International Telecommunication Union ( ITU)

Conduct: an annual study on the prevalence of ICT around the world. The report, called ICT Development Index (IDI), includes quantitative indicators regarding ICT access, usage, skill in diff regions and countries.

Technology

Has evolved in ways that improve people's daily activities. As mentioned above, technology has made communication much easier and faster through telephones, fax machines, mobile devices, and the internet. It has also made broadcasting of information, such as news or weather reports, more effective.
