New information‐communication technologies in scientific communication: Implications for third‐world users
Kieran P. Broadbent · The Information Society · 1990
This paper considers the transfer process in the context of Third World needs and endeavours and suggests that modern information‐communication technologies are not different from any other new technology in the economic order. The issue is equitable technical collaboration. In order to avoid past mistakes, it is necessary to consider technical change in the social context. New technologies can then be more effective tools to access scientific knowledge.
