Abstract: | 智能手機的發明開啟了人類生活的新紀元,日常生活中人們對信息通訊技術(ICT )的依賴日趨嚴重。並且,隨著數據通訊的快速發展,越來越多的信息通過手機等電子設備傳輸,新的產業改革由此產生了。 人們普遍認為,信息通訊技術的發展是國家發展、公共基礎建設的關鍵要素。其主要理由是,在幾乎任何方面,電子設備及電子化系統都能提高效率,因此將使得任何使用電子通訊技術的產業得以提高產出。尤其是,當我們可以跳過第三代通訊技術的建立而直接建設第四代通訊技術,上述的觀點變得更加理所當然。信息通信技術改革成為任何與發展相關的議題之萬能藥。然而,從零開始建立一個通暢的信息通訊技術環境需要花費巨大的財政支出及時間花費,而這樣的投資是否會有大量回報,亦非常值得懷疑。 本文將討論信息通訊技術對國家發展的影響,及信息通訊技術是否是國家發展的有效手段。 Introduction of smart phone opened a gate to a new era where people’s dependency on Information and Communication Technology (ICT) in everyday life is stronger than ever. With its paradigm shift to the rapidly-growing data communication, industrial reform was made while more information flows in and out of handsets and devices. It is widely accepted that the development of ICT is a key factor for establishing foundation for a state development. The main idea is that the devices and digitalization of systems will increase the performance efficiency in almost all aspects, which will result in a general increase in outputs of those sectors with ICT implementation. Especially with possibilities of skipping the infrastructure establishment of 3rd Generation communication technology and leapfrogging to the 4th Generation, the belief became a taken for granted; ICT reform is a panacea for every development related problem. However, creating a smooth ICT environment from scratch requires a tremendous amount of financial investment and time, and it is strongly questionable whether such investment is worth betting for higher return. This thesis will cover the impact of ICT on state development, and engage in a conversation whether ICT for Development is an effective tool. |
