What is ICT?

However, apart from explaining an acronym, there is not a universally accepted definition of ICT? Why? Because the concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on an almost daily basis. Its difficult to keep up with the changes - they happen so fast.

ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Technology

A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals, businesses and organisations use information.

ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form. For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots.

So ICT is concerned with the storage, retrieval, manipulation, transmission or receipt of digital data. Importantly, it is also concerned with the way these different uses can work with each other.

ICT is very vast and broad, as such there is practically NO LIMIT to its applications, however I will be discussing the most popular and relevant areas of ICT

THE TIME TO START IS NOW!!!

As Human beings, we’ve become accustomed to blaming others for our failures.

But if we must move forward, we must become responsible for everything that happens to US – either GOOD or BAD!

What is Our Excuse?

Who are your friends? How often do you get relevant info? If you have a laptop, what are you doing on

it? How do you utilize the internet?

A Few Questions

Remember: If you are not INFORMED, you will be DEFORMED. It is the amount of Information that you receive that will REFORM you,
