After reading this article it provided me with some insight as to what the World Summit Awards (WSA) was. They were handed out by the European International Telecommunications Union and its Global Forum 2007 conference held in Venice. “Since 2002 the International Telecommunications Union has been recognizing technology projects across the globe that overcomes the “digital divide” to produce a “digital dividend” (Gillette).
I then decided to further my research and find out more on the World Summit Awards. Apparently WSA is a global initiative to select and promote the world’s best e-Content. This was started in 2003 and is held every 2 years. It is an invitation project and a global hub for everyone who sees the importance in e-Content creation. There are 168 countries involved today. To me, it would have been an honor to go to this conference in Venice.
Network World is the leader in Network Knowledge and is the leading provider of news, analysis, reviews, events, and education on information technology. This is why Dr. Gillette wrote an article on the Global Forum 2007 conference. I am very happy that Dr. Gillette also introduced this website to us, because it is a wonderful tool to use for our research in information technology. I wish I knew about this earlier, it would have come in handy when finding some web 2.0 technology.
