Internet Terminal for Africa

The Index Project

The Index Project
Copenhagen, Denmark

The concept is a low-cost Internet café for rural Africa that consists of a single standard PC with 10-20 terminals attached. Users share software, expensive processing power and all maintenance is centralised to a single unit. Each terminal includes a screen, keyboard and a pointing device, uniting all peripheral components in a cheap robust unit. For a quick learning process, the user is presented with a full screen browser window interacting only with the basic Internet functions.
