social cohesiveness and reaching ubicomp

social cohesiveness (or caring) in reaching ubicomp

in short I think it is important. I actually I have not thought about it before reading the Pekka's paper.
I dont know what kind of role it can have in "reaching ubicomp" but it has a big role in sustaining the ubicom society.
to me it seems that the importance of cohesiveness is more in making a sustainable social plan. maybe it wont directly affect the initial performance but in a long run the health and cohesiveness of a society will have a big impact on its performance.
when people dont have the old social and emotional contact with each other the way they used to have, it  is easy to lose the whole social relatedness and it can be very helpful to have an strong cohesiveness to begin with.

Internet availability in Iran

Internet availability in Iran

It was an interesting process to dig up the data supporting this post! every resource would claim different set of numbers! it was controversial and doubtful that how each organisation came up with its report! the main problem seems to be the unclear data collection methods and difficulty to access some sources.
unfortunately the data I found is from four years ago, but it can give some rough overall idea to the reader.
in 2010 access to internet in urban areas were ~19% and in rural areas down to 4%.
out of 20.3 million families,4.3(21.4%) million had internet access from their own homes, which 94% of them were living in cities.
35.2% of all households in Iran had computers at home. which is 91.5% of urban households and 12% of rural.
comparing to the studies from 2008, within two years, the amount of home internet access and families with computer increased respectively 3.2 and 5 percent.
58.1% of internet users where men and 41.9% women. which are 16.6% of male population and 12.7% of females.
from older than 6years internet users , 59.8% had university degree of some kind.
