Abstract: With the explosion of technology in the last decade, First World countries have been steadily and rapidly moving ahead. This Information Revolution has impacted US trade, investments and jobs. During this same period, however, there was a majority of countries which were called developing nations who had not yet caught up with the technological revolution. Yet, we now discover that these nations had moved rapidly forward. By making use of technology learned from First-World nations, these developing countries have leap-frogged into the fray and become as competitive as First-World countries.

Keywords: developing nations; high-growth nations; information technology; information revolution; Korea; Taiwan; Singapore.
