Based on my understanding, this can be best attributed to access. In industrialized countries, we tend to value technology more because we are more dependent upon it. However, we also regularly trade up for a better, newer version, thus showing that we do not value the object and technology itself but rather the function of technology.
Developing countries simply do not have as much access to technologies as individuals. Also, even with access, the infrastructure is not in place for efficient technology use (i.e. the absence of phone lines, internet access, etc.). Though the technology may be valued as an expensive commodity to some, there is not yet a practical use for the technology.
Thus, value can be based on various things and differ between the two countries. Those in industrialized countries may value the function of technology, as it make their lives easier and information/communication more accessible at a quicker rate. However, they may not value the hardware itself since it is relatively replaceable. Those in developing countries may recognize the dollar value of the hardware as well as the use of the technology (as they can see how it is used in industrialized countries), but the ease of use will be very different there. Without the correct set up to use it, the hardware and technology becomes essentially useless.
*Hope this helps! This is a very generalized answer, and I did not have any two countries in mind to compare. I am also speaking from the point of view of a young woman born and raised in an industrialized country, so this may very well skew and create a biased in my answer.*
This is a virus!
Newly Industrialised Countries (NICs) Basically like China and the Maldives.
Developed Country: Industrialised countries that have a high economy and standard of living. Developing Country: A country that is poor and whose citizens are mostly agricultural workers; but want to become more advanced socially and economically.
A developing country is a country that is still not fully industrialized. Developing countries often have economic difficulties and are still trying to establish a number of industries. Developed countries are fully industrialized and can cope with many disasters on their own.
Telemedicine is technology, that is bridge between healthcare providers and patients. the necessity arises In developing Countries where no basic healthcare facility is provided. It overcomes communication barrier. In an era where technology is contributing substantially to human lives, telemedicine emerges as the leading solutions empowering both patients and care providers to reduce health care issues. Telemedicine provides better access, reduced costs, ease of usage, & improved outcomes equally to developing countries.

The difference between a RIC and a NIC is the time period. It is still rather vague, but a RIC is more likely to have been industrialised for a longer time period than a NIC.
