Arabs and Technology

Arabs and Technology

Perhaps our backwardness in the field of technology and technology is the clearest and most distinctive of all aspects of our backwardness in general, because technology is a tangible language in which the difference is clear and can not be hidden or denied, so we find that gap is clear and clear between the Arabs and technology and technology in general.

There is also a close link between what we talked about in the last article of our cultural backwardness and our technological backwardness because the weakness of culture and the backwardness of education can never help in technological development.
The importance of technology and technology:

Arabs and Technology

Experts say that wars are now more cyber-human than wars. They are run by remote control, and those who have the most sophisticated machine are often those who can control the battle.

The famous saying (who owns information has power) confirms that advanced media technology has become a key element in the power industry and prove existence.

Studies also indicate that the first area in the world where active spies war is the field of industry and technology because of its importance and speed, followed by the spies of wars and the secrets of countries, and the third area is spying wives on their husbands and vice versa !!
Most backward:

Our Arab world is the most backward in the use of global technology, and this shows in the proportion of Internet users in the Arab world less than 1% of its users in the world while they make up 5% of the world population!

While some of the rich Arab countries have been able to transfer or import part of the high-tech, but so far have not been able to localize, manufacture and creativity, they are just a user, although this technology is evolving daily.

Suffice it to know that the contribution of Arabs does not exceed 3% of the total exports of the world, note that most of them are oil exports in addition to natural and agricultural wealth, if we do not offer anything to the world and help by its progress only by much less than 3%.
Arabs and technology .. The results of underdevelopment

Importing ready-made goods from various fields, including high-cost technology, causes high losses and continuous bleeding of our Arab funds. It is also a major reason for wasting time and effort, many of which can be saved using modern technologies.

This is in addition to the so-called brain drain which cost the Arab world as some studies indicate about $ 200 billion !!

These Arab minds are forced to emigrate from their countries of origin because of the denial and lack of interest and lack of resources and tools available in addition to placing them in places of work that can not be creative, and we all hear and know how to treat these minds produced in the West, and how to honor and open the doors of governments and companies Among technology producers, there is an intense struggle to attract minds and talent from around the world, while Arabs do not make good use of these competencies.

Suffice it to point out in our talk about the damages of underdevelopment that 45% of the workers of the Western world increased their income due to technological progress, where is the luck of the Arab worker from this development ?!
Causes of technological underdevelopment:

When talking about any problem or phenomenon must be studied causes and what supported the existence and spread so that after agreement on the reasons to address them and propose appropriate solutions.
