WHAT IS ICT?
Information and Communication Technology (ICT) opened my eyes to what this meant
in education and also in our daily lives. The term ICT simplified means any technology that has
to do with information and communication.

Information can come in many forms such as sound, video, text, and images, so when
you think of what technology it is available that produces these aspects of information and
sometimes a combination of all these, we refer to such technology as mobile phones, digital
cameras, video cameras for example.

Today information and communication technologies are the one thing and so the
repertoire of technologies expands further to encompass computers and computer-related
products, email, MMS, and other forms of communication.

We are more high-tech nowadays because we can also have platforms that we can use
to gather information and also to communicate with other people such as Facebook, Twitter,
Instagram, Wikipedia, Google and many more.

HOW ICT SIGNIFICANT THESE DAYS?

Today we do not need to go any further than our own home or even room, to see some
form of ICT in our lives. Whether it be a computer, television, or mobile phone, we all have
them in some part of our lives. In today’s society, people as consumers of ICT, all strive for the
one dream – the dream of a connected life.

This makes ICT a lifestyle choice for much of the population. In addition, this lifestyle
choice is changing the way we communicate, increasing the rate of consumerism, and changing
how we interact and gather information.

ICT has conquered and transformed many aspects of our lives to the extent that we live
in an environment that is dominated by technology. No matter how we perceive its presence,
there is no denying that it is an important part of our lives and that it is here to stay.
