Technology Advancement in developing countries during Digital Age

Developing nations have developed technology rapidly in recent years. These nations are integrating various forms of technology, such as computers, radios, cellular phones, televisions, newspapers, and the internet into their daily lives. This research argues that technological growth in developing nations results from a mutually dependent process: technology use spurs understanding, which in turn spurs greater use. Using a multi-method approach of observation, trend analysis and case studies, this research breaks its argument into three main parts: 1) understanding the technological challenges in developing countries; 2) implications on how technology affects education, infrastructure, healthcare, and social and economic development; and 3) status of technological advancement and the accelerating growth and developmental rates of the developing countries. The evidence presented in this research also supports the contention that developing countries’ lack of access to technology and other infrastructure has contributed to their lag behind the new technology development.
