 ICT is an expansion on the term
information technology (IT or Computer)

 ICT has become an integral and accepted


part of everyday life for many people

 ICT is increasing in importance in people’s


lives to the extent that ICT literacy is now a
functional requirement for people’s work,
social, and personal lives.
 The Internet, Global System of Mobile
Telecommunication (GSM), and Satellite
Communication (cable-TV networks)
are perhaps the most influential of all
Information and Communication
Technologies (ICTs) in modern digital
society, personal computers, scanners,
digital cameras, multimedia
programmes, image-editing software,
database and spreadsheet
programmes.
 It is a Concept- no definite definition
 Let’s focus on the three words behind
Information, Communication and
Technology: -
 If you are information literate you can manage the
masses of information being directed at you every
day.

 In the global market global communication skills


are vital to survival. You need to be aware of the
various social protocols around the world.

 You need to be good at building, maintaining and


participating in global teams.

 You need to be self-directed. (If you need a


boss/lecturer to tell you what to do you are
expensive and slow.)
WHAT IS INTERNET.?

It is a network of networks that


consist of millions of private and
public , academic, business and
government networks of local to
global scope that are linked by a
broad array of electronic and
optical networking technologies.
