Informational Development
Informational Development is the organisation of a societies' infrastructure and activities to allow the creation, processing and transmission of information as a resource.[1] It's the stategic integration of information and communications technology (ICT) into society to develop, or enhance it; including its economy,[2] education, health, warfare, government[2] and democracy[3]. This leads to transformations in the populus as they become Digital Users, they become digital citizens. The strategic move towards an information society can often be founf in rural development,[4] and strategies for developing countrys.[5]
The lack of Informational resources in any particular society is theorized to widen economical-social gaps of poverty, education, and democratic power.[5][4] By means of informational development, societies are empowered to make better informed decisions and reach equality through knowledge. However the growing wave of digital citizens are influenced by social media in unpredictable ways, possibly negative. A notable example of negative effects can be the genocide seen in South Sudan because of hate speech and fake news.[6]
