This document provides an introduction to information and communication technology (ICT). It defines ICT as the use of electronic devices and software to store, process, transmit and retrieve information. The document then summarizes the five generations of computers from the first generation which used vacuum tubes to the emerging fifth generation focused on artificial intelligence. It discusses how ICT has changed lives and given examples of ICT's role in the Philippines such as cellphone ownership. Finally, it provides questions to help students understand the importance of ICT by interviewing a local business owner about their use of communication technologies.

6. First Generation
Time Period : 1951 to 1959
Size: Very Large System
Technology : Vacuum Tubes
Processing : Very Slow

7. ENIAC
Electronic Numerical Integrator And
Computer) was the first electronic
general-purpose computer. It was
Turing-complete, digital, and could solve
"a large class of numerical problems"
through reprogramming.

8. Second Generation
Time Period : 1959 to 1963
Technology : Transistors
Size : Smaller
Processing : Faster

9. Third Generation
Time Period : 1963 to 1975
Technology : ICs (Integrated Circuits)
Incorporated many transistors & electronic
circuits on a single chip
Size : Small as compared to 2nd generation computers
Processing : Faster then 2nd generation computers

10. Fourth Generation

11. Fifth Generation
AI – Artificial Intelligence

12. What Change?

26. ICT In the Philippines
“ICT Hub of Asia”
106.8 cellphones per 100 Filipinos in the year
2012
ICT shares19.3% in total employment
population here in the Philippines
“the selfiest cities around the world”

27. ICT, Me, and My Community
To fully understand the Importance of ICT,
let us first look at our community. Look for
a small business around your community.
Conduct a short interview of the business
owner using the following guide

28.  Company Name/Establishment Name: _________________________________
 Address:_________________________________________
 Nature of Business: _____________________________________________
Guide Question:
1.What are the different ways for customers
and/or suppliers to contact you?
2.How often do you use a phone or cellular
phone for business? Estimate only.

29. 3. Does your establishment have internet
connection? If yes, what is its purpose? If no,
would you consider having it in the future? Why
or why not?
4. Does your business have a website? If yes, how
does it help the company? If no, would you
consider having one in the future? Why or why
not?
5. (if applicable) would you consider giving free Wi-
Fi access in the future? If you already have it, does
it help boost sales?
