Abstract
- This article focuses on effectively implementing information technology (IT) in developing countries. Discussed is the important need for technologists to break through the digital divide by teaching about and distributing computer hardware to poor nations. The article presents an explanation of why IT has not been implemented, such as the high cost and standard of living, the unavailability of loans and foreign aid, the level of complementary assets, and the lack of a cohesive national development policy.
