It emphasizes the significance of digital technologies in processing, accessing, and sharing information, as well as their impact on various sectors like education and industry. Furthermore, it discusses the shift from print to digital formats and the challenges and advantages associated with the integration of ICT in everyday life.

1. What is Information?
•is associated with data and knowledge,
as information is data in context and
with meaning attached
•is stimuli that has meaning in some

computer to another, or from one
device to another. A communications
device, therefore, is any machine that
assists data transmission.
•For example, modems, cables,
and ports are all communications
devices.

3. What is Technology?
•The application of scientific knowledge to the
practical aims of human life
•Is science or knowledge put into practical use
to solve problems or invent useful tools.
•Is the collection of techniques, skills, methods,
and processes used in the production
of goods or services or in the accomplishment
of objectives, such as scientific investigation.

4. What is ICT
Information
Communication
Technologies
ICT are the hardware and software that
