Despite being a profound technophile I've always been - and still remain - ambivalent about the potential role of information technology in Haiti and other Third World countries. My mom bought our first home computer (an Apple II/C) when I was about 8 and I've been tinkering with the beasts since. Though everyone from high school remembers me as "that girl who loved computers", I specifically avoided studying in information technology because I wanted to be in a field that touched the lives of the Haitian working class and rural majority.
