Google's special custom-built bus is on its way to teach the folks of Karnataka about the Internet including email, social networking, browsing for maps, and even stock market trends.
This bus started on Monday from Kolar and will drive through 15 towns of Karnataka for the next 50 days to educate the locals about the Internet world.
The core aim of the project is to enlighten people about how technology can make their life simpler. Also, to let people know that they access information through English or local language (Kannada) in various formats like data, audio and video.
Teaching locals about how they can use mobile phones to access local information without the need to use a data plan will also be a focus of the Google bus.
In Karnataka, the Google Google bus will travel through the towns of Mandya, Mysore, Hassan, Shimoga, Chikmagalur, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Hubli-Dharwad, Belgaum, Hospet, and Tumkur.
"The Internet bus project is an attempt to educate the people, especially the younger generation about the worldwide web and how Internet serves as a platform to step into the digital world for information, communication, entertainment and education," Google India research and development (R&D) head Prasad Ram said.
Prior to this, the Google bus has made rounds across Tamil Nadu from December to February. In the coming months, the Google bus will travel across different states in the country for similar purposes
