Roundtable Wrap-Up: RT 10-Wednesday Part 2

Two major things were settled upon. First, there needs to be at least a certain level of “development” in a country before the introduction of technology will have any valuable effect. If the basics of “Maslow’s Hierarchy” are not being fulfilled use of technology and connection to the internet is pretty useless. Second, any hope of technology taking root in developing countries lies in the companies/governments who are investing in it. With many “developing” countries being a dangerous risk from a business standpoint it is unlikely that without some sort of insurance or stabilizing factor the investments will ever be more than small scale endeavors.
