14. Information
Technology
(IT)
Informa2on
technology
(IT)
is
the
applica2on
of
computers
to
store,
retrieve,
transmit
and
manipulate
data,
oUen
in
the
context
of
a
business
or
other
enterprise.
The
term
is
commonly
used
as
a
synonym
for
computers
and
computer
networks,
but
also
encompasses
other
informa2on
distribu2on
technologies
such
as
television
and
telephones.

15. Information
&
Communications
Technology
(ICT)
Informa2on
and
Communica2ons
Technology
or
ICT,
is
oUen
used
as
an
extended
synonym
for
informa2on
technology
(IT),
but
is
a
more
specific
term
that
stresses
the
role
of
unified
communica2ons
and
integra2on
of
telecommunica2ons
(telephone
lines
and
wireless
signals),
computers
as
well
as
necessary
systems
and
applica2ons
soUware,
middleware,
storage,
and
audio-­‐visual
systems,
which
enable
users
to
access,
store,
transmit,
and
manipulate
informa2on.

16. Innovation
Innova1on
simply
put
is
finding
a
different
way
of
doing
something
be]er!
This
can
accomplished
through
more
effec5ve
products,
processes,
services,
technologies,
or
through
new
ideas
that
are
made
available
to
markets,
governments
and
society.
Innova1on
can
be
divided
into
two
broad
categories:
• Evolu2onary
innova5on
(con5nuous
or
dynamic
evolu5onary
innova5on)
that
are
brought
about
by
many
incremental
advances
in
technology
or
processes
• Revolu2onary
innova5on
(also
called
discon5nuous
innova5ons)
which
are
ocen
disrup5ve
and
new.
Innova5on
differs
from
inven2on
in
that
innova5on
refers
to
the
use
of
a
be]er
and,
as
a
result,
novel
idea
or
method,
whereas
inven5on
refers
more
directly
to
the
crea5on
of
the
idea
or
method
itself.
Innova5on
differs
from
improvement
in
that
innova5on
refers
to
the
no5on
of
doing
something
different
rather
than
doing
the
same
thing
be]er.

the

that

might
afford
