Technology in Bangladesh

Since the country I come from, Bangladesh is a relatively new country; there are many ways technology is being implemented. Government is specially taking several steps to expose citizens to technology. One program of the government accepts online application for people that want to work outside the country. This way, foreign employers are able to look for individuals of their choice and getting rid of the middlemen who are know for malpractice. Any workers that happen get the employment, they are given smartcards which hold all their information. This card is very similar to the green cards that immigrants get in the US. There are also efforts by companies to make cellphones more affordable. One of company’s first innovations was the Village Phone scheme, established at a time when a mobile handset still cost $1000. This program implemented micro credit in order to make the phone more affordable. BillPay is another program that allows people to pay utility bills over the phone. There are also hotlines where farmers can call in order to clarify any concerns pertaining agriculture.
