CHAPTER ONE


1.1     INTRODUCTION

A powerful force drives the world towards a company commodity and that force is technology (LEVITT 1992) from the beginning of the human era, technology has been one of the most essential and most important factors for the development and mainland (idoms et al, 1987). During the last two decades, technology changed often been related to economic growth in the form of new types of goods and services. Smith (1.976) first wrote about technical change in the form of new machines as one of the three important causes of increasing incomes more than two decades ago.
