"Development and technology enjoy an uneasy relationship, and within development circles, there is a suspicion of technology boosters as too often promoting expensive, inappropriate fixes that take into no account of development realities. Yet if the development community turns its back on the explosion of technological innovation…it risks denying potential breakthrough opportunities for poor countries. It is time for a new partnership between technology and development. The potential benefits of technology must be rooted in a pro-poor development strategy. And that means that technology is used to empower people, allowing them to harness technology to expand the choices in their daily lives."

—Human Development Report (2001)
