At the third step

In this world of globalization and it revolution a nation a nation proper access to information communication technology information communication technology is a must for national development and it is the prerequisite of development for a country like ours Bangladesh because ict can help us in many ways. Having a good pool of smart programmers and a  large engineering  population in Bangladesh there is a definite potential for Bangladesh to make some headway in the global  ites market which is dominated by India at this time. But it is a long way to go before Bangladesh can make a substantial inroad in that market. The most potential market segments are in data processing medical transcription animation call center business processing and software development. If Bangladesh can complete successfully we may have a good deal of opportunities to earn huge remittance by employing a section of our unemployed or under employed population. The use of ict may provide our rural poor population with quality health care services. It will make them able to get proper treatment through telemedicine. Suppose there is a simple telemedicine center in bhola with a computer and high resolution scanner connected to a telemedicine center in Dhaka. A pool of physicians highly skilled in interpreting neonatal abdominal seams receive the scan taken of a pregnant woman from bhola in real time and instruct the local physician to deliver the baby immediately by surgery. This distant consulting through telemedicine network facility saves the life of the baby and the mother. By using ict we can design a number of domestic services which will significantly enhance productivity and efficiency.
