Therefore, we define "informatization" as: "The process of creation and development of informational technology in a certain area which increases the speed and amount of various information and the extent of circulation, and which makes people better understand the importance of information and make large-scale use of hardware, so that information gradually occupies a leading role in the course of the area's economy, politics, and society."
為此，我們將「資訊化」定義為「一個地區資訊科技的創新與發展，使得各種資訊與流通之速度、數量及程度大為提高，該地區的人們愈益認知資訊的重要性，並大量使用與資訊有關之硬體，以致資訊在該地區的經濟、政治、社會各方面漸居主導地位之歷程」。
