Singapore At the Top of Information Technology

Singapore bumped the U.S. out of the top spot as the world’s best user of information and communications technology.

Iceland, Finland and Denmark also rank higher than the U.S. which is in 5th place in the annual Global Information Technology report by the World Economic Forum (WEF).

According to a BBC article,

“The WEF said ICT is playing a “central role” in growth and competitiveness.

Singapore was found to be the best performer in a number of categories, including quality of maths and science education, affordability of telephone connection charges and internet access, and government policy on ICT.”

“It is clear that information and communications technologies will continue to play a growing role in boosting the efficiency of the increasing integrated global economy,” says the report’s co-editor Augusto Lopez-Claros.
