Development trends of information and communication technology

Abstract

Information and communication technology underwent rapid evolution, experiencing three stages: source innovation, iterative innovation, and convergence innovation. These three stages were sequentially ordered yet overlapped with each other. An overall technology development framework was proposed, based on the current development of new-generation information communications and related technologies. Then, an outlook for technology development trends was made in several aspects. Overall, the development of information and communications technology was found to be more diversified, converged, and integrated than it had previously been.
