During the current ITU Telecom WORLD #TCW09, Nelson Mandela stated that ICTs are the single most powerful tool we have for human progress.

We couldn’t agree more, and, in fact, this goes along with our philosophy “Evolve to Help”

What could be done in the world couldn’t have been without ICTs, starting from the smallest calculator, to the biggest supercomputer, passing by the Internet and all the services around it.

In an earlier statement, the ITU Secretary General Dr Hamadoun Touré said that  “One can easily guess that the next world war will be in cyberspace, and we have to avoid that.” So it is quite a dilemma, how can we promote ICTs for good, progress and development while knowing it’s consequences? “Every citizen on this planet is a potential superpower and, it will be unfortunate if we have to fight the next fight in the cyber space” Touré said.

It is quite sure at the end that ICTs are a bless, but how will it doom us if we don’t take appropriate measures? This is a call to push ICTs further and make it more affordable and secure.

If we are to evolve, we are to help not destroy.
