6 Module Information and Communication Technology ICT Definitions

6. Module Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Definitions ICT (information and communications technology - or technologies) is an umbrella term that includes any communication device or application, encompassing: radio, television, cellular phones, computer and network hardware and software, satellite systems and so on, as well as the various services and applications associated with them, such as videoconferencing and distance learning. ICTs are often spoken of in a particular context, such as ICTs in education, health care, or libraries. http: //searchcio. techtarget. com/definition/ICT-information-and-communications-technology-or-technologies However, apart from explaining an acronym, there's no universally accepted definition of ICT. Why? Because the concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on an almost daily basis and it's difficult to keep up. ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form. For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots. http: //www. tutor 2 u. net/business/reference/what-is-ict Information and communications technology (ICT) is an extended term for information technology (IT) which stresses the role of unified communications[1] and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), computers as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware, storage, and audio-visual systems, which enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information. [2] The term ICT is also used to refer to the convergence of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic incentives (huge cost savings due to elimination of the telephone network) to merge the telephone network with the computer network system using a single unified system of cabling, signal distribution and management. https: //en. wikipedia. org/wiki/Information_and_communications_technology

Definitions Difference Between IT and ICT

ICT systemization based on the technology Traditional computer based technologies Standard office applications Word processing (e. g. MS Word, Libre. Office Writer) Spreadsheets (e. g. MS Excel, Libre. Office Calc) Database software (e. g. MS Access, Libre. Office. BASE) Presentation software (e. g. MS Powerpoint, Prezi, Libre. Office Impress) Desktop publisher (e. g. Adobe In. Design, Scribus) Graphics software (e. g. Adobe Photoshop, GIMP) Special applications Accounting package Computer Aided Design (CAD) Customer Relations Management (CRM)

ICT systemization based on the technology Digital communication technologies Communication of data by electronic means, usually over some distance is often achieved via networks of sending and receiving equipment, wires and satellite links. Internal networks Usually referred to as a local area network (LAN), this involves linking a number of hardware items. The aim of a LAN is to be able to share hardware facilities such as printers or scanners, software applications and data. External networks Often you need to communicate with someone outside your internal network, in this case you will need to be part of a wide area network (WAN). The internet is the ultimate WAN - it is a vast network of networks.
