[kictanet] Day 9 of 10:-IGF Discussion, Socio-Cultural Issues

[Judy Okite]

Actually I was skeptical about having different languages online....and was
impressed when I read that India is the largest  English speaking
country....then Australia.....at this moment,I thought everyone should be
able to adopt!

But when I looked at it critically I realised, .......In order for us to
continue seeing the growth of the internet....we have to get more people on
it...and it will require changes and some tweeking here and there and
language is a positive move...Lets allow people to be comfortable online...a
language they can easily relate with.

Kind Regards,
