Over the past several years, innovations ininformation and communication technology (ICT) have changed the way we dobusiness, interact and communicate (both professionally and socially), engagein commerce, and receive government services. The field of ICT has beenpromising to revolutionize our lives in both small and large ways. Althoughsome big promises have been fulfilled, the impact of these ICT solutions needsto be examined and evaluated. Why were some solutions successful and otherswere not? How can solutions be improved? Why have some of the other promisedchanges not materialized? What are current issues and concerns with ICTlocally, regionally, and globally? The hope is that this forum can be used todiscuss the promises and capabilities of ICT and how it can be used to improveorganizations, while also considering its possible negative impacts andfailures.
