| > don't hide in Spanish. lol; yes, I'm hiding when I'm saying (a) you are using threading wrong (b) my personal experience is statically insignificant (c) I'm trying to have a debate while you have not presented a single argument. > Stats? 72% of the Homes of Buenos Aires have Internet access. Of those, 88% with broadband access. > Oh, I forgot: 93% of < 30 year olds access social media at least once a week in Buenos Aires. Is that Buenos Aires City, or Buenos Aires City and Surrounds, or Buenos Aires Province, or Buenos Aires City and Province? 72% is the average, how is it distribute? we are talking about income inequality here, not about internet access. Even in the most optimistic case where it is evenly distributed, what are you trying to prove? My criticism was that Partido de la Red got a lot better results on wealthier areas, and I was wondering how do you justify. Saying that poor people also have internet actually makes your case worse, it means they actively decided that your project does not represent them. A better argument would have been that access is getting there but they don't have it yet. |
You've said "personal experience is statically insignificant"
I agree, that's why I replied 93% of under 30 year olds in Buenos Aires access social media at least once a week.
I mentioned my personal experience because it was obvious how many of these kids access the internet. You see that 93% stat everywhere if you actually cared and waled the streets of the city.
These attacks where the most common ones we had during the campaign. So let me give you an update: the largest organisation that implemented DemocracyOS is a political party from Kenya. Over there 25% of the GDP is already transacted through mobile devices.
I traveled a lot around the world, specially Latin America. And I did notice that civic adoption of technology is way stronger in developing nations that are struggling than in developed ones. Venezuela is an impressive case if you ever get to see what's going on ever there.
So no, I don't bullshit. I've been working on this for many years now.
