I came across an interesting article that I thought that some of you may be interested in reading, and I have copied an excerpt:
"Microsoft Corp. is probing that question at a research lab in India. Working with a local advocacy group, Microsoft has developed a prototype of a system that would connect illiterate domestic workers in India with families seeking their services. The system uses pictures, video and voice commands to tell women what jobs are available, how much the jobs pay and where they are." 
The complete article can be read at (it is not long):

I am curious if any of you have any reactions to this article?
