It studies not only the spatial differences in technology usage worldwide, but also examines digital differences in the major world nations of China, India, the United States and Japan at the state and provincial levels. At the global level, factors such as education, innovation, judicial independence, and investment are important to explaining differences in the adoption and use of technology. The country studies corroborate consistent determinants for technology usage for education, urban location, economic prosperity, and infrastructure, but also reveal unique determinants, such as social capital in the United States and India, exports in China, and working age population and patents in Japan. Spatial patterns are revealed that indicate clusters of high and low technology use for various nations around the world, the countries of Africa, and for individual states/provinces within nations. Based on theory, novel findings, and phenomena that have remained largely unreported, the book considers the future of the worldwide digital divides, the policy role of governments, and the challenges of leadership. 000726633 650_0 $$aDigital divide. 000726633 650_0 $$aInformation technology$$xEconomic aspects. 000726633 650_0 $$aInformation technology$$xSocial aspects. 000726633 650_0 $$aDigital electronics$$xEconomic aspects. 000726633 650_0 $$aDigital electronics$$xSocial aspects. 000726633 7001_ $$aSarkar, Avijit,$$eauthor. 000726633 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aPick, James B.$$tGlobal digital divides : explaining change.$$dNew York, New York : Springer, [2015]$$z9783662466018$$w(DLC)18495868 000726633 830_0 $$aProgress in IS. 000726633 852__ $$bebk 000726633 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-662-46602-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000726633 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:726633$$pGLOBAL_SET 000726633 980__ $$aEBOOK 000726633 980__ $$aBIB 000726633 982__ $$aEbook 000726633 983__ $$aOnline 000726633 994__ $$a92$$bISE
