At the Heart of the Issues
“The first step towards knowledge is to know that we are ignorant.” -Richard Cecil
Making Informed Decisions
What keeps you up at night? What holds back your business? Which plan best suits the needs of your company? Many leaders have spent years studying and training business and technology, but few can keep up with the rapidly changing business environment and new advances in ICT. This leaves many wondering, “Did I make the right decision?” You will leave second guessing behind you, however, if you acquire as much knowledge as possible before you make decisions. With the myriad of choices today, you need to decide what best suits your needs and your company. Cairo ICT puts you at the forefront of the issues with forum discussions, noted speakers and all of the latest solutions.
Toward an Informed Society
ICT is now a fundamental tool in the classroom for teachers to enrich the experience of students and to allow them to participate in the greater world via the Internet. Now we have applied ICT to every level of the education system, forming the foundation for a knowledge-based society. University students are studying technology in huge numbers because it provides the greatest opportunity for employment upon graduation. Older generations are also joining the fray through lifelong learning programs. Learning ICT is truly a necessity.
But now that we have passed the initial phases of a culture of learning ICT, it is time to set more ambitious goals. At Cairo ICT 2009, we will discuss the baseline numbers of people with ICT knowledge and how we can greatly expand these numbers. We will talk about real targets for a truly ICT ready society and how we will reach these goals. The undeniable importance of technology proves that no part of society remains untouched by ICT, and no one should be left out of the metamorphosis in the world created by ICT. |
