A digital divide: Kiswahili holds the key

Abstract

With today's increased use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT), the world has been turned into a global village courtesy of the easy and fast means of communication over vast geographical distances (Katembo 2005). However, not all the regions in the world are included in the ‘global village'. Most developing countries especially in Africa are yet to make a mark in the ICT domain. Due to this fact there exists a digital divide between the developed and the developing nations of the world. Journal of Language, Technology and Entrepreneurship in Africa Vol. 1 (1) 2007 pp. 133-143
