What is ICT?

Stands for "Information and Communication Technologies." ICT refers to technologies

that provide access to information through telecommunications. It is similar
to Information Technology (IT), but focuses primarily on communication technologies.
This includes the Internet, wireless networks, cell phones, and other communication
mediums.

In the past few decades, information and communication technologies have provided
society with a vast array of new communication capabilities. For example, people can
communicate in real-time with others in different countries using technologies such
as instant messaging, voice over IP (VoIP), and video-conferencing. Social
networking websites like Facebook allow users from all over the world to remain in
contact and communicate on a regular basis.

Modern information and communication technologies have created a "global village,"

in which people can communicate with others across the world as if they were living
next door. For this reason, ICT is often studied in the context of how modern
communication technologies affect society.

Advantages of ICT
1. Education- computer’s along with their programs and the internet have created
educational opportunities not available to previous generations.

2. Lack of Job Security- expert’s in a wide variety of fields believe that ICT has made
job security is a big issue, since technology keeps on changing nearly everyday.

3. Overriding Cultures- while ICT may have made the world a global village, it has also
contributed to one culture consuming another weaker one.

4. Privacy- though information technology may have made communication quicker,

easier, and more convenient, it has also brought along privacy issues.

5. Reliance on Technology- Professor Ian Robertson, a neuropsychology expert based

at Trinity College Dublin who carried out the study, said: “People have more to
remember these days, and they are relying on technology for their memory but the less
you use of your memory.

 What is ICT?
Information and communications technology (ICT) refers to all the technology used to
handle telecommunications, broadcast media, intelligent building management
systems, audiovisual processing and transmission systems, and network-based control
and monitoring functions.

Although ICT is often considered an extended synonym for information technology (IT),
its scope is more broad.

ICT has more recently been used to describe the convergence of several technologies
and the use of common transmission lines carrying very diverse data and
communication types and formats.
Converging technologies that exemplify ICT include the merging of audiovisual,
telephone and computer networks through a common cabling system. Internet service
providers (ISPs) commonly provide internet, phone and television services to homes
and businesses through a single optical cable.

The elimination of the telephone networks has provided huge economic incentives to
implement this convergence, which eliminates many of the costs associated with
cabling, signal distribution, user installation, servicing and maintenance costs.

 Information and Communications
Technology

Information and communications technology (ICT) is an extensional term for information technology (IT)
that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration
of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals) and computers, as well as
necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audiovisual systems, that enable users to access,
store, transmit, and manipulate information.

The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audiovisual and telephone
networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic
incentives to merge the telephone network with the computer network system using a single unified
system of cabling, signal distribution, and management. ICT is an umbrella term that includes any
communication device, encompassing radio, television, cell phones, computer and network hardware,
satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and appliance with them such as video
conferencing and distance learning.

ICT is a broad subject and the concepts are evolving. It covers any product that will store, retrieve,
manipulate, transmit, or receive information electronically in a digital form (e.g., personal computers,
digital television, email, or robots). For clarity, Zuppo provided an ICT hierarchy where all levels of the
hierarchy "contain some degree of commonality in that they are related to technologies that facilitate the
transfer of information and various types of electronically mediated communications" Theoretical
differences between interpersonal-communication technologies and mass-communication technologies
have been identified by the philosopher Piyush Mathur. Skills Framework for the Information Age is one
of many models for describing and managing competencies for ICT professionals for the 21st century.
