This chapter reviews the major developments in information technology (IT) since 2000 and the contributions these developments have made to industrial growth. Recently, big data, the internet of things, artificial intelligence, the fifth-generation mobile communications (5G), and other new network-based IT are accelerating the promotion and application of new business models, new formats, and new sectors. IT has become the main driving force of the digital economy. The chapter also discusses likely IT breakthroughs during 2021-40 and the potential opportunities these developments might bring in the education, health, and other sectors. It is expected that the new generation of IT will be driven by the 5G/6G, the internet of everything, and artificial super intelligence.
