Chapter 1 in Social Media and Emerging Economies, 2014, pp 1-5 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The Internet community is expanding at an incredible speed, with profound implications for the emerging economies, not to mention social norms and political systems of countries. The pace of transformation is exceptional. Considering the net fall in the costs of access to Internet (it is estimated that internauts from emerging countries shall outnumber those from developed countries some time in 2013) and the great increase in urbanisation and per capita income, it is not impossible to expect that the rate of spread of social networks shall increase considerably.
