Its sure one cannot avoid or push behind this factor. I have noticed that some time heavy ICT penetration without taking care of local values (cultural, eco, educational etc) bring unacceptable situations. Heavy investment in ICT with low return may disappoint the investors. ICT is necessary for development but it must be proportionate to local social development i.e. literacy, acceptance and adaptation of technology.
