520 |a Imaging and assessing mobile technology for development (M4D) means understanding the use of appropriate technologies and services, and how they directly or indirectly address socio-economic challenges. This book adopts various perspectives to identify the obstacles to affordable digital technologies in order to enable, enhance, and effect development. The book plays on the tension between success reports and optimistic projections, on one hand, and empirical evidence of technological belly splash, on the other hand. The areas covered include infusion of service education in computing education, the Rwandan establishment of African Centers of Excellence to promote the development of appropriate technology, the metaverse’s realization in a mobile network-enabled “metaversity” and difficulties detected when evaluating digitization of distance learning, students’ security awareness, dissemination of agricultural information and mobile payment. The decolonization of community-based media and attempts to step outside the mobile network and Internet are also covered.
