Project "VolksPC"

[Agonized]

hello,

I am sure that there is something that we have to learn from history. Just few examples Hitler in 30s collects money from people to launch a car manufacturing plant with the name Volkswagen (famous Juk is its concept). In the 1918 Lenin conducts kollectivization to realize his famous formula " + Elektrifikaciya vsey strani". In 30s Stalin start industrialization (also collecting people's money).

So what does it tell us? The world is changing to become high-tech rather than industrial society, Uzbeks still trying to build more factories (especially in textile with our cheap labor). People have their savings under pillows and do not trust banks/government. Logical conclusion Project VolksPC

Project VolksPC
Financed by the people's money for peoples benefit. Concept "+Internetizaciya vsey strani", Free internet services and installment financiang of PC purchases. PC Donation by the project to schools and libraries. Training of Internet leaders nesti ide v massi. Government support of Internet culture, no limitations on Internet companies operations (no taxes, no controls, no SNB on-line).

Example
A simple worker of state organization buys PC (486 basic) from project representative (Halk banki) and pays $5 a month for 40 months ($200 for 486 not much :)). Government cuts expenses on militia and state functions and sponsors ISPs.

Profits
Free flow of information. Leapfroging into future information society without 200 years of development. Revenue flow from "off-shore" programming offices in Uzbekistan (move Indian soft development companies to Tashkent). As information society advances more and more programmers it needs, we will become the nation that supplys this good)

Any comments?

If you want people to believe in your ideas, you should at least try to be consistent :) I failed to find a smooth flow of thoughts in your statement, everything seems to be bundled up together. Not that I don't like the idea, it is all good, yet it lacks convincing points to it. And without those, it just remains a Spanish castle :)

Also, the software industry is very volatile, and no economy will last long enough on it alone, without back-up well-developed heavy industries. Again, remember all those hackers, rendering all the security efforts of software giants futile, and driving down the prices drastically.

Your idea is very much like communism everybody likes the theory, but it will not be implemented in practice, for it is too ideal.

Cheers, though :) :)

I like the idea. I even think that it is
possible to implement. There is only one
brick wall on the way it is the willingness
of authorities to keep people away from
uncencored information. That was the main
reason for shutting down internet in
Uzbekistan and I am afraid it will be the
main reason why this idea becomes difficult
to implement.


delf.

That's very very interesting :D

I liked your idea, but anyway we have to have our heavy industry. It is a pillar institution in any developed society.
