Reflection of the Day

We all arrived at that time and day in our lives in an age of internet, where in cyberspace is no more meant only for the scientists, technocrats, software engineers or techno geeks. The following quote is in the context of what positive big difference the extra computing power can bring in our lives.

Poor people don't create poverty. The more we can use the Internet and the power of entrepreneurship to connect villagers to the rest of the world -- the more we can eliminate their sense of isolation -- the sooner they'll be able to work themselves out of poverty.

-Muhammad Yunus

Muhammad Yunus is Founder and MD, Grameen Bank, http://www.grameen-info.org/ Dhaka, Bangladesh. He pioneered in business models that combine economic growth with social justice.
