[DDN] Steel band in Second Life

[Taran Rampersad]

It was interesting for me to see Steel Band drums in Second Life. It is
a demonstration of culture and ICT, but it also highlights another
aspect of the digital divide which can be too often forgotten -
accessibility for culturally related things. In this example, Trinidad
and Tobago has issues with PayPal, with bandwidth... andbecause of this,
the average 'pan man' from T&T would be a novelty in Second Life.

Food for thought in matters of culture, ICT, as well as the impacts of
technology on culture.
