What a great tool the internet is. I think that it can do so much good. Watching News 24 today about how in Africa they are using WiFi Broadband to teach children at school using old Baked Bean Cans.The idea is that with a conventional WiFi aeriel the signal is sent out in a 360 degree direction, however in Africa there is a lack of masts so they want to direct the signal to another mast linked to a building like a school. When the signal is channelled in just one direction the signal becomes stronger and will travel further.To direct the signal cheaply they fix an old Baked Beans tin on the top of the mast. Now whole villages are able to access the internet, and schools operate lessons with live linkups with other classes, are taught by interacting with a giant TV type screen . They can ask the teacher questions , write on the screen and this is relayed back to the teacher some few hundred miles away. He can teach a number of classes at once . Simply fantastic. For other people on the huge continent they wish for something even more basic - Drinking Water, I want to donate half of the money I raise to Charities that provide fresh drinking water. Keep reading my daily Blog to see how I get on.
