When I was trying to create a post for the ICT I had nothing to write about but the result of looking for my inspiration was beyond my expectations. I thought that I now what ICT is, what it means and all notions to it.
But I couldn’t be more wrong.
The first thing was “lets see what google can say about ICT that I don’t know”. When I saw 846,000 results I was stunned. But I was stunned even more when I’ve read Jerzy Nowak’s article about ICT. The one thing in his work I didn’t know is Citizens of Information Society created a Charter for Innovation, Creativity and Access to Knowledge what is nothing less than Charter of Rights on the Information Society.
I didn’t know that the ICT needs to have that kind of charter.
What I find interesting, and what I can fully support and agree with it is education and access to knowledge. They want to improve, enhance, enrich end make more accessible education and knowledge in general.
I think it is a good idea. With this kind of better access to educations, like for example free e-books. In Poland for in most part you have to pay for the e-books. And the price is very much the same as it in bookstores if the book is there at all. Most of public libraries don’t have enough amount of books.
I’m a student and I’m from small city and I know how hard it was to find a good, properly written science book.
But what about authors? They are also citizens of ICT and writing books is their work. Who should pay them for their copyright? Can this problem be solved?
Access to the knowledge and education is important, but we can’t rob anyone’s Intellectual Property “for the sake of access to knowledge”. What do You think?
