DHAR, India, Feb. 27 — In this poor,
tribal backwater of central India,
where Lalita Rathod lives, Pentium
and modem are rare, exotic items.
The 35-year-old illiterate woman
knows nothing about computers or
connectivity. But she has intuitively
grasped this relation between them
and profits: Ever since Dehrisarai,
her village, was “wired,” she has
made more money selling fruits and
vegetables.
