The purpose of this paper is to offer some critical comments about the collected articles, by introducing a point of view inspired by cultural psychology concerning information and communication technologies for development (ICT4D) research issues. This conception of ICTs highlights three fundamental aspects: the role of artifacts in mediating action that are culturally meaningful; the agency of people, and thus their responsibility as social actors; and the need for highly contextualized analysis. In the article, I will read these three points through the lenses of cultural psychology.
