Abstract: Technology, especially IT&C, is vital to national competitiveness and has become a key factor for increasing economic performance and quality of life. But how could the relationship between IT&C and the economic performance be described? This paper will propose three data analyses using two indicators: GDP per capita, as a measure of the economic development of a country, being also an indicator of living standards, and ISOC - Individuals computer use, as a measure of the IT&C skills penetration into the population. The results highlight the importance of the development of the information society, as a critical step towards meeting the demands of society and the EU economy.
