Information and communication technology (ICT) refers to all digital devices, networks, and applications used to share information. ICT plays a major role in communication, allowing people to stay in touch through chatting, email, social media, and more. ICT also provides many job opportunities as employers seek candidates with basic ICT skills. Additionally, ICT impacts education by enabling new ways of learning through distance education and online resources. While ICT expands access to information and opportunities for socializing, its widespread adoption can negatively impact personal interactions and reduce physical activity.
