The cell phone as appropriate information technology: evidence from The Gambia by Harvey, J, Sturges, P

“…In order to investigate the cell phone's influence on non-Western cultures, over 1000 semi-qualitative questionnaires were collected and analysed alongside the details of ICT polices in The Gambia. In this paper, we discuss with empirical backing why the cell phone is an appropriate (information) technology for developing countries, and why IT continues to generate positive impact. © 2010 The Author(s).…”
