What will technological change deliver
in the coming decades? And what can we do to determine the
outcome? Technological change in any given society is never
smooth and always negotiated. Although both perils and
opportunities await, the ultimate result depends on our
choices today. Governments, businesses, and individuals have
shown that adapting to changing circumstances can alter the
consequences of apparently ‘inevitable’ changes. And
developing countries can be profoundly affected by changes
seemingly limited to the advanced economies; they must adapt
to what is actually a global technological playing field.
The World Bank’s recently issued World Development Report
2016: digital dividends focuses on strengthening the ‘analog
complements’ of the digital economy, including adapting
skills to get the most out of the digital revolution.
Countries whose governments can facilitate innovation,
strengthen education and skill building, and build up the
social safety net may be the most likely to benefit from the
coming changes. |
