ICT
(Information and
Communication
Technology)
What is ICT?
•Information and communications technology (ICT) is the use of computer and
telecommunications systems, tools, and techniques to simplify the creation, collection,
processing, transmission, and storage of information. In addition to the wired and wireless
communication technologies that support telephones, the Internet, the Internet of Things (IoT),
and the metaverse, it also comprises computing technologies like servers, laptop computers, and
software applications. ICT aims to increase access to information and facilitate more effective
human-to-human, human-to-machine, and machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
•The infrastructure and telecom parts that permit synchronous and asynchronous
communication over short and long distances are included under this general heading. It includes
cloud computing and telecommunications services, as well as the governance guidelines that
support their use.
•ICT is essential to modern civilization because it fosters global connectedness, drives innovation,
and increases productivity. Its significance cannot be emphasized.
ICT Evolution Across Time
•The telegraph and telephone were invented in the 19th century, which is
when the idea of ICT first emerged. These two innovations made it
possible for individuals to speak with each other in real time or almost
real time, redefining the way people worked and interacted socially.
•In circumstances where the difference between the two is crucial, using IT and
ICT interchangeably can cause misunderstanding. For instance, a job
advertisement requesting IT expertise can differ from one requesting ICT
competence because the latter may seek for extra abilities that particularly
support tools for collaboration and communication.
ICT is a general word that includes
both IT and communication
technologies, but IT is often thought
of as a subset of ICT that deals with
the technical aspects of handling
information.
•A wide range of information, telecommunication, and support tools and services are
included in information and communication technology, which collectively enable
communication.
The economic environment and workforce dynamics have changed as a result of ICT.
By allowing for smooth cross-border transactions and interactions, e-commerce has opened up new options for
both consumers and enterprises. By utilizing IT and communication technologies to enhance public services,
municipal infrastructure, and transportation, smart cities are enhancing urban living.
The fusion of communication and information technologies has had an immense impact on society. Organizations
are finding it important to consistently reevaluate their best practices for sharing digital information, and
governments are continuously searching for solutions to minimize the digital gap as technology and collaboration
tools evolve.
Digital literacy is now a skill that everyone needs to have. The digital economy has created new job kinds,
increased productivity, and given workers new opportunities to remotely collaborate from almost anywhere they
can access the internet.
ICT has also had significant negative consequences on the environment. Data centers and electronic gadgets
consume a lot of energy to run, and as technology continues to advance, more and more out-of-date equipment
is being thrown away, which has resulted in an increase in e-waste. This garbage frequently contains
potentially harmful substances that contaminate the environment and could endanger people's health.
People, companies, and governments need to be aware of both the advantages and difficulties of ICT's impact
on society as ICT continues to grow and becomes more like an essential utility than something good to have.
The following are examples of best practices for fostering worldwide connectivity, diversity, and environmental
responsibility:
