Like many other societies, in Malaysia there are levels and sub-cultures within society, such as the rich, the poor, the haves and the have-nots, the educated, the non-educated, the employed and the unemployed.

Each of these categories of society has its own needs and views on the value of technology and its own set of responses and its adoption of technology is also different.
Some groups in society will be in the forefront of Information Technology.
These groups are commonly referred to as ‘Early Adopters’, meaning that they are forward-looking, prepared to take risks, and usually have control over their lives and work. This might apply especially to women who are employed in clerical and administration, caring workers, academic and profession.

These women have an opportunity to use the Internet and have their own e-mail address. Some of them make decisions on which software packages are to be used in their departments, offices, businesses or the organisation where they work.
They become involved in training, initially taking training and then giving training to other people. This leads to the evolution of groups who are higher on the ‘learning curve’ than their colleagues.

On the other hand, there are other groups of society who are, for example, poor and non-educated and they will never have access to Information Technology.
Their lives will be the same no matter what changes Information Technology creates.

My Findings show that the overall impact of Technology is beneficial, and affects different sectors in Society at different rates.
