“game changing” technologies cannot do their magic if the players and the playing fields remain the same. There is usually no shortcut to building the government, educational, cultural and economic structures needed to improve people’s lives. A $40 tablet that was supposed to revolutionize education has not been getting the government orders it expected. The national networks of Internet kiosks that were supposed to empower farmers have largely shut down. The $2,000 Tata Nano minicar that was supposed to allow millions of people upgrade from the dangerous family motorcycle was not popular and anti-rape apps which were supposed to use mapping and automatic SMS to protect women were never connected to the country’s police force.
