Young people to help connect regional communities
Source: South Australia. Youth Minister. Media Release
"From February 11, a team of young people from the Riverland will start working with the latest Adelaide Thinker in Residence in Berri on connecting regional communities through information and communication technology. The Thinker, Dr Genevieve Bell, is travelling extensively throughout the State during February and March, as part of her residency in which she is looking at what the State’s digital future should look like. An internationally recognised anthropologist working with US giant, Intel Corporation, Dr. Bell’s research has provided considerable insight into the importance of culture in the adoption and adaptation of technology. Youth Minister, Paul Caica – who is also the Minister for Science and Information Economy - says the young people from the Riverland will be a great source of ideas and insights for Dr. Bell on how technology can best connect and build regional communities."
