Facebook has recently decided to up their efforts and contribute positively towards the society through the medium of technology. The internet penetration in the world is mostly concentrated in the developed countries and those who are in developing phase such as India. It seems that the world is connected through the internet but the truth is that not all are able to experience the benefits of Internet .
Facebook are working in hand with Internet.org to fix this. Offering users of the Tig telephone network free access to basic online services including weather, Wikipedia, Facebook, and government services. The service is already available in Kenya, Tanzania and Zambia. Facebook is to make the world more open and connected.
According to a report people at Facebook think that there are two primary barriers to people using the Internet. Internet.org is trying to solve is both affordability and awareness. Trying to give a small set of basic services that are going to improve people’s lives. We believe by people having their first experience on the Internet, they will start to understand the value of the Internet; they’ll pay for access to the Internet and hopefully improve their lives.
This seems like the best efforts a company can take towards providing good inputs for creating a better place in the world for people. Education sector , Medical sector all can benefit form such efforts. Focused and well thought out strategy followed by good execution can surely help make a difference.
