3. Information Communication Technology
is often used as an extended synonym
for information technology (IT), but is a more
specific term that stresses the role of unified
communications 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.

5. Premechanical
When humans first started communicating they would try to use
language or simple picture drawings known as petroglyths which
were usually carved in rock.
Mechanical
The mechanical age is when we first start to see connections
between our current technology and its ancestors.
Electromechanical
These are the beginnings of telecommunication.
 Alexander Graham Bell in 1876 invented telephone.
 Guglielmo Marconi (1894) developed first radio.
Electronic
The electronic age is what we currently live in. It can be defined
as the time between 1940 and right now.

IMPORTANCE

7. •ICT is increasing in importance in people’s lives and it is
expected that this trend will continue, to the extent that ICT
literacy will become a functional requirement for people’s work,
social, and personal lives.
•ICT includes the range of hardware and software devices and
programmes. It also includes the communications equipment
through which people seek and access information including the
Internet, email and video conferencing.
•The use of ICT in appropriate contexts in education can add
value in teaching and learning, by enhancing the effectiveness of
learning. ICT may also be a significant motivational factor in
students’ learning, and can support students’ engagement with
collaborative learning.

9. Radio is the most powerful instrument for the mass
communication
Radio sets are cheap and easily available Information can
be communicated immediately
News at the fixed time
Blessing for the blind

visual images and sound
that are reproduced on
screens, chiefly used to
broadcast programs for
entertainment,
information, and
education

11. Television is a powerful medium. which, like
the film, is a audio-visual. Its ability to
transmit live events as they are going on
makes it the most powerful medium for mass
communication. With teleconferencing, the
television can transmit things happening at
more than one place at once

12. tel·e·phone
noun
a system that converts
acoustic vibrations to
electrical signals in order to
transmit sound, typically
voices, over a distance using
wire or radio.

13. Electronic mail (e-mail) is the exchange of
text messages and computer files
transmitted via communications networks
such as the Internet (Nwosu, 2004).
E-mail

14. Short message service(SMS)
Is a text messaging
service component of phone,
web, or mobile
communication systems, using s
tandardized communications prot
ocols that allow the exchange of

20. Mockup Software
In manufacturing and design, a mockup, or mock-up, is
a scale or full-size model of a design or device, used for
teaching, demonstration, design evaluation, promotion, and
other purposes. A mockup is a prototype if it provides at least
part of the functionality of a system and enables testing of a
design. Mock-ups are used by designers mainly to acquire
feedback from users. Mock-ups address the idea captured in a
popular engineering one-liner: You can fix it now on the drafting
board with an eraser or you can fix it later on the construction
site with a sledge hammer.
Automotive devices Consumer goods
Systems engineering Furniture and cabinetry
Military acquisition Software Engineering

21. Project Management Software
Project management software has the capacity to
help plan, organize, and manage resource pools and
develop resource estimates. Depending on the
sophistication of the software, it can
manage estimation and planning, scheduling, cost
control and budget management, resource allocation,
collaboration software, communication, decision-
making, quality management and documentation or
administration systems. Today, numerous PC & browser
based project management software exist and they are
finding their way into almost every type of business
