Hope in Information Technology for Humanity’s Improvement!
Wednesday, November 29th, 2006
I was invited to have short session with teenagers attending UN Forum on Our Common Humanity in the Information Age.
This forum will gather top-level speakers, including Nobel laureates and some of the leading thinkers and innovators of our time. They will focus on the values that unite our common humanity and how these values may be expressed globally through the Millennium Development Goals, empowered by the new and rapidly developing information and communication technologies.

We’ll be holding a workshop for teens, geared toward raising awareness of the Millennium Development Goals via fun activities like creating a 30-second TV spot, storyboarding an online game, and making a skit or a song.
