Epistemological embargo of the so called "third world"

This is just an idea that came to my mind, I tried to reflect about it and I elaborated it further below. I am not a sociologist (if you are I would love to hear your thoughts). I am just reflecting on the consequences of technology being faster and more accessible in already privileged regions of the globe. I, myself, am privileged. Sadly not everyone had access to the schools, computers and internet I had growing up.

I come from Brazil, in South America. Our industrial output is lower because any technology is harder to get here. Automation is decades behind of those of north america and europe. That is the basis of the reflection I want to share.

And importantly:

When I say "me" or "us" I am referring generally. I admit that I myself am privileged, but when referring to me and us I refer to the masses of people that are not as privileged as I was.

Our continent is historically oppressed, initially it was clear that the oppression had the goal of making some coutries rich. Now, the oppression is a reflection of how different parts of the world developed differently for different reasons. The oppresion may not be something done willingly, I don't believe there is an evil cult plotting to exploit South America or anything like that. I believe we are living the consequences of the exploitation from the past, which generates exploitation nowadays because of how markets work.

In the modern world, technology is the main driving force that pushes countries, economies, and individuals updwards financially and intellectually. There is a clear embargo on the South, though. Keep in mind, technology and information makes all the possible upwards movements faster, or at least possible. We are grinding our way up there (the science mountain), while others have elevators.

Technology and information doesn't reach us in the south as fast and as broadly as it reaches our friends in the north. The newest computers never get here fast enough, the newest technologies don't get here fast enough.

Consequently, our people are left behind technologically. That is a market strategy, it may not be designed for evil, it just is because if it were not like it then it wouldn't be it (quite a hegelian logic to follow).

Of course companies want to take their technology, patents and industries to where consumers will pay the best price for them. For being able to pay the best price the north hemisphere gets the best information technology, and consequently, directly or indirectly, make more money, which in turn allows the cycle to continue.

I call that epistemological embargo. Epistemology means the broad knowledge of science, it is a very generic term and I myself can't explain it any better than this. And it is an embargo because the knowledge gets to the north first, we need to fights to get technology, information and industry.

Case and point:
If scientific papers are written in English, who has an edge at reading and learning? The native English speakers.

I can say for myself that I live in a bubble of my own. I won't elaborate further, suffice to say I am fluent in English, which already allows be to learn on the internet from teachers and tutors from all around the globe. Not every south american can do that. Even if everyone in South America learned English, though, many regions still have very bad access to the internet, that when they manage to get access to it.

Imagine what would happen if we managed to give access to teachers, computers, internet and means of manofacture to the over 400 million South Americans? Would we become a "second china"? (in terms of pace of technological development through imports of foreign companies industry and knowledge)

I acknowledge not everyone may dream of using information and technology to work like I do (programming for example), but even artisans would profit from learning faster how to improve their skills, how to produce more, better, or how to keep doing the same job but working less and having a better quality of life.

I remain hopeful. Technology grows exponentially, and even under an embargo, because of the exponential nature of technology, we will get to a point where our growth rate will make the distinctions in the speed and reach of transfer of knowledge irrelevant.

Imagine it comes an age when so much information is being exchanged, that it won't matter that the north hemisphere receives them faster, because they won't be able to process them significantly faster (don't get me wrong, inequality will always exist and they will process faster) the speed of the widening of the gap will reduce. I believe that during my lifetime the technological gap will keep increasing, but hopefully slower.

When that day comes, when the gap stops increasing, we may hope of ending the epistemological embargo that we, you, and no one we know created, but which is a result history.

Do I make sense?
