This whitepaper for the Korean IT sector has just been released by the Korea Information Strategy Development Institute (KISDI) and sponsored by MIC (Ministry of Information and Communication,Republic of Korea).The Minister,Daeje Chin,in introducing the report says "the contribution of IT in the Korean economy's growth is tremendous:in fact,the IT sector has emerged as the single most important engine of economic growth,representing 29.4% of the nation's total exports in 2004".This is from the general overview section of the report."As we enter the 21st century, the limits of time and space that have restricted our daily lives are disappearing with the development of semi-conductors,computers,the Internet, and other types of information technology.At the same time, the global social paradigm is rapidly shifting from an industrial society to an information society,and from a knowledge-based society to a ubiquitous society.It seems that Korea will be able to realize the ubiquitous society that aims to achieve limitless communications between person to person,person to object,and object to object,in the not-too-distant future with the integration and convergence of digital technologies and government policy efforts".
