Quadir says, “You don’t make money on the poor, but with the poor.”

…Throughout his talk, Quadir reiterated: “To raise productivity (and wealth), raise connectivity. It’s that simple.”

Jaron Lanier suggests that connectivity might be one of the criteria we should use to evaluate whether a technology is desirable or not. We should ask ourselves, Jaron says, whether this technology increases connection among people, places and things, or decreases connections.

Those technology that up connectivity will more likely do good. So far I have not thought of any counter examples.
