LESSON 1: INTRODUCTION TO ICT

Information and Communications Technology (ICT):

 is the use of computing and telecommunication technologies, systems and tools to
facilitate the way information is created, collected, processed, transmitted and stored.

applications, as well as the wired and wireless communication technologies that support
telephones, the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT) and the metaverse.

WORLD WIDE WEB

 The World Wide Web is a system of interlinked, hypertext documents accessed via the
Internet. It was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989.

 The documents and other resources located from different terminals and web pages with
their unique uniform resource locator (URL)can be interlinked through the internet.

 The World Wide Web, or simply a Web, is a way of accessing information over the
medium of the internet.

LABELS OF THE LINK (PICTURE)

 Green: Identifies the location of the document on the internet
 Black: Identifies the resource name

LESSON 2: TRENDS IN ICT

CONVERGENT TECHNOLOGIES
 Can be associated with any technology that applies the process of convergence
 Technical convergence is a theoretical perspective where different technologies are
