| Sumario: | The expansion of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in all areas of our society has occurred at great speed and is constantly evolving. This article presents a literature analysis on the role of ICTs in rural development, where the literature shows that ICTs can be a tool to promote development under adequate conditions of access and use, however, rural areas of Latin American countries and in particular Mexico, show structural disparities that limit access and use of these technologies. Therefore, to obtain benefits through the effective use of ICTs by the rural population and productive sectors, public policies with local relevance are required to increase the coverage of telecommunications services and digital literacy initiatives, as well as the articulation of the ICT policy with other social programs contributing to a better quality of life. |
