3. To the reader This presentation was prepared to participate in the Design Competition of Imagine Cup 2009. According to round 1 guide, this presentation depicts a design solution idea in a Microsoft Power Point presentation less than 25 MB in size. The slides are organized linearly and numbered accordingly. There is no hidden content other than slides notes. Also, there are no links to jump to different sections of the presentation to avoid confusions. Animations and automatic transitions were not used to allow self-paced review. Notes were used extensively when needed so a printed copy of the notes pages would be of help while reviewing. Best regards, Leonel Morales Díaz Content is linear Print the notes pages

Notes de l'éditeur
A Partially On-line Approach The digital divide is like a huge gap that opens between on-line people and not-on-line people. This gap prevents opportunities from reaching those who could benefit from them and in the process impact positively in their own communities. Surprisingly there is a group of technologies, most of them already in place, known to their intended users, and already working for them, that could be complemented to provide the Internet benefits to below poverty line people. This presentation depicts our idea and design about those technologies.
