Beschreibung

This book extensively investigates the dynamic relationship between information technology and societal transformation. The book explores a range of applied IT uses, ranging from educational technology to the complex applications of cybersecurity, the promise of blockchain technologies, e-commerce and rural development, and social media and its applications in political activism.

Investigating key topics in social development and the role information technology plays in elevating our lives, the book navigates this ever-changing landscape of technological innovation to determine how it can be a source for good and improve our lives by driving positive social change.

While focusing on the practical application of technology to real-world situations, examples, and cases, the book primarily focuses on educational development, entrepreneurship, sociopolitical transformation, and the security and defence of society. Collectively, these explorations serve to better highlight how technology can be harnessed in the creation of a more inclusive and equitable society. Hence, the book will be a useful read for students, academics, policymakers, business and social investors.
