Digital hubs

摘要

Three nwe research centres devoted to digital technologies will benefit sectors ranging from healthcare to transport, the government has claimed.rnLocated in Nottingham, Newcastle and Aberdeen, the centres will cost £36m and will focus on promoting digital technologies to people who have difficulty accessing them.rnTargeted groups include the elderly, disabled and those living in rural communities. However, science minister Drayson said that the benefits would be wide-ranging. He added: 'The hubs will develop new technologies utilising wireless networks and GPS, which will deliver hi-tech digital solutions across many sectors. They will create jobs, improve public services such as health and transport, reduce waste and bring digital revolution into people's lives for the first time.'
