Computers require regular maintenance every 3-6 months to clean hardware and address problems. Dust, hair, and spilled liquids should be cleaned from keyboards and mice. Inkjet printers may need their print heads cleaned through a self-cleaning mode when ink starts to clog. Laser printers should be cleaned when print quality deteriorates or when changing toner cartridges. Hardware components like RAM, hard drives, and other parts may need to be replaced if damaged over time.

The document discusses STEM education and provides examples of STEM activities. It defines STEM as Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics and explains that STEM education takes an interdisciplinary approach through real-world projects. Two example activities are described: a "Sink or Float" science experiment and a helmet design engineering challenge. Contact information is provided for additional STEM resources.
This document discusses e-governance and its implementation. It defines e-governance as the application of information and communication technologies to the processes of government to bring about simple, moral, accountable and transparent governance. The document outlines the components and types of interactions in e-governance. It discusses examples of e-governance initiatives in India and issues around implementing e-governance. It also addresses the success and failure of e-government projects and the future of e-governance, including the importance of citizen participation through technologies like social media.
The potential of e-Commerce and e-Trade is no longer a matter of debate. Despite the initial hype and subsequent dot-com crash, it has moved into the realm of a noteworthy reality. Since e-Commerce already affects the economic relations between and within countries and since it will continue to do so more and more, e-Commerce has to be considered as a matter of key policy consideration. As such, developing countries must not only appreciate and address its potential for industrial and trade growth, but also consider it as a means of survival in this new world of Internet-based business and trade.
As in the real world, the digital economy has also thrown up its share of shifting buzzwords. From ‘e-Commerce’ and ‘dot.com’ at the turn of the century, the last couple of years have thrown up ‘ICT’ as the all encompassing technology and for business the newest buzz is undoubtedly ‘outsourcing’. Rarely has a single trend impacted global business and industry these last few years as much as outsourcing or ‘off-shoring’ as it is referred to in the US. Coming along with the compulsions of globalisation mandated by the WTO agreements it has helped develop new markets, improved bottom lines, expanded the range of goods and services and pulled the planet together into a tighter-knit community. This opportunity of outsourcing from the perspective of developing economies is ICT services export.
Electronic Commerce: Issues of Policy and Strategy for IndiaAlwyn Didar Singh
Electronic commerce has been identified as one of the key areas for policy research among the WTO-related issues in the area of Services. Despite the much talked about dotcom crash, e-commerce continues to be an extremely important development and vehicle for trade. Economies and enterprises across the globe are integrating their systems with this digital reality. For international trade, the use and benefits of Information Technology (IT) are obvious and growing.
Regional E-Trade Report for the Caribbean CommunityAlwyn Didar Singh
a unique exercise in re-interpretation, adaptation and modification that brings together an interesting collaborative effort of two international agencies for a common cause – the e-Trade capacity building for the CARICOM
A Rainbow Technology for a Rainbow People: E-Business Capacity Development fo...Alwyn Didar Singh
Why does the CARICOM need capacity development in E-Business?
As e-Commerce growth becomes more and more significant, the CARICOM countries will need not just to understand, but in fact to actively engage in it. Not only for realizing it’s potential of growth for their trade and industry but also as a means of survival in the new world of e-Commerce-based trade and business. Their ability to do so will depend on several factors, such as their infrastructure, both physical (the telecommunication network), as well as the financial and legal framework, including the business and trade environment conducive to e-Business. It will also depend on the availability and price of hardware (computers, routers, switches etc.) and software, as well as the human resource and education standards of the country.
As in the case of several developing countries, these essential ‘factors of eproduction’, so to speak are not necessarily in place or are in limited supply. In order to take active part in the new economy as well as be prepared for the adaptation and use of e-Business for old economy transactions especially for international trade and commerce, these countries and their enterprises need to come up to speed and become e-enabled. Section I of this report outlines the objectives, methodology and rationale for the study and also places in perspective the importance of e-Business for developing countries such as those of the Caribbean. The CARICOM member states also need to prepare for discussions on e-Commerce in the international arena, especially the WTO and FTAA. They need to understand, and assess carefully from their perspective, the pros and cons of the different proposals and issues in this connection that could emerge at these forums. They will thus need to appreciate the possible impact of this new phenomenon on their economies and work out appropriate strategies and responses to it. This section also summarizes these issues.
In order therefore to develop an e-Business capacity development strategy, this CFTC Mission, was so designed as to first carry out a diagnostic analysis to assess how e-Ready the CARICOM member states are and then make recommendations towards a possible blueprint for the future.
India’s success in the digital economy - Some lessons for the SouthAlwyn Didar Singh
As a symbol of globalisation and in many ways its leading feature, e-commerce also represents one of its distinguishing characteristics, i.e. where the extension of the international division of labour goes beyond international trade to geographic enclaves in different stages of the production chain6. The development of the software industry in India, and especially its initial concentration in Bangalore, represents this very unique feature of the new digital economy. It illustrates the impact of global value adding networks and supply chains as well as local development and growth – now beginning to occur at multiple levels
