10. Information and communications technology (ICT) and infrastructures are growing in importance as a part of everyday business and interaction. This process can be enhanced by removing barriers to universal, ubiquitous, equitable and affordable access to information, which hinder the bridging of the digital divide, particularly those that impede the full achievement of the economic, social and cultural development of countries and the welfare of their people, especially youth, in particular in developing countries. ICT has enormous potential to expand access to quality education, to boost literacy and universal primary education and to facilitate the learning process itself, thus laying the groundwork for the establishment of a fully inclusive and development-oriented information society and knowledge economy that respects cultural and linguistic diversity.
10. 信息和通信技术（信通技术）及基础设施作为日常工作和互动的组成部分，其重要性与日俱增。推动这一进程需要我们扫除各种障碍，使人们均能普遍、随时随地、公平并以可承受的价格获得信息。我们要消除在弥合数字鸿沟方面遇到的障碍，特别是那些阻碍各国、尤其是发展中国家充分实现经济、社会和文化发展和为其国民、特别是青年谋幸福的障碍。信通技术在扩大优质教育、普及文化和初级教育以及促进学习本身等诸多方面蕴含着巨大潜力，从而为建立一个尊重文化和语言多样性、充分包容和面向发展的信息社会和知识经济奠定基础。
