Assig 1: Reflections

The mobile phone is an important concept of a “leapfrog” technology. The technology has enabled developing countries to skip the fixed-line technology of the 20th century and move straight to the mobile technology of the 21st.
The World Bank stated that a country's capacity to absorb and benefit from new technology depends on the availability of more basic forms of infrastructure.
The author stated that the "most of the time, to go high-tech, you need to have gone medium-tech first." I personally, agree with the statement because to implement a new technology sometimes one needs to implement a primary tool that would enable the implication of a high technology.
