INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY: AN OVERVIEW
The concept of technology has evolved throughout the years. As the rate of
human progress continues to increase, society has adapted in such a way that
technology no longer appeals to mechanical or electrical systems alone

INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY: AN OVERVIEW

ICT “INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY”

was defined in a study conducted by Zuppo (2012) as “ related to technologies that
facilitate the transfer of information and various types of electronically mediated
communication.”

Zuppo created an ict hierarchy to identify key aspects such as:

ICT is ubiquitous and access to it is relatively affordable and

somewhat effortless. This makes the demand much higher as
different sectors, industries, and organizations now also
incorporate ICT in their daily business process.

IT VERSUS ICT

?
When do we use the term ICT and how does it differ from
IT? ICT, or Information and Communications technology, is
often used in a more general sense, and is described as
using computers and other digital technologies to assist
individuals or institutions in handling or using information.

IT, or Information technology, pertains to the

industry that involves computers, software,
networking, and other IT infrastructure to help
relay or manage information important in
modern-day living as seen primarily in large
companies or corporations.

ICT is technology that supports activities

involving information such as gathering,
processing, storing, and presenting data.
Increasingly, these activities also involve
collaboration and communication.

Simply put, IT is a subset of ICT as the technology used in the field of IT aids in the use of ICT

EVOLUTION OF TECHNOLOGY

COMPUTER A computer is an electronic device, operating under the control of instructions stored
in its own memory, that can accept data, manipulate the data according to specified
rules , produce results, and store the results for future use.

AUTOMATION Automation is defined as “ the technique of making an apparatus, a process, or

system operate automatically”.
Automation includes a broad range of technologies normally connecting computer
system to other systems, such as sensors, wireless applications, expert system
integration, among others.
The integration is made in such a way that these interconnected systems are capable
of self-acting or self-regulation.
Automated systems can reduce the instances errors, which usually cause by human-
based decision and comprehension.

INTELLIGENT SYSTEM
Intelligent systems are far more complex and are capable of learning. This is where
the concept of artificial intelligence comes in. One of the latest inventions in the
automotive industry is the intelligent car which is capable of driving and parking by
itself.
