Management Information Case Study: Bridging the Digital Divide
The rise of mobile devices in developing countries has significant implications for the OLPC (One Laptop per Child) project. This shift in technology adoption trends could impact the effectiveness and relevance of OLPC's mission, as mobile devices often offer more affordable and accessible alternatives to laptops (Ezumah & Ezumah, 2020). Referring to the Accuracy aspect of the PAPA (Privacy, Accuracy, Property, and Accessibility) ethical framework, one can see this issue most clearly.
Accuracy
Is the data regarding individuals accurate?
1. Data Collection: Data accuracy can be a challenge in the OLPC project. In the age of mobile devices, applications can collect data automatically, potentially increasing accuracy. But for the OLPC project, the laptops themselves may not have this same capability (Ezumah & Ezumah, 2020).
2. Educational Content: The rise of mobile devices and digital content also raises questions about the accuracy of the educational materials provided through the OLPC initiative. The risk of outdated, incorrect, or non-contextual content is real, especially in comparison to the dynamic, updated content provided by mobile internet.

The mobile ecosystem, however, has been developing ways to simplify access to personal data, primarily due to widespread usage and regulatory pressures (Ezumah & Ezumah, 2020).
2. Verification of Personal Data: Mobile devices, often linked to a user's personal number or account, might offer an easier path.
What are the impacts of inaccuracies?
1. Inaccurate Personal Data: If the data collected by the OLPC project is inaccurate, it could result in a misrepresentation of the demographics served, leading to ineffective policy or resource allocation (Ezumah…
