In this research, First use of countries of Internet technology in various cases has analyzed. Then with the analysis of the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats (SWOT), the effects of technology on environment sustainable development is investigated. Results showed that these effects are both positive and negative. For example, the possibility of monitoring the environment, creating a smart grid systems, the possibility of digital download to reducion traditional physical products and lifestyle changes (green consumerism) are the positive effects and the high energy consumption of hosting equipment of data centers of ICT, waste electronics, harmful emission are the negative effects of using ICT in the process of sustainable development. Generally correct use of information and communication technology causes promotion of environmental planning and management capacity, natural disaster management, increasing energy efficiency on a global scale, the emergence of "Green Economy" as a new engine of growth economy around the world. On the other hand restricting factors such as access to the technology, the infrastructures and sharing, and security of information, cost and lack of possibility of proper recycling of electronics will prevent you from using all the potentials of this technology. Therefore, use of these technologies with respect to all aspects of cultural, economic, political and social are essential in order to preservation and promotion of environmental quality in line with sustainable development.
