It has become clear that the Third World Cultures, in earlier times strongly matriarchal, have been weakened 4 this respect by the methods of colonial education which are almost 5 directed towards the male.

Hence even Primary Education for girls should be 13 towards the basic needs and necessities and provide answers which are as simple as possible. In rural districts such answers will be different from those 14 in urban areas.

An important consequence of this is the 19 of the desire to question, which, on the one hand, presses for further education and on the other for its 20 application.

The past 40 years have witnessed an extraordinary evolution. From slow expensive machines controlled by punched cards, computers have become low-cost, powerful units taking up no more space than a briefcase. Simultaneously, our world has become interlaced with telephone wires, optic fibers, undersea cables, microwave links, television
channels and satellite communications.
At the crossing of these two developments stands the Internet—a direct result of computer technology intersecting with communication technology. But for many in the world of today's media, this is merely a first landmark in what promises to be a giant upheaval in the way people communicate, relax and work. This is the era of digital convergence.
According to a recent article in Scientific American, convergence is in principle "the union of audio, video and data communications into a single source, received on a single device, delivered by a single connection." Digital technology has already provided a medium for integrating media that until now required distinct channels of communication: we can now send emails using our televisions or text messages over mobile phones. Real-time video can be transmitted over radio channels, while television and radio can be received on Personal Computers.
