| Sumario: | Both the World Bank and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) insist that technology can help developing countries. The World Bank believes that cell phones can provide people in developing countries with access to knowledge from industrialized countries, while the UNDP believes that a combination of cell phones and computers can provide potable water, improve the conditions of women, provide rural people with access to health, and even promote democracy. However, the experience of the tourism industry in Jamaica suggests that these claims may be overblown.
