Synopsis

The present publication examines how the information revolution has provided unprecedented opportunities for both economic and human development to countries, societies and people – if they are capable of tapping its potential. It is becoming well to recognized that people should be placed at the centre of all concerns. In other words, the new information revolution needs to be humanized if one wants to prevent a new divide―namely the digital divide.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book examines how the information revolution has provided unprecedented opportunities for both economic and human development to countries, societies and people - if they are capable of tapping its potential. Human creativity, knowledge, productivity, innovation, skills, capacities and capabilities are becoming essential prerequisites to success. Governments that encourage investments in people, education, research and development, and in lifelong learning and training, are taking the most advantage of the globalisation process. People should be placed at the centre of the process, to prevent the development of a digital divide. During the 21st century the yardstick used for the measurement of a country's development level will be the computer-literacy rate and no longer the adult-literacy rate.
