Data Response

The infrastructural reason why there is a lack of effective ICT is because the area is less economically developed which leads to much of the money being given to other countries until they have paid back a debt or just don’t make enough money as a country to help update there way of life.

The most pressing need is to computerize Africa as many people have been able to buy computers but the county has not computerized meaning the area has not been able to update and catch up to the other countries that are more economically developed.

Computer aid projects have helped to increase the amount of computers sold in Africa as a large amount were sold when people could get to them as they believed they could be just like other people.

They have failed at this as many people were unable to help the country update with the amount of computers sold as many may not have been trained on how to use a computer leading to lots of unused computers.

Computer skills that are lacking are things such as engineering skills like fixing or programming a computer as no one in Africa may not have seen a computer before and have not been trained in how they work and what they are for.

The lack of business skill have lead to many business not using IT as they are unable to get people who know how to use IT to get them to join there business.
