For children Historians: ICT (information communication technology) over the years has dramatically changed and has had a huge impact on our society, the media and the economy. Before they didn't have computers, even if they had computers they weren't as good as the computers now. Also, now we have all the facilities that is useful for our everyday life, on the computer. For example, at home we can do our distance learning. In today's life we can get digital education. In school, we use the interactive whiteboard and the teacher can change the size of the writing if the students have any problem with reading from the board. The teachers can also use videos, different images which could be related to the topic and this could be very helpful for the children. 50 years ago they didn't have those facilities for education. Students only had a text book and few pens but not good as now, so they had real difficulties on that time with their education but now we don't have any difficulties with our education because of the massive changes to the ICT which changed our life style.
