Not only does it revolutionize the global economic structure, ICT is fast becoming a key tool in driving economic growth by promoting productivity and competitiveness, stimulating international trade as well as paving the way for more and better jobs in the market. In the body of literature, there exists a general consensus among researchers that ICT has significant and positive relationship with economic growth.
