           DHAR, India, Feb. 27 — In this poor,
           tribal backwater of central India,
           where Lalita Rathod lives, Pentium
           and modem are rare, exotic items.
           The 35-year-old illiterate woman
           knows nothing about computers or
           connectivity. But she has intuitively
           grasped this relation between them
           and profits: Ever since Dehrisarai,
           her village, was “wired,” she has
           made more money selling fruits and
           vegetables.
