The document discusses the wide-ranging impacts of information and communication technologies (ICT). ICT can empower users and participants, especially women, by providing access to information. It also impacts health through telemedicine, education by making learning more engaging, and economies by improving productivity. However, ICT use brings some disadvantages like increased health issues from extensive computer use and greater opportunities for criminal activities. Overall managing ICT's impacts requires addressing issues like the digital divide, developing ICT skills, and safeguarding personal information.

5. IMPACT ICT ON EMPOWERMENT & PARTICIPANT

6. Advantages Women are using ICTs to obtain and share information relevant to their work Women are indirect beneficiaries of ICT use in variety of context: -improvements in health care can benefit women and their families, -use of ICTs in School can improve education for girls -availability of ICTs in the communities can provide opportunities for training as well as tools that can be used by community organization that benefit women e:g(It promotes collaboration and socialization.) Next It allows women to form a community and became creators / participants. But availability of ICTs alone will not guarantee developmental benefits e:g political ,human development.

8. IMPACT ICT ON HEALTH

9. + ICT MEDICINE/HEALTH =“TELEMEDICINE/TELEHEALTH” ADVANTAGES : EXAMPLE: Communications Expert Systems Equipment ICT in Medicine

11. DISADVANTANGES Working with computers for long periods of time can cause many different kinds of health problems… Back Problems & Stress Computer vision syndrome (CVS)— eye and vision problems Next Repetitive strain injury (RSI) Computer addiction—when computer consumes entire social life Tendonitis—inflammation of tendon due to repeated motion Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS)—inflammation of nerve that connects forearm to palm

16. IMPACT ICT ON ECONOMY PRODUCTIVITY

17. Advantages

18. DISADVANTAGES Unemployment – While IT may have streamlined the business process, it has also created job redundancies, downsizing and outsourcing. Privacy – Though IT may have made the communication quicker, easier and more convenient, it also has brought along the privacy issues.

Dominant culture – While IT may have made the world a global village, it also contributed to one culture dominating another weaker one.

19. IMPACT ICT ON EDUCATION Internet: Greatest impact IMPACT TIME TIME

20. Advantages Raising Achievement Using ICT Pupils of all abilities , especially boys, find the visual nature of PowerPoint a lot more accessible. Broadband access and interactive whiteboards can bring CD ROMs and revision websites to life The media effects can help to add pace, style and fun into a lesson Data projectors & PowerPoint are tailor made for allowing students to develop their oracy & literacy skills. It gives pupils access to teaching materials that would be normally far too expensive to reproduce.

21. Disadvantages Being taught the wrong things Next Less need for schools A lot of distractions e:g:Porn,Game Music Videos Chartrooms/Messengers /Emails There is a lot of incorrect information on the internet ICT is very expensive – not all students get the same opportunities Being taught the wrong things Example: Hacking ,Creating Viruses, Plagiarism Students will learn more theory and less practical It can be boring sitting in front of a computer for a long time Computers cannot interact on a personal level e.g. fuller explanation

22. IMPACT ICT ON OPPORTUNITY

24. DISADVANTAGES: Next Higher Cost IT skills development Difficult aligning Government regulations with new technology Higher Cost Developing infrastructure lack of cost for Developing applications Difficulty to achieved Content development in various languages Higher cost Building high bandwidth communication network Difficult Managing technology refresh for continuity and growth lack of cost to manage Retaining skilled professionals (Brain drain) Difficult i identifying the right technology Higher cost Managing ICT resources Higher Cost Developing infrastructure

25. IMPACT ICT ON GOVERNMENT

27. Advantages -Government Portal Improved prediction of impacts of policy measures  more efficient implementation of government policies Improved transparency of information related to the impact of economic decisions on society Government brings value to the public service – lending further impetus to the evolution of e-Government; & With better feedback on results, e-Government will be better equipped to adjust its plans and policies to improve outcomes The availability of high quality information across a whole sector is a powerful driving force for working together in new ways to improve service to the public Government’s appeal to investors and business partners rests in part on the effective, reliable and accessible delivery of services to business, such as quick and easy processes for starting up an enterprise Increased trust of stakeholders and the public at large in governance Facilitate the consumer transition from ‘in-line’ to ‘on-line' by providing a single point of access to information and services organized according to the interests and needs of its consumers, permitting anytime, anyplace and anywhere access increasing efficiency of government operations E:g; E-Procurement

29. IMPACT ICT ON SOCIETY ICT - i.e. computer linked to all facets of society

31. Advantages Networks : LANs or WANs Communication Tele/Video Conferencing: people in different locations communicating as if they were in the same location Fax : Sending an image of a document electronically Connection Methods : Cable, radio/microwaves, infra-red, satellite, etc. Mobile telephones : Can send voice, image, text, data (from a linked computer E-mail : Message sent from 1 person to another using computers connected to a network WWW: World Wide Web – collection of pages with links to other pages (hyperlinks) Internet: Largest WAN, international network of computers connected by communication lines

35. Money and Banking Advantages: Automated Payments : Bankers Automated Clearing House (BACS) – Credits, e.g. salary payments, etc.; Debits, e.g. direct debits, loan payments, etc Smart Cards : Chip and Pin – data held on a small silicon chip rather than magnetic stripe, customer enters a pin rather than signs receipt Cheque Processing: Cheques are scanned, account numbers read (MICR) to identify the account Cash Machines: Automated Teller Machine (ATM) – “hole in the wall” access to bank accounts Home Banking : Customers use the internet or telephone to administer their account EFT : Credit/Debit card details sent for authorisation, from retailers or ATMs Credit/Debit Cards: Magnetic stripe holds the card details which are read when swiped

36. DISADVANTAGES : Next ATMs Cheques Banking from home through Internet or Telephone debit cards, credit cards etc
