OTHER USE OF ICT
ICT also plays a key role in the global economy and
poverty reduction. The internet, email, collaboration
software and other ICT tools help connect all local and
central government departments, improve living
standards, assist international economic integration and
more.
Governments can use this technology to provide citizens
with convenient access to information and services. ICT
also helps strengthen the legal framework that promotes
democracy and enables information exchange between
institutions.
ADVANTAGES OF ICT
Communication - Speed / time – money can be
saved because it’s much quicker to move information
around. With the help of ICT it has become quicker
and more efficient.
Globalization - Video conferencing saves money on
flights and accommodation. ICT has not only brought
the countries and people closer together, but it has
allowed the world's economy to become a single
interdependent system to contact either a business or
family member.
Cost effectiveness - It feels free to send an email
(although it isn’t); it’s without doubt cheaper than
phone calls. ICT has also helped to automate business
practices, thus restructuring businesses to make them
exceptionally cost effective.
Greater Availability - ICT has made it possible for
businesses to be automated giving clients access to a
website or voicemail 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
Creation of new jobs - Probably, the best advantage
of ICT has been the creation of new and interesting
jobs.
Education – Computer’s along with their programs
and the Internet have created educational
opportunities not available to previous generations.
DISADVANTAGES OF ICT
Education – Computer’s along with their programs and the
Internet have created educational opportunities not available
to previous generations.
Lack of job security – ICT has made job security a big issue,
since technology keeps on changing nearly every day. This
means that individuals need to be constantly studying or at
least keeping up with changes in their profession.
Privacy - Though information technology may have made
communication quicker, easier, and more convenient, it has
also brought along privacy issues. From cell phone signal
interceptions to e-mail hacking, people are now worried about
their once private information becoming public knowledge.
Lack of experience - hard for teachers to use with a
lack of experience using ICT tools.
Reliance on Technology – People have more to
remember these days, and they are relying on
technology for their memory but the less you use of
your memory, the poorer it becomes. . people don’t
bother learning to spell because they use spell-
checker, or need a calculator do perform minor
addition or subtraction.
