L’Internet pour Tous

At Triolet, another Youth Centre has seen the day! This is a laudable initiative by the Ministry of Youth and Sports (the Minister, also a legendary figure in Mauritian Football was elected from No. 5) since there is a lack of such incentive in such a large village. Interestingly we notice a very nice innovation:

Free Internet Access. Come to learn and Enjoy! ICafe Opening Hours: 10:00 – 17:00 Weekdays

Driven by curiosity, I went to pay a visit to the new Internet Cafe (ICafe) and collected Membership forms. We learn that there will be a Youth Officer or Net Coach who will be providing help to users to surf the internet. It is also encouraging for people of all age to come and learn to use the effective way of surfing on the information superhighway.

Concerning this, I had a brief brainstorming of what I think personally should be delivered by the net coach. Here is the draft presentation (still work in progress):

Of course,  suggestions and ideas to better coach surfing the net are welcomed!

    @Ashesh, Carrot and other Trioliens :

    lol, since you have internet access at home, you should not ‘bat bis’ lezotte :P
    Leave the opportunity to others to use this facility.

    btw, how many computers did they made available to the public?

      Hello another “Trioliens”!

      I would not bate bis me, I would rather experience how the Net Coach gonna “largue moi lor internet!” lol

      Currently, the infrastructure is not well esatablished, still in construction process I think. I noticed 3 PCs.

      If the Ministry would had declared this zone a Wi-Fi spot, would had been cool na?
