Extension workers in our recent basic ICT training had a hard time using the mouse. Makes me wonder if we are using the right medium for delivering agricultural information to our, er, clients (farm technicians, agricultural extensionists and farmers).
Of course, there’s always mobile phones and text messaging, but there are technical constraints — you can only squeeze so much info in that small screen. If only we can find a way to connect our clients through that ubiquitous medium in a richer manner. Mobile 2.0, perhaps? In the countryside? We’ll see.
