Description

Explore the complex relationship between technology and social progress in this academic study from Routledge. Professor Stover examines how mass media, telecommunications, and computer technology impact developing nations. While these tools have the potential to drive change, many leaders in Third World countries face disappointing results when implementing new systems. This book investigates information technology and communication as drivers for economic, social, and political development. Stover argues that true progress requires a new understanding of development and communication. He suggests that these processes must prioritize the exchange of information and the achievement of humane values to be effective. By analyzing why the current world information order often fails to meet the specific needs of the Third World, this work provides a deep look into the requirements for meaningful national development. It is an essential read for those studying how communication systems can better serve the people they are intended to help.
