| Summary: | Digital technologies have permeated
modern life, and their impact on creative work has been
revolutionary. This revolution, as widely noted, has
disrupted the making, distribution, and consumption of
creative output. On the downside, key concerns include
Internet-induced piracy and inequality. Yet digital
technologies also accelerate opportunities. So, how can
these opportunities be reaped to promote creative work for
development? Suggestions here include closing the digital
gender gap, promoting appropriate intellectual property
rights, and providing digital literacy. More needs to be
done to understand the benefits and limitations of digital
technologies on creative work for human development. |
