Convergence of ICT and Culture

By Matthew Mitchell (in press April 2005), chapter published in the Encyclopedia of Developing Regional Communities with Information and Communication Technology, Idea Group Reference: Hershey, PA

Abstract: Participants in development projects and programs that strategically utilize Information Communication Technologies (ICT) are engaged in activities that have culturally-relevant impacts. At local and regional levels, there may be approaches to implementing ICT-based development projects that are appropriately contextualized for different socio-cultural systems. Such approaches need to look beyond short-term outputs and mid-term outcomes and give adequate focus on long-term impacts. It is possible to analyze the long-term impacts of ICT-based development projects through a number of different lenses, one of which is the concept of "convergence."
