Internet and its Lasting Impact on Cambodia
Internet is not that kind of revolution that can be termed as a subtext to some other invention. It in fact is literally a thing that has diminished contraction of time and space. The entire world came to one page not in terms of development or success but in term of access to the tools that can lead to the former. Above and beyond, it became a sharing experience with the arrival of social media websites. Those who felt unexpressed found new platforms to express themselves. Others who thought that the world is inaccessible had to rethink because virtually everything happened to be in their reach now. All the third world and developing countries witnessed an upward mobility after internet reached each and every household. This is where E camshopping and Kaymu have jumped in to facilitate the people who want to connect each other through marketplaces.
Awareness in Cambodians through Internet
Once people start using internet in their homes, a thing that you can immediately observe is the awareness they get about the world. Similar is the case with Cambodians. Once people get onto the platforms like Facebook, twitter and other similar media channels, you get to experience a new life altogether. Though some psychologists suggest the less use of these social spaces, but there is no doubt that they create an extended self of yours. However, it is not bad if you keep a check on yourself.
Accelerated Economic Growth with Internet
It is a matter of common knowledge that as the internet users increase in a country, the increase is directly proportional to the GDP. One of the researches done by a leading financial policing institute suggests that on average internet accounts for 3.4 percent of GDP in large economies that make up almost 70 percent of the global economy. The same research also concludes that if internet is treated as a separate sector, it will add to GDP more than energy and agricultural sector. No doubt Cambodia is not behind. The important field that has opened up after the internet is online buying and selling. These virtual markets let the people interact and do transactions that otherwise in real life would be impossible.
3G and its Revolutionary Impact on Economic Growth
The maturity of the ecosystem that Internet brought, has been achieved quite quickly as compared to other revolutions like Industrial revolution. Naturally, a thing first introduces to the people gets mixed response but over the years it reaches certain maturity level.
Moreover, with the 3G technology things have changed drastically. People now have access to internet all day long and wherever they go. This completely changed the landscape of online buying and selling. Cities like Phnom Penh have a large population that is internet driven and loves to spend hours on internet daily. The future no doubts, whether it be of Cambodia or of any other Indochinese country dwells largely on the internet industry.
