What is your understanding of the term ‘‘connectivity’’? Connectivity is a way for people communicate

with each other around the world. This can help not only get in touch with friends and family but also know the latest news that is going on in the world.

We can also receive information on arrange of topics without having to and look for a specific book on what you are trying to find out.

What are Facebook Zero and Wikipedia Zero and how do these work? Why are these thought to be good for developing countries? Facebook Zero is a social site where people

around the world can connect and message each other. This site was a text only but was used to increase the amount of people around the world to get connected. The site also has no data charges for its users.

Wikipedia Zero is a browsing site that has no data charges. This is useful for developing countries by the wide range of information it has available.

Connectivity can help us grow as people and know more about the world and what is going on without having to travel very far.
