New information and communication technologies overcome the barriers of distance and time, and significantly improve the accessibility of information and knowledge.

These paper aims to highlight some of the benefits developing countries can derive from the use and adoption of ICT, as well as some problems they encounter and what the government of these developing countries can do to assist in the implementation of ICT.
