| Summary, etc. | Argues that it is unlikely that quantum leap reversals of marginalization and poverty will result from technology transfer to the developing world. Cautions that developing country governments and international agencies should undertake a more rigorous analysis of the social and cultural dimensions of information and communication technologies (ICTs) in order to be able to design appropriate policies and programmes which will enable countries to harness ICTs for development in their own context. Concludes that the best long-term development investment that can be made using ICTs is to apply them to the training and education of the new generation, rather than to transform those technologies into short-term ends in themselves. |
