Frog Princess

The concept of X is being used in the context of sustainable development for developing countries as a theory of development which may accelerate development by skipping inferior, less efficient, more expensive or more polluting technologies and industries and move directly to more advanced ones. It is proposed that through X developing countries can avoid environmentally harmful stages of development and do not need to follow the polluting development trajectory of industrialized countries.

Example of X is a 
country which moves directly from having no telephones to having cellular phones, skipping the stage of copperwire landline telephones altogether.
