I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry about this one - it seems an remote tribe in Papua New Guinea are about to get digital cameras and a photo printer! Sounds a little like colonial missionaries imposing jackets, ties and english upon natives in the Congo a few years back to me....
'The isolated Huli Wigmen of Papua New Guinea don't know it yet, but they are about to land in the digital world.
Or is the digital world about to land on them?
Either way, it's coming by way of an expedition with Silicon Valley ties that will soon arrive in their village.
The excursion is the brainchild of Richard Bangs, a Seattle adventurer and travel promoter, who persuaded Hewlett-Packard to provide digital cameras and a printer for the trip.
And so, HW, meet HP.
No, Bangs won't ask the Huli to invent. Rather, he'll ask them to take pictures of what they consider to be beautiful. His crew will do the same. The work will be posted on MSNBC.com along with a travelogue.
There is some lofty talk here. HP and Bangs say the seven-member expedition will promote understanding between cultures. It will make the world smaller.
HP says the expedition could lead to economic opportunities for the Huli. It's one way the company is bridging the gap between high-tech and no-tech cultures.
All that and just in time for Christmas, too....'
