The increasing effect of the development of technology on the global economy

Draft

Initialised by Peter Groen (EMBA05).

Description:

The development of technology has two main consequences: new technologies are being developed and highly technological products become cheaper to produce. The development of technology therefore has an increasing effect on the global economy because of efficiency and effectivity gains and of wider use of technology. It is to be expected that the developing economies will benefit the most of the decreasing cost of technology.
