[UA-discuss] Cultural Acceptance

[Dr. Govind]

In general agreement with Roberto and Ram.

If we work towards making the tools and software as per the requirements
of  the community taking their literacy and cultural aspects , the adoption
rate of UA  will be accordingly
faster. Further ,often we try to fix one solution for all ignoring the
community's behaviour in adoption of technology.

Best
Govind
