The early industrialized countries driven by mechanization and electrification experienced a long process of accumulation and consumed a lot of mineral resources, as was the case in Britain and France  The newly industrialized countries and regions with mechanization, electrification, electronization and informationization as the comprehensive driving force and characterized by the factory of the world have spent only half or less time through the rapid consumption of energy and raw materials  By consuming half of the per capita resources of the first developed countries, they have basically achieved industrialization, as is the case in Japan and South Korea
Technological progress generally comes from the first-developing countries, which itself is realized on the basis of consuming a lot of energy
 This shows that electronic and information technology can enable post-developed countries to achieve great-leap-forward development with less per capita resource consumption
