Information and communication technology (ICT) is leading to profound changes in the economic, political and social spheres as a result of its diverse modes of presentation in the world, giving incentives to its conceptual exploration in various areas of competition. The theoretical efforts dealing with this contemporary technological phenomenon have led to a multifaceted group of case studies from which is structured the techno-economic performance of ICT in international societies. This study, therefore, compiles, synthesizes and expounds on some of the more plausible theoretical advances in the area and organizes them in such a way that the present techno-economic, national and international changes are comprehended from an evolutionary economics perspective.
