Questions: Week 9

I don’t know who will be our guest speaker, but I have some questions in general.

1) In regards to digital business and what companies like Microsoft, Google, Yahoo etc. will do to ensure accesibility to internet for underdeveloped countries? or perhaps the US government?

2) Last April, an executive from Google visit the country of Chile and he mentioned that even though, Chile was a rich country, the universities there, where not preparing students (professionals) for the digital business demand.  What do professionals and students here in United States need to do to keep up with technology and its business demands?

3) Few days ago Wikipedia anounce that a search engine, built and mantained by peers/volunteers will be launched and will be able to compete with companies like Google.  As peer production continues to increase, how companies like Google or Microsoft need or will do prevent that one day digital content be free of cost?
