Overview: Development and underdevelopment
in the age of globalisation is one of the most conscious debates in our
time. Social conscience and social capital theory is an exciting new
topic that broadens our thinking concept on development and offers many
fresh policy insights. Yet perhaps an inexpensive yet effective solution
to our problem of imbalanced development is to carry out a initiative
project proposal which, in practice is focus on the recycling of
technology, in particularly in the aspect to redistribute of used
computer equipment in a bid to help bridge the digital divide between
developed and developing countries, from which especially emphasis on
the theories of development in strategy and practice in terms of human
capital for sustainable human development. Thus, the project proposal is
stress the need for adapting and changing our view on development.
Importance is attached by formulating possibilities of change the old
way of thinking in the development policy, by carry out a more pragmatic
approach and concrete actions to tackling the North-South divide in term
of wealth and the wellbeing, by embrace on the conception and
possibilities of recycling of used of technology and ICTs device in the
consequences for challenging the safety of nature and society of
production and consumption in relation to the environment and
development, hence, it put forward the ideas in a holistic perspective
and theories of development in strategy and practice of rights in which,
ultimate objective is to achieve global economically, environmentally
and socially sustainable alternatives. The implications of Technology: Problem of international
development is not just about the gap in technology development between
countries, but the fundamental concern is to address the need for the
availability of technology and the accesses to use it technology
resources, particularly of ICTs in infrastructure of a based society. In
this crucial aspect in human development, the gap is increasingly wide
between developed and developing societies. Comparatively, the Third
World countries has been left far behind the First World, and because of
the fact that, primitive and low level of their infrastructure in
technology and in particularly, the lack of access to ICTs, its has led
the way to poverty whilst industrial were stricken down and following
are the result of decades of low economic performances and thus reducing
and scarcity the pace of technological innovation, hence, further fall
into the trap of underdevelopment. Technology change for economic
development and poverty-alleviation: Technological change is often linked to the
development of ICTs. Not merely that ICT is of vital important part, but
the role of ICT is of crucial importance which cannot be neglected, in
fact, it is a precondition for the development of new technology and the
dissemination of information, idea and knowledge. Innovation and the conditions for
innovation are pivotal factors in the development of production,
including low and intermediate technology production and utilisation of
resources. The relationship between innovation systems and learning
processes through or by implement ICT development is a crucial aspect in
economic development. Thus, ICT technological transfers from developed
to less developed countries and the ties of closer co-operation between
less developed economies with developed economies are the essential
means to achieve these goals. Development strategy and
practice in terms of human capital for sustainable human development: In the societies of the Third
World, most areas of high population density, however, there are great
scarcity of technology resources, particularly, access to ICTs
resources. The lack of access to ICTs in the third world simply because
the lack of availability of suitable ICTs in infrastructure which should
be provided in most public areas and sectors of the economy, for example
such as in schools, universities, health centres, learning centres,
libraries, urban industrial and rural agricultural production, etc.,
On the contrary, as in the First
world societies, the population learning to use their ICT equipments in
the speed of change within the ICTs industries. And at that time of
nearly two decades or so since the middle of 1980s to now, there were
growing at breakneck speed on changing the ICTs speed and models, as a
result, many used computers now have been seen as rubbish near the
highways and many public places. Yet these used computers would be a
great assets to the hands of third world’s population. By collecting of used computers in
First World countries, and hence, with the maintenance of a technician
team associated with the support of either local government or central
government of the concern countries, who plays an important part in the
battle against poverty for the third world by contribute their work in
repairs and in consulting works and by implement their appropriate
policies in response to the need in development. Now then the final task is to
supply these computers as aid to Third World countries, but not yet
finish the task, because there is a tendency need of certain personnel
of the expertise team who would also to follow with their ICTs machines
for providing assistances for people in the third world, and because aid
should also be careful planning in order to make sure that this aid
associated with other aids can laid the foundations for the nation’s
economic miracle and poverty eradication incentives. Furthermore, the
team’s expertise also need to teaching a short course which aim to
gives students of a community where the ICT project is carry out, so
that the team will provided a solid foundation in the basics of
computing to its people of the concern community. Yet only then, these
used computers would serve as a new asset help to boot the development
of third world societies, in particularly, among other, this aid is aim
to enrich the ICT infrastructure of the poor and remote villages,
schools, health centres, local government and communities. Thus, among
other aid, this aid process in supply of ICTs used equipments would
provide the fundamental foundation base and necessary tools on the
Education and Capacity building of a poor based society, and hence, with
the realization of implement of these used computers for widely have
access (a concrete floor), it would have the effect onto widely
dissemination of idea and knowledge which, eventually effect on in
bringing its population out of the vicious cycle of poverty. Last but
not least, with a large population have the access to the worldwide web,
the pivotal and fundamental effect of the result is the formation of a
democracy base, this base incorporate into the spreading of a global
concrete floor of democracy, and hence, with the dynamic transparency of
the globalisation processes, it would pull them in participating for the
integration of a global society. And for the first world, it success to delivery of these used computers in a bid to help bridge the gap in digital divide between the third world, is just merely to address the safe environment for improving the global quality of life as a whole, but also the real prospect is to adds a wider perspective on the recycling alternative to international economic environment from which, holistic approach fundamentally emphasis on the heart of social conscience and the will to pursue of global sustainable development.
