CONTENT FOCUS:

ICT - (Information and Communication Technology) - deals with the use of different
communication technologies such as mobile phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to locate,
save, send and edit information.
In essence, ICT generally deals with the interconnection between different technology-
related platforms such as the Internet, the softwares and hardwares used, the cloud, the
data being exchanged, and the transactions or the act of doing the exchange itself.
ICT is the technology required for information processing, in particular, the use of
electronic computers, communication devices and software applications to convert,
store, protect, process, transmit and retrieve information from anywhere, anytime.
Here’s a PDF file for you to read more about the background of what is ICT.

Let us now define Information, Communication and Technology one by one.
Information – facts provided or learned about something or someone.
It refers to the knowledge obtained from reading, investigation, study or research.

Communication – The imparting or exchanging of information or news.

It is an act of transmitting messages.
It is a process whereby information is exchanged between individuals using symbols,
signs or verbal interactions.

The Evolution of Communication:

Pigeon → Morse code → Telephone → Internet → Smart Phone

Technology – Technology is the use of scientific knowledge, experience and resources

to create processes and products that fulfil human needs.
It is one of the most powerful agents of change in our society.
It is a body of knowledge devoted in creating tools, processing actions and extracting of
materials.
We apply technology in almost everything we do in our lives, we use technology at
work, communication, transportation, learning, manufacturing, creating artifacts,
securing data, scaling businesses and so much more.
