IT and Global Communication summit 2010 in Tanzania

The 21st century is universally considered the digital revolution era. In this epoch, unprecedented breakthroughs in Information Technology (IT) have been at the epicenter of progress and development throughout the world. No economic, social, political or cultural element has been left un-touched or uninfluenced by the digital revolution. The most interesting aspect however is the innovations and discoveries that constantly grace the digital revolution.
