Beschreibung:
The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic incentives (huge cost savings due to elimination of the telephone network) to merge the telephone network with the computer network system using a single unified system of cabling, signal distribution and management.

is an extended term for information technology (IT) which stresses the role of unied communications[1] and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), computers as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audiovisual systems, which enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information.[2]
the United Nations creating a "United Nations Information and Communication Technologies Task Force" and an internal Oce of Information and Communications Technology.[10]
2 Monetization of ICT
The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of
audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic incentives (huge cost savings due to elimination of the telephone network) to merge the telephone network with the computer network system using a single unied system of cabling, signal distribution and management.
The money spent on IT worldwide has been most recently
estimated as US $3.5 trillion and is currently growing at 6% per year doubling every 15 years. The 2014 IT budget of US federal government is nearly $82 billion.[11] IT costs, as a percentage of corporate revenue, have grown 50% since 2002, putting a strain on IT budgets. When looking at current companies IT budgets, 75% are recurrent costs, used to keep the lights on in the IT departare cost of new initiatives for technology However, ICT has no universal denition, as the con- ment, and 25% [12] development. cepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on an almost daily basis.[3] The broad- The average IT budget has the following breakdown:[12] ness of ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electroni 31% personnel costs (internal) cally in a digital form, e.g. personal computers, dig 29% software costs (external/purchasing category) ital television, email, robots.

Etymology 4 ICT Development Index
The phrase information and communication technology
has been used by academic researchers since the 1980s,[6] and the abbreviation ICT became popular after it was used in a report to the UK government by Dennis Stevenson in 1997,[7] and in the revised National Curriculum for England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2000. But in 2012, the Royal Society recommended that ICT should no longer be used in British schools as it has attracted too many negative connotations,[8] and with eect from 2014 the National Curriculum uses the word computing, which reects the addition of computer programming into the curriculum.[9]
The ICT Development Index ranks and compares the
level of ICT use and access across the various countries around the world.[14] In 2014 ITU (International Communications Union) released the latest rankings of the IDI, with Denmark attaining the top spot, followed by South Korea. The top 30 countries in the rankings include most high-income countries where quality of life is higher than average, which includes countries from Europe and other regions such as Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Japan, Macao (China), New Zealand, Singapore and the United States; almost all countries surveyed improved their IDI Variations of the phrase have spread worldwide, with ranking this year.[15] 1

velopment goals
On 21 December 2001, the United Nations General Assembly approved Resolution 56/183, endorsing the holding of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS) to discuss the opportunities and challenges facing todays information society.[16] According to this resolution, the General Assembly related the Summit to the United Nations Millennium Declaration's goal of implementing ICT to achieve Millennium Development Goals. It also emphasized a multi-stakeholder approach to achieve these goals, using all stakeholders including civil society and the private sector, in addition to governments.
In modern society ICT is ever-present, with over three
billion people having access to the Internet.[19] With approximately 8 out of 10 Internet users owning a smartphone, information and data are increasing by leaps and bounds.[20] This rapid growth, especially in developing countries, has led ICT to become a keystone of everyday life, in which life without some facet of technology renders most of clerical, work and routine tasks dysfunctional. The most recent authoritative data, released in 2014, shows that Internet use continues to grow steadily, at 6.6% globally in 2014 (3.3% in developed countries, 8.7% in the developing world); the number of Internet users in developing countries has doubled in ve years (2009-2014), with two thirds of all people online now living in the developing world.[15]
To help anchor and expand ICT to every habitable part
of the world, 2015 is the deadline for achievements of However, hurdles are still at large. Of the 4.3 billion the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which people not yet using the Internet, 90% live in developing global leaders agreed upon in the year 2000.[17] countries. In the worlds 42 Least Connected Countries (LCCs), which are home to 2.5 billion people, access to ICTs remains largely out of reach, particularly for these countries large rural populations.[21] ICT has yet to pen6 ICT in education etrate the remote areas of some countries, with many developing countries dearth of any type of Internet. This also includes the availability of telephone lines, particularly the availability of cellular coverage, and other forms of electronic transmission of data. The latest Measuring the Information Society Report cautiously stated that the increase in the aforementioned cellular data coverage is ostensible, as many users have multiple subscriptions, with global growth gures sometimes translating into little real improvement in the level of connectivity of those at the very bottom of the pyramid; an estimated 450 million people worldwide live in places which are still out of reach of mobile cellular service.[19]
Todays society shows the ever-growing computer-centric
lifestyle, which includes the rapid inux of computers in the modern classroom.
Information and Communication Technology can contribute to universal access to education, equity in education, the delivery of quality learning and teaching, teachers professional development and more ecient education management, governance and administration. UNESCO takes a holistic and comprehensive approach to promoting ICT in education. Access, inclusion and quality are among the main challenges they can address. The Organizations Intersectral Platform for ICT in education focuses on these issues through the joint work of three of its sectors: Communication & Information, Education and Science.[18]
Favorably, the gap between the access to the Internet
and mobile coverage has decreased substantially in the last fteen years, in which 2015 is the deadline for achievements of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which global leaders agreed upon in the year 2000, and the new data show ICT progress and highlight remaining gaps deadline for achievements of the UN Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), which global leaders agreed upon in the year 2000, and the new data show ICT progress and highlight remaining gaps.[17] ICT continues to take on new form, with nanotechnology set to usher in a new wave of ICT electronics and gadgets. ICT newest editions into the modern electronic world include smart watches, such as the Apple Watch, smart wristbands such as the Nike+ FuelBand, and smart TVs such as Google TV. With desktops soon becoming part of a bygone era, and laptops becoming the preferred method of computing, ICT continues to insinuate and alter itself in the ever-changing globe. Information communication technologies play a role in facilitating accelerated pluralism in new social move-
3 ments today. The internet according to Bruce Bimber is accelerating the process of issue group formation and action[22] and coined the term accelerated pluralism to explain this new phenomena. ICTs are tools for enabling social movement leaders and empowering dictators[23] in eect promoting societal change. ICTs can be used to garner grassroots support for a cause due to the internet allowing for political discourse and direct interventions with state policy[24] as well as change the way complaints from the populace are handled by governments.
