world. A developing economy based on information and computers requires much less overhead than an traditional, industrial based economy. Due to the fact these countries do not have a lot to work with from the start, they will have a chance to start the ball rolling in their country by using new technologies to their advantage. This fact alone will provide the base for economic growth that these countries need and allow for the transition from a third world country to possibly a second or first world country, while at the same time, raising their standard of living.It is human nature to think that bigger is better. Only in the past twenty years have we started to learn that efficiency is the key to solving many of the world’s problems. For example, it has been long thought that the world would not be able to produce enough food to feed itself. With increased technological advances, we have learned how to increase food production and currently can supply every person in the world with food. For the developing world, getting the most out of what they have available to them is very important. The biggest problem holding back these developing nations, is the lack of food. To overcome this problem we must teach the farmers in these countries how to properly irrigate their land, harvest their crops properly and combat pests. These elements combined with high yielding varieties of seeds should prove to increase food production and therefore feed those in need. Unfortunately, most agriculture is for export and therefore does not help to combat hunger. Transfers of agricultural and industrial technology that allow for the streamlining of business, such as combines and the production line, will create new jobs and contribute to increased production output. As the developing world experiences this technological transfer and growth, the demand for power in these countries will increase dramatically. To avoid power shortages and reduce pollution, the governments of these countries must find a way to deliver more efficient power production on a larger scale. With help from the developed world, these countries will be able to build environmentally friendly power plants to help increase the living and industrial potential of the developing world. The best part of technology transfers to these third world countries is that they will continuously put money back into their local economy, which will increase education levels, health care standards and therefore have a direct relation to the standard of living. As these developing countries use newfound technology to increase their living conditions, they will unfortunately run into some of the environmental problems the developed world has seen. For example, pesticides and herbicides used in combating pests and weeds, leach into the soil and into the water table. Most of these chemicals are having profound effects on both the people and the land, leading to premature deaths and unfertile soil. This is an unfortunate side effect of increased technology but, a somewhat necessary evil if these countries hope to increase the conditions in their countries.Many of the world issues we have today are a result of the developed worlds actions. If the global village hopes to advance as a singular race, it must share what it has learned and treat everyone as equal. Technological transfers will be the key factor of development where living standards are low. These transfers will give countries who need it, the necessities that the developed world has, such as health care, an education system and a strong economy, that if were not received, would significantly lower the chance of survival in the developed world.
