Abstract

Innovation includes almost all spheres of human life and society with the upsurge of technology. Ranging from basic human needs, societal requirements, capacity development, and knowledge management to advanced researches, all are dependent on technologies and invariably driven by innovation. Learning is an essential element of human development. From the very beginning of capacity development, learning has become an important aspect in terms of individual or collective knowledge acquisition. This chapter broadly focuses on human development through utilization of innovative approaches of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs), especially the Internet. The specific research focus is to find out the trend of the Internet usage with respect to gender, age, and region, and deduct a relationship of the growth of the Internet user in adopting strategies like open innovation on introducing tools like interactive learning for the overall human development.
