that have access to it are a part of the digital generation. Those without easy access are separated by the great digital divide. That side of the digital divide is disproportionately populated by the poor and uneducated. If nothing is done to address the problem, the divide widens and deepens. Those on the other side of that chasm are hampered by:
- Poor Telecommunications infrastructure
- Limited access to quality education opportunities
- Limited access to wealth creation programs
- Lack of knowledge on how to operate PCs
- The few PC's that exist are continually breaking down due to no maintenance or access to PC support.
- Virtually no access to educational via either PC or TV
- No infrastructure providing life-long learning to people
- Limited ability of governments or corporations to distribute their message across the region.
Sat-Ed Systems has the answer to these problems and is addressing it in cities and villages all over Asia. Sat-Ed uses a variety of different business models to reach the maximum number of people possible. From developing self-sustaining learning centres in remote villages to using our technology in purely commercial applications, Sat-Ed is a using their proprietary technology and teaming up with strategic partners to improve the quality of life for people all over Asia and to build a bridge over the digital divide.
The Digital Divide can be solved, today, and provide people in remote and rural areas in Thailand both job creating educational opportunities and self-sustaining educational learning centres. Experience has taught us that simply supplying PC's to remote villages will never solve the problem. Lack of training in PC use, shoddy maintenance and unreliable power supply crashes most PCs in 2 months. There they sit unused and collecting dust doing no one any good at all. Villagers have stopped buying PCs as the see them as a poor investment. With trained staff that problem can be solved for a village and bring back faith in the use of PCs. The vast majority of the population will not be able to use their computers for long, even if internet is available without this technical support. Give people PCs alone are actually a barrier to learning.
Sat-Ed addresses this problem by providing content to both to PCs and TVs in the Sat-Ed "Room for Life." Using our trained staff, able to fix computers as well as instruct on them, the Room for Life becomes the digital heart of the community and, like the heart, pumps digital lifeblood into the surrounding community.
