METAVERSE, WEB 3.0 AND WOYCO.part 4

The energy crisis of 1977 led to the formation of national center for appropriate technology in America and appropriated $3m from Capitol Hill to support the movement.It sponsored a handful of demonstration to aid the low and middle income countries,to find way to improve living standard of their people including healthcare and economic welfare.However quite unfortunate that by 1980,NCAT's funding agency was scrapped and website by 2005 was shut down and was no longer funded by U.S.government.Consequently the plight of similar organisations aggravated.For instance, Germany's German Appropriate technology exchange (GATE) and Holland's technology transfer for development (TOOL),were equally scrapped.The myopic study that perceived AT as poor person's technology seen as Inferior technology in terms of revenue, technical transferability and huge impact multiplier effect,only seeks to demystify the significance of poor people empowerment, claiming Insufficient funding, weak institutional support and burden of distance and time in tackling rural poverty.Prejudices pillaged the fortitude of poverty alleviation strategy and hadn't been easier with its replacement to the embarrassment of resilient stardom of mass poverty.
