ICT in a Daily Life
Information and communication technologies have greatly affected
human life. Since the industrial revolution, man has begun to
develop machines and equipment that facilitate his work.
Education
Boards, chalk, and heavy books were
overloaded with a computer board containing
all the educational courses, thus providing
greater comfort to the student and
introducing him to the world of development
since childhood.
Some schools in the world have begun to
teach the basics of programming languages
as basic materials in schools, thus creating a
scientific and cultural awareness of the
student and making him an innovative person
who makes the applications and devices he
wants on his own.
Industrial
The entry of ICT after the industrial revolution
led to the development of the machines used
and linking them to the web to send orders to
them from different sectors.
ICT has increased the productivity of
industries and reduced the time required to
achieve the desired goal.
Political and
Military Aspects
Information technology has played a major
role in the power and dominance of the state.
IThe major countries sought to develop
means of communication and means of
obtaining information about the enemy.
The amount of information available became a
serious weapon in which entire countries
could be destroyed: radars, drones.
Encrypted information is one of the
fundamentals of military power in the state.
Entertainment
Information and communication technologies
(ICT) have impacted entertainment and leisure
activities in different ways in which you spend
your time.
ICT offers a variety of entertainment and
leisure activities and allows for quick access
to movies or music that can be easily
accessed and you can watch movies and
listen to music directly from the Internet.
ICT adds more interactive technologies to TV
shows. Digital cameras, printers and scanners
have enabled more people to experience
image production, in addition to developing
graphic interfaces.
Medical Science
Medical devices and modern equipment have
evolved considerably favoring information and
communications technology.
Information and communication technologies
(ICT) are related to the devices, resources
and tools needed to improve the acquisition,
retrieval, storage and use of information in
health and biomedicine.
That is why we find that most of the medical
devices that now exist rely on information and
communication technology in the way of use,
detection and treatment of diseases.
Health informatics tools include formal
medical terms, clinical guidelines, computers,
and information and communication systems.
Finance
Information and communication technology is
used daily by financial companies, to trade
financial instruments, to report a business's
earnings, and to keep records of personal
budgets.
ICT allows rapid calculation of financial data
and provides financial services companies
with strategic and innovative benefits as well
as electronic transfer of money, through the
use of credit cards, or e-commerce, which
includes the purchase and payment via the
Internet and others.
ICT helps deal with security concerns, legal
issues and access to global markets.
Public Sector
Management
Information and communication technology (ICT) is
used to facilitate more convenient government
services, make the government more transparent and
accountable to citizens, promote a more efficient and
cost-effective government.
ICT provides greater public access to information and
constitutes opportunities for public administration that
require meeting many economic, financial, structural
and legal conditions.
ICT also allows people to perform many different
activities, such as: paying bills or renewing official
documents such as driving licenses and others over
the Internet.
Agriculture
Information and communication technology
in agriculture helps in the growing demand
for new approaches and focuses on
enhancing agricultural and rural
development through better information
and communication processes.
ICT also helps empower rural people by
providing better farming techniques, better
access to natural resources, effective
production strategies, and digital marketing
strategies for agribusiness and financial
services, etc.
Home Electronics
The use of ICT in domestic electronics is
developing rapidly. ICT equipment is
used to increase access to home care.
As it became possible to manage the
house through a system that controls
lighting, home security, air conditioning,
and others.
Business
The use of information and communications
technology is very important for businesses to
establish a hassle-free and secure communication
flow and to meet daily operational tasks.
ICT tools help companies analyze, store, process
and share vast amounts of data and make better use
of products and resources.
ICT tools also help improve profitability, reduce costs
compared to manual tasks and minimize lead times.
ICT systems allow managers and employees to make
decisions quickly and accurately so that they can
effectively manage the operations process and day-
to-day activities and rapidly predict business
opportunities or threats.
Digital Divisions in Society
DIGITAL
DIVIDE
The digital divide is a term that
refers to the gap between
demographics and regions that
have access to modern
information and communications
technology (ICT), and those that
don't or have restricted access.
This technology can include the
telephone, television, personal
computers and internet
connectivity.
DIGITAL
EQUITY
Digital equity refers to whether
people can access and effectively
use the technology necessary to
participate in modern society.
Another phrase, “digital inclusion,”
denotes efforts to remedy deficits
in digital equity. Simply put, digital
equity is what cities and states
want, and digital inclusion is the
work they and their partners are
doing to create it.
BRIDGING THE
GENERATION GAP
Diversity makes for a stronger
workforce. However, different
generations approach tasks with
different attitudes, and the
resulting communication gaps can
lead to gridlock or worse. Since
more than one-third of the
workforce is made up of
millennials and one-quarter is baby
boomers, you may get called upon
to bring some unifying magic to a
team that's at loggerheads due to
generational issues. When the
generations are meshing well in
the workplace, you'll see a high
level of employee engagement
and an improved workplace
culture across the board.
A simple example is whether the dynamics of
the classroom will change if kids come in with
their laptops, in what direction and what will be
the extent of the impact (if any).
Micros think that macros forget about pedagogy
which is what the whole thing was about and
focus instead on cool and trendy lucubrations
that have little to do with the real life of teachers
and students.
IT in
Micro-community
A simple example is whether the abundance of
(digital) information will reinforce informal
education and render formal education out-
dated and useless in the end.
Macros think that micros do not “think out of the
box” and just look at the technologies and their
role in the tiny universe of the classroom, while
forgetting about the wide (socioeconomic)
context outside of it, which is what is, in fact
ruling all changes.
IT in
Macro-community
The book, on the other hand, is a physical object.
When you turn a leaf you literally turn it. You can
feel the texture and weight of the paper. The
marks, the letters, are actual physical marks, not
pixels on a lit up screen that only represent letters,
whose real existence is in binary code. You are
directly aware of the book's beginning and end,
and if it opens up some inner, imaginative space –
that's all your work, a matter of your very own
imagination, not a matter of access to a confusing
multitude of web sites, movies, music, and games.
In other words, a physical book depends very
much on you for access. It demands your
concentration. If it doesn't get it, if you do not
yourself activate your imagination, it remains silent.
It doesn't automatically grab your attention, like the
literally dynamic smartphone.
So, it's a ”concentrator”, powerful but not very
forgiving if you're lazy.
Physical World
Regarding the smartphone you have no idea what's
going on beneath the surface. It seems highly
intuitive with its touch screen and scrolling
function, but it's all an illusion. There's no actual,
intuitively graspable relationship between the felt
movement of your finger and what's actually going
on inside. Furthermore, the possible or potential
content of what you can access via the screen is
virtually infinite, because it's connected to the cell
phone network and to the Internet. The
smartphone is a computer, giving you access to
anything a networked computer can access, which
is almost infinite. (It also makes you accessible in
ways you're probably not aware of.)
In other words, a smartphone is a great
”distractor”. It gets your attention all right, but then
it very easily scatters it.
Digital World
Democracy, Government and IT
The evolution of modern technology has allowed
digital democracy and e-governance to transform
traditional ideas on political dialogue and
accountability.
1. e-Administration – Improving government
processes by using ICTs and government process
management. No paperwork, each and every
process need to be done via the use of ICT.
2. e-Government services – Delivering government
services electronically to citizens, businesses, and
government employees. Example- application for
citizenship through the online system.
3. e-Democracy – Improving transparency and
democratic decision making, as well as citizens’
participation in public decisions. e-Voting is a perfect
example here.
4. e-Governance – It is a development, deployment,
and enforcement of the policies, laws, and
regulations necessary for developing cooperation,
networking and partnerships between government
units, citizens and the business. Citizen will get
government services using technology.
Do you have any questions?
Send it to me! I hope you learned something new.
