Study on Mobile Technology, Social Media and 180 Million People

In the last 30 years, developed economies throughout the world have utilised Information Technology (IT) in many aspects of life, particularly in its use to promote efficiency in companies and the links between the company and its internal and external stakeholders. Though technology has been integrated in everyday life in established economies throughout the world, particularly in the way they define strategy and business, little can be said about the progress of such new technologies in developing countries for a variety of reasons. Poverty, insufficient facilities, poor Internet penetration, high energy costs, corruption, and an unpredictable political system are all issues that have contributed to the low adoption and use of IT in developing nations to far. Since the mid-2000s, however, the pattern appears to be shifting. As a result of the increasing use of smart phones, internet use has increased, becoming more accessible to a mostly young and educated population in recent years.
