Since modernization deals with social change from agrarian societies to industrial ones, it is important to look at the technological viewpoint.
It was not just a new technology at one time, but one that had profound implications for the course of societies.
People in society are always coming up with new ideas and better ways of making life easier and more enjoyable.
What becomes of this is a dramatic change through the centuries that has evolved socially, industrially, and economically, summed up by the term modernization.
This is especially true in Africa and other parts of the Middle East where there is a low cost communication infrastructure.
Therefore, widely dispersed populations are connected, it facilitates other business's communication among each other, and it provides internet access, which also gives greater value in literacy.
