Abstract
Throughout history, society has evolved in a close relationship with technological progress. The rise of an industrial society touched off by the steam engine rapidly progressed to mass-production. Likewise, the diffusion of ICT has formed a new paradigm, bringing about the transition from industrial-society production methods to knowledge-intensive methods. As Korea has done its utmost to promote informatization by preemptively responding to such changes, it has become an advanced ICT nation, ranking first in the UN e-Government Development Index in both 2010 and 2012 as well as achieving the No. 1 ranking in the ITU ICT Development Index for two consecutive years. Korea has carried out large-scale investment and implemented various policies aimed at the earliest possible realization of an information society as well as the reinvigoration of ICT industries.
