Wherever you live, there is a difference between owning internet technology and using internet technology. This point is made very well by Tayo Solgabade, the blogger for whom this post has been named, Check out his post “The Need to Use PC and Internet Technology More Productively in African Societies” for more information – the basic point he makes is that people love to own net technology for its own sake (as they would a fast car or a big house) rather than for its actual potential.
Here in the UK (and the USA) we have access to a whole new generation of net technology. The revolutionary net services that were started by Comcast Xfinity and AT&T Uverse allow us to connect to the web in multiple ways from a single line or signal. We can deliver work, ideas and personal thoughts across time zones to users from all parts of the world, all of whom are using different kinds of communications equipment.
Within our own country’s boundaries, we can even fuse the kinds of communications equipment we use to make our whole net experience more productive. This is the same both for home and business users – and increasingly for home/business users, whose consumption of packages like the Comcast Xfinity connection is explicitly so they can run a household where work and pleasure take up equal parts of the bandwidth.
Bandwidth, of course, is crucial to the whole experience one has of the net – and to the use one makes of it. Speed is essential for opening up the work and play possibilities of the net in a way that allows us to use the technology more productively. And this is where the Comcast Xfinity connection and its siblings comes into effect.
New generation high speed internet connections offer a real prospect of using the net for life, rather than in rationed portions. With a Comcast connection, or an AT&T connection or a Verizon or Time Warner connection, net users can fuel a whole household of use: from learning, to play, to entertainment, to the provision and collection of information necessary for making money (work, by a more simple term – documents and files and secure payment information and whatever else it is you need to earn your daily bread). And it is all done through a simple cable (or a satellite signal).
As with all new technology, we have to be careful not to confuse productivity with overuse. Mr Solgabade’s point, in his original article, is that there’s a huge difference between buying a computer to show you are wealthy enough to do so, and buying one to use it to widen your horizons. The same is true of technology like the Comcast Xfinity connection. Buy it because you can and there’s a real danger that your family will “overeat” on digital junk food, consuming hours of endless pointless nothing in the name of show.
Buy it, on the other hand, because you can see the opportunities for streamlining your family’s use of the net into a much more interactive and controlled way, and you will not only get more from your time online but you will free up extra time offline to enjoy the real world.
