The world has trim down in the direction of a global
village. It is no more now distinct by countries as well as continents. Community
is connected transversely the globe through the Internet and World Wide Web. This
has bridge the digital divide among rich and poor people who can access the
internet resources.
On the Internet, physical distance is even less of a
encumbrance where as the real-time communicative activities of people has a
little amount of distance. Therefore the social bubbles are greatly developed
by the directness of the web. Also has provided the facility to search for
online communities, people and interact with others who share the same
interests and feelings.
This technology further promotes the idea of a multinational
and unified global community. The concept of “e-village” in Sri Lanka Program demonstrates
the effective contribution of an IT infrastructure in the speed up
socio-economic development. Provide increased opportunities for growth and a
better quality of life for citizens in rural communities, particularly the
youth, by using ICT as a tool and enabler for development.
Village with limited access to resources and few
opportunities for its youth benefited greatly when ICT was introduced. Through
dedicated populace the village youth were empowered with the knowledge and
skills needed to access the means for a better quality life. ICTA reproduced
this successful model in several villages across the country.
