Morocco Tech Watch

The Morocco Foundation published an Intel press release describing Intel Chairman Craig Barrett's recent trip to Morocco to provide technical assistance and computer technology. Barrett pointed out that Intel's support for education in math and technology was not purely philanthropic, but also helped to develop technically literate workers and consumers who would contribute to Intel's business. As a podcast by Jason Lopez suggests, Barrett's visit raises the possibility that a country with 60 percent literacy for men and 40 percent for women can develop its human capital to the point that it can have a major impact in the modern technology marketplace.
