But it is the time for developing countries to turn around for changing their age as well as lifestyles with ICT. Countries without high levels of resources like Bangladesh can hope to accelerate development if they are able to develop knowledge, which, combine with adequate ICT related infrastructure, can allow successful integration into knowledge-based economies.
