Billions of dollars are being spent nationally and globally on
providing computing access to digitally disadvantaged groups and
cultures with an expectation that computers and the Internet can
lead to higher socio-economic mobility. This ethnographic study of
social computing in the Central Himalayas, India, investigates
alternative social practices with new technologies and media
amongst a population that is for the most part undocumented. In
doing so, this book offers fresh and critical perspectives in areas
of contemporary debate: informal learning with computers,
cyberleisure, gender access and empowerment, digital
intermediaries, and glocalization of information and media.
