Information Lives of the Poor, Fighting Poverty with Technology
Abstract
This document presents a book on Information Lives of the Poor, Fighting Poverty with Technology. This book explores the impacts of the unprecedented technological change. Drawing on unique household surveys undertaken by research networks active in 38 developing countries, it helps to fill knowledge gaps about how the poor use information and communication technologies (ICTs). How have they benefited from mobile devices, computers, and the Internet? What insights can research provide to promote affordable access to ICTs, so that communities across the developing world can take advantage of the opportunities they offer?
