   UN ITU Telecom World 2011 — Open International Innovation Competition That is the power of technology: it can become a bridge across the divides that separate us—bringing together people polarized by geography, economics, and circumstance, and giving them a shared space to imagine, create, and connect. That´s just what technology does. It has the magical wand to bring people polarized by economic status and geographic difference.   I seldom knew (and so do my other Digital World Fellows), that during the intensive last few days of our workshops in readiness for the final ITU International open fray, in Geneva, we could be met with Carlos Slim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Slim who "as of 2011 is the richest person in the world, for the second year in a row.

There were many days and months growing up hearing gunfire instead of morning bells. Amidst scarcity, chaos, and uncertainty, I discovered that resilience is built in the act of showing up, believing in possibility, and adding value wherever we can. Some people will never understand the strength it takes to keep going when the world feels heavy—like a barricade mounted against you.
