A total of 50 unique pieces of art involving the work of 150 artists and 49 kilometers of laser beams was presented throughout the Slovak capital on Saturday night. Also the facade of Bratislava Castle served as a screen for fairytales as part of the White Night festival.

UNITED NATIONS, Dec. 15 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and the president of the UN General Assembly, Mogens Lykketoft, on Tuesday urged member states to make more efforts to bridge digital divide in order to pave the way for sustainable development.


They made the remarks at the high-level meeting here to review the outcomes of the World Summit on the Information Society, also called WSIS, held 10 years ago. The two-day meeting Nike Air Max 90 Mens Sale , convened by the General Assembly president, in close collaboration with International Telecommunication Union and other UN agencies and programmes such as the UN Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the UN Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD) and the UN Development Programme (UNDP), is expected to produce a road map for efforts to put information and communication technologies (ICTs) at the heart of new development strategies.


Ban said the focus now lies on bridging the digital divide to facilitate inclusive Internet access for all in order to enable the implementation of Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development, approved in September by world leaders here Nike Air Max 1 Mens Sale , as he cited remarkable achievement of the information and communication technologies (ICTs) for development.


ICTs have reached into every walk of life. They have sparked innovation and entrepreneurship. They have created new forms of public engagement and economic activity that would have been unimaginable just a few years ago. "They help people connect, organize and act towards common purpose," Ban said.


Delegates from member states and observer entities began meeting on Tuesday at UN headquarters in New York for the two-day event, known as WSIS+10 High-Level Meeting, aiming to identify emerging trends, fresh priorities and innovations for advancing information and communications technologies.


Highlighting the reach of ICTs Nike Air Max Mens Sale , the secretary-general urged all attendees to aid in maximizing the benefits of ICTs for people everywhere.


"This high-level review is timely coming just three months after the adoption of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. ICTs can be an engine for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They can power this global undertaking," Ban said.


However, despite the remarkable achievements of the ICTs, the UN chief noted, there is a prominent digital divide prevalent, including gender digital divide.


"Today Air Max 95 Mens Sale , more than 80 percent of households in developed countries have Internet access," Ban said. "Meanwhile, two out of three households in developing countries do not. Women are half the global population -- yet 200 million fewer women than men have access to the Internet."


Mobile technologies and digital currencies also present huge potential to reach the two billion women and men who are still unbanked around the world, Ban said.


Ban also stressed the need to encourage innovation in financial technology to help promote financial inclusion, enlarge opportunities and grow productive economies.


Looking ahead, the UN chief said work must be undertaken collectively to strengthen trust and promote a global culture of cybersecurity Air Max 90 Mens Sale , by enhancing a shared commitment and action by al
