\nAs the Indian political upheaval shows, Indians are fed up with government inaction and corruption . They want accountability , better education and healthcare, and prosperity. And they want them now.
\n
\nTechnology-led solutions may be the only way for India’s new government to rapidly uplift its population . Large-scale government programmes and social welfare will take too long. Take education as an example. Tens of millions of children receive substandard education or none at all. It will take years to train new teachers and build schools, and an entire generation will be left out. The only practical solution is to roll out digital tutors with the help of NGOs so that communities can uplift themselves.
\n
\nThis might seem like a utopian dream by a professor in Silicon Valley. But it could be a reality. Landlines were once scarce, unreliable and unaffordable. Now, India has amongst the best and cheapest phone connections in the world and a billion cellphones.
\n
Tremendous possibilities are opening up as cellphones evolve into smartphones — which provide internet access and run apps — and tablet computers become as cheap as cellphones. Most of India now has affordable 3G or 4G data connections. This means that India’s masses will soon have access to the same tools and knowledge as the elite of Silicon Valley. They can watch YouTube<\/a> videos, visit websites, download apps, and network with people from all over the world. They can crowdsource solutions to problems and accelerate social change.
\n
\nTo transform its education system, Uruguay started an ambitious project in 2008 to give a laptop to every child. According to Miguel Brechner, who heads this programme, it has turned a privilege — the internet and a computer — into a right. It has enabled every child to get a basic education — even in regions where teachers are in scarce supply. Children in Uruguay are writing computer code and creating apps. This, and more, could happen in India.
\n
India’s Aakash project had a rocky start, but led to the production of inexpensive tablets now being used by children in Silicon Valley. American children love the India-made tablets. These tablets with the capabilities of the original iPad can be produced in high volumes in India for less than Rs 3,000, according to Datawind<\/a>, maker of the original Aakash tablets. Prices will continue to fall, and capabilities will increase. There are thousands of apps available today that, running on these tablets, can teach subjects such as history, geography, music, maths, and science. The digital tutor of the future can provide equally good education to all kids — rich and poor.
\n
\nIndia’s populace can also help rein in corruption. To facilitate the recording and reporting of corruption, there need to be government-supported , but privately managed, websites such as Ipaidabribe. com as well as smartphone apps. E-governance needs to be implemented at both national and state level. All government tenders and procurement, budget reporting, and status monitoring need to be transparent, the data being made immediately available to the public via the Internet. Social welfare should be distributed directly to recipients via their Aadhar numbers using secure systems. Companies such as Kolkata-based Quantta use sophisticated data analytics to find patterns and trends in commercial data. Their technologies can be adapted to monitor public data and independently report on corruption and abuse. The key is to automate procurement processes, cutting out the middlemen who allow corruption to thrive; reduce bureaucracy; and eliminate the information gap.
\n
\nAdvancing technologies can also dramatically improve healthcare. The leading causes of disease in India are water-borne viruses. A technology from Chile could help solve this problem. The Advanced Innovation Center has developed a system that converts water into a plasma state and eliminates microbiological content. It has been tested by the leading US authority, NSF International, and it exceeded NSF’s highest standards by killing 100% of all bacteria and viruses. Village-sized units of this plasmabased water-sanitization technology — which consume less energy than a hairdryer — will cost around $500 when mass produced. This technology is being rolled out in South America later this year, and could also be brought to India.
\n
\nAt the most basic level, what is lacking in India is knowledge of disease prevention and cure. Using smartphones or tablets, anyone can read about the latest medical advances, visit online health-discussion forums, and learn from others who have the same symptoms. Villagers in remote parts of India can seek help from doctors anywhere in the world.
\n
\nTechnology has levelled the playing field, and the same advances that are propelling American innovation are available to India. The new government has to give priority to technology infrastructure so that it can reinvent India.

    数字方向:科技对新政府的宣言

    固定电话曾经是稀缺的、不可靠和负担不起。现在,印度在世界上最好的和最便宜的电话连接和十亿手机。

    印度政治动荡表明,印度人厌倦了政府的不作为和腐败。他们想要问责,更好的教育和医疗,和繁荣。现在他们想要他们。

    技术主导的解决方案可能是唯一为印度新政府迅速提升人口。大规模的政府项目和社会福利需要太长时间。以教育为例。数以百万计的孩子接受不合格的教育或没有。这将需要数年时间来培训新教师和修建学校,整整一代将被排除在外。唯一可行的解决办法是推出数字导师非政府组织的帮助下,社区可以提升自己。

    这可能看起来像一个教授在硅谷的乌托邦式的梦想。但它可能是一个现实。固定电话曾经是稀缺的、不可靠和负担不起。现在,印度在世界上最好的和最便宜的电话连接和十亿手机。

    巨大的可能性是开放手机演变成智能手机——提供互联网接入和运行应用程序和平板电脑会像手机一样便宜。印度现在的大部分负担得起的3 g或4 g的数据连接。这意味着印度的群众将很快获得相同的工具和知识精英的硅谷。他们可以看YouTube视频,请访问网站,下载应用程序,和网络与来自世界各地的人。他们可以外包解决方案问题,加快社会变革。

    将其教育系统,乌拉圭在2008年开始一项雄心勃勃的计划给每个孩子一台笔记本电脑。根据Miguel Brechner负责这个项目,它已经变成了一种特权——互联网和电脑——正确的。它使每个孩子得到一个地区的基础教育,甚至老师都供应短缺。孩子在乌拉圭编写计算机代码和创建应用程序。和更多的,这可能发生在印度。

    印度将本项目有一个岩石的开端,但导致了生产的廉价平板电脑现在被孩子们在硅谷。美国儿童爱India-made平板电脑。这些平板电脑iPad与原有的功能可以在大量生产在印度不到3000卢比,据Datawind的原始制造商将平板电脑。价格将继续下跌,和能力将会增加。今天有成千上万的应用程序可用,这些平板电脑上运行,可以教科目,如历史,地理,音乐,数学,科学。未来的数字导师可以为所有的孩子提供同样好的教育,富人和穷人。

    印度的民众也可以帮助遏制腐败。促进腐败的记录和报告,需要政府支持,但私人管理,Ipaidabribe等网站。com以及智能手机应用程序。电子政务需要国家和国家层面上实现。所有政府招标和采购、预算报告和状态监测需要透明的,立即的数据通过互联网向公众开放。社会福利应该直接分发到收件人通过Aadhar数字使用安全的系统。等公司Kolkata-based Quantta使用复杂的数据分析来找到商业模式和趋势数据。他们的技术可以适应独立监控公共数据和报告腐败和滥用。关键是要采购流程自动化,减少了中间商的环节允许腐败茁壮成长;减少官僚主义; and eliminate the information gap.

    发展的技术也能极大地改善医疗保健。印度是水源性疾病病毒的主要原因。技术从智利可以帮助解决这个问题。先进的创新中心已经开发出一种系统,将水转化为等离子体状态和消除微生物内容。测试由美国主要机关,NSF国际,它超出了NSF的最高标准通过杀死100%的细菌和病毒。Village-sized单位这plasmabased water-sanitization技术——比吹风机消耗更少的能量——大规模生产时将花费大约500美元。这种技术是在南美洲今年晚些时候推出,,也可以带到印度。

    在最基本的层面上,缺乏在印度是疾病预防和治疗的知识。使用智能手机或平板电脑,任何人都可以读到最新的医学进步,访问在线health-discussion论坛,学习的人有相同的症状。在印度偏远地区的村民可以从医生在世界任何地方寻求帮助。

    技术已经夷为平地,同样的进步是美国创新可以推动印度。新政府必须优先考虑技术基础设施,以便它可以重塑印度。
