dc.description.abstract |
The impact of technology has been the focus of extensive scientific, economic, and political discussion
in South Africa. Technology has always had the potential to both make lives easier and harder. This
article gathers information from the economists in higher education institutions in Limpopo Province, and an
interpretive qualitative study with a case study was used, along with semi-structured individual interviews and
focus groups. The Connectivism and Engagement theories served as the theoretical frameworks underpinning
the paper. Purposive sampling was used in this study to select ten participants. This article used the thematic
data analysis technique. The results of this study include massive job losses from automation; the effects of
digital transformation; lack of appropriate skills; slow productivity growth; and the rising income inequality in
most major economies. This paper aims to investigate how technology has affected the economy in Limpopo
Province in the Republic of South Africa. The study suggests that the state plays a crucial role in creating an
environment that makes technology use and access possible. |
