The onset of the coronavirus has sent a sharp reminder to both governments and citizens in developing countries of the importance of information technology, not just as part of the broader developmental infrastructure, but as an essential tool in the execution of important responsibilities at the levels of communities and families, Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the local technology firm, Starr Computers, has told Stabroek Business.
Speaking shortly after he had joined other past students of Charlestown Secondary School last week in making a contribution of 20 computers to his alma mater, Mohan said that while the advent of COVID-19 was “wholly undesirable and wholly unwelcome,” it had brought into sharp focus the valuable support role that information technology can play “in times of difficulty.”
