Résumé
Les nouvelles technologies sont considérées, de par le monde, comme le moteur
du développement socioéconomique. Toutefois, le degré de disponibilité,
l’utilisation et l’impact des nouvelles technologies sur le développement socioéconomique
de l’Afrique demeure un terrain fertile pour le recherche. La recherche
axée sur l’impact des nouvelles technologies sur le développement socioéconomique
de l’Afrique s’avère indispensable à la mise en place de
connaissances et de politique favorables au changement social en Afrique.
