The International Telecom Union’s BYND2015 Global Youth Summit has started with the distribution of UbiSlate7Ci tablet computers to youth delegates in order to help inspire them to think about the power of computing and internet access to solve global problems.
HamadounTouré, ITU Secretary-General, stated, "The BYND2015 Summit is a showcase of the power of technology to connect and empower people and to bring them together around a common cause to collaborate and create solutions for their future.”
One of the Summit’s focusses is on how ICT can positively affect the role of developments in Education, Healthcare and helping the environment, and delegates have been asked to focus on how this can be achieved globally.
We are excited to see the low-cost computing and internet access revolution we helped start in India with the Aakash tablets, spreading globally and empowering the youth to make changes for the better, said Suneet Singh Tuli, President & CEO, DataWind.
The tablets will now follow their new owners back home to help spark further dreams of what can be done when ICT breaks down the price barrier.
