INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

The second of the three influences on the

emergence of Trends is Information and
communication (ICT)
WHAT IS INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY (ICT)?

Information and Communication Technology

enables the various forms of communication that
we enjoy today, for instance, the internet, which
paved the way for social networks such as
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc.
WHAT IS INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION
TECHNOLOGY (ICT)?

The role of information and communication

technology is the emergence and progression of
trends is characterized by enhancing media
innovation to futher improve information
dissemination.
According to United Nations Educational, Scientific and
Cultural Organization (UNESCO), ICT is the collective term
that refers to:

 The tools and the processes to access, retrieve, store,

organize, exchange information, by electronic and other
automated means.

 These include hardsware, software, and telecommunications

in the forms of personal computers, scanners, digital
cameras, phones, DVD players and recorders, database
programmes and multimedia programmes etc.
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

 ICTs are mechanisms that help us in transmitting, receiving,

storing, accessing, and processing information through electronic
media.

 This definition enables us to include computers and

telecommunication devices while conveniently excluding printed
media such as books, magazines and newspapes, yet admits their
digital versions such as e-books, and e-journals, among others.
THE HISTORY OF ICT

In laying out a brief history of development of ICT,

we will not go as far back as when the abacus was
invented around 3000 B.C., although that was how
it all started.
THE HISTORY OF ICT

 The calculators that we are familiar with today

were first developed during the early 19th century –
long after the discovery of electricity in the 1780s.
 A decade after, what can be regarded as the
defining moment for ICT was the creation of the
World Wide Web – what we know today as the
internet – in 1991 by Tim Lee.
THE HISTORY OF ICT

Recent developments in ICT are basically characterized by

improvements on existing technology.
 Desktop computers were made more mobile through
laptops and tablets.
 Mobile phones, aside from being just tools for
communication, are able to integrate other ICT innovations
such as internet access, camera, television, data storage,
calculators etc.
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE
WHAT IS DIGITAL DIVIDE?

The natural consequence of advancements in ICT

is what is referred to as the DIGITAL DIVIDE, which
refers to the discrepancy in people’s access and
skill related to ICT.
This may be caused by a number of factors such as
geographical location, economy, income, age,
education, race, and government support.
THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

 In order for everyone to maximize the potential and

benefits of ICT, the gap caused by the digital divide mus
be filled. This can be done in a variety of ways but will
only come so far withour government support.
 However, we cannot expect individual governments to
be able to do this alone especially those who belong to
poor developing countries.
THE EFFECTS OF
ADVANCEMENTS IN ICT
EFFECTS OF ADVANCEMENTS IN ICT

Accoording to the United Nations Conference on Trade

and Development, the effects of ICT in country are
influenced by three factors, namely;
 Existing ICT infrastructure;
 Level of education, skills, and income, in country;
 ICT policy and regulation of the government and the
level of e-government.
EFFECTS OF ADVANCEMENTS IN ICT

These aforementioned factors influenced the

supply and demand of ICT in a given country that
in turn influence the impacts of ICT.
THE EFFECTS ON
CITIZENS PERCEPTIONS
EFFECTS ON CITIZEN PARTICIPATIONS

ICT has become a very potent tool in increasing

citizen participation in the affairs of a country.
Through technologies such as computers, mobile
phones, and the internet, information has never
become more accessible to citizen who have
access to these technologies.
EFFECTS ON CITIZEN PARTICIPATIONS

In many instances, e-government can also facilitate

transactionsconducted by the citizens with
government branches. Faster an more efficient
communication between government agencies is also
enables by ICT infrastructures, which encourage more
citizens to avail of government services, given that
the processes are expredited through ICT innovations.
THE EFFECTS ON
ECONOMIC
PERFORMANCE
EFFECTS ON ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE

The application of ICT has brought considerable

economic advantage to many countries today, in
an era when access to information is of paramount
importance.
EFFECTS ON ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE

The various aforementioned impact areas of ICT,

which benefit from the utilization of ICT
equipment and infrastructure contribute to the
growth of the economy of a given country. ICT has
an effect, either directly or indirectly on a nation’s
economic performance.
EFFECTS ON ECONOMIC PERFORMANCE

The downside, aside from increased reliance on

ICT to improve the economy, is the use if ICT
equipment and infrastructure for non-work related
endeavors such as watching videos on YouTube or
checking Facebook during office hours; crimes
such as theft, cyber-attacks, and hacking.
THE EFFECTS ON
EDUCATION
EFFECTS ON EDUCATION

In the field of education, ICT has provided avenues

that enhance communication of knowledge and
facilitate the learning process.
EFFECTS ON EDUCATION

ICT also influences recent developments in

contemporary approaches to instruction as well as
conducting inquiries, correspondences, and
transactions between the school and current and
prospective students, alumni, parents, and
benefactors, among others.
EFFECTS ON EDUCATION

However, ICT also brings certain disadvantages

particularly in the attitude that students develop
having such easy access to information. There is a
risk that students may not be able to differentiate
between reliable and dubious information when
conducting research for homework, term papers
or reports.
EFFECTS ON EDUCATION

Another downside is that students may get used

to information being spoon-fed to them and
readily accessible through online sources. There is
the risk that students may not bother to conduct
any form of verification and accept the
information at face value
EFFECTS ON EDUCATION

The students may trust that both their teachers and

online sources have conducted due diligence in
verifying the truth of the information that they
disseminate which can have detrimental effects to
their education. This may hinder them from
developing their research skills through reading books,
conducting studies and doing thought or scientific
experiments.
THE EFFECTS ON
EMPLOYMENT AND
POVERTY ALIEVIATION
EFFECTS ON EMPLOYMENT AND
POVERTY ALIEVIATION

The emergence and spread of ICT have definitive

effects on employment because of the jobs that it
has created. On the one hand, research,
development, and manufacturing of ICT-related
infrastructure and equipment involve hiring of
employees ranging from construction laborers to
scientists and engineers.
EFFECTS ON EMPLOYMENT AND
POVERTY ALIEVIATION

However, developments in ICT have also spawned

a number of crimes such as piracy, copyright
infringement, child pornography, cybersex, and
theft, among others, which are considered as
sources of employment by some.
THE EFFECTS ON
HEALTH
EFFECTS ON HEALTH

Apart from bringing enormous benefits in health research,

ICT has also been of great value through practical health-
related applications.
 For example, the use of mobile phones and devices such
as the Samsung S Gear to monitor pulse, calories burned
during exercise, nutritional intake per meal, and
reminders for meds, to name a few, has been very helpful
in maintaining a healthy lifestyle for a number of people.

 Pornography consumption also has adverse psychological

effects. And the improper dispocal of ICT equipment also
has accompanying health risk.
THE EFFECTS ON
INDIVIDUALS AND
COMMUNITIES
EFFECT ON INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES

The positive and negative effects of ICT are very

evident on individuals and communities In terms
of connectivity, friends and families are able to
communicate over long distances through cellular
phones, e-mail, video calls, and social nerworking.
EFFECT ON INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES

People are able to accomplish more things in less

time which saves, time, energy and money, which
can in turn be spent on other thingssuch as
bonding with the family, among others.
EFFECT ON INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES

The rate occasions that she is with friends are

often spent on the phone or tablet than engaging
in actual conversations. Internet has also become
an avenue for children to get access to contents
that are not appropriate for their age.
THE EFFECTS ON
INNOVATION AND
RESEARCH
EFFECT ON INNOVATION AND RESEARCH

ICT has the most effect wald be innovation and

research, Innovation is characterized by
introducing something new with the result of
improving that onto which the innovation is
introduced.
EFFECT ON INNOVATION AND RESEARCH

Innovation would not be possible without a

certain degree of research on ICT. Thus, from the
onset. ICT has already had its effect on innovation
and research, and vice versa.
EFFECT ON INNOVATION AND RESEARCH

ICT is perceived as an importa innovation, in itself. It does

not only improve the proceses done in the fields of, for
instance, business, education health, and security, but
more importantly, facilitates the efficient conducting of
research by poople involved in these areas in relation to
the effective performance of their responsibilities.
THE EFFECTS ON
PRIVACY AND SECURITY
EFFECT ON PRIVACY AND SECURITY

In terms of privacy and security, the application of ICT

Thus had its fair share of positive and negative
effects. With regard to the positive, installation of
surveillance cameras on the streets and inside homes
and business establishments has increased the
security of citizens and has helped law enforcers, in
many instances, to capture those who violate the law.
EFFECT ON PRIVACY AND SECURITY

ICT has also made it possible to monitor ongoing

crimes or calamities through radio and mobile
phone communication, media coverage, and social
media platforms that enable concerned
government agencies to respond much faster.
EFFECT ON PRIVACY AND SECURITY

Negative effects, ICT has also made it relatively

easier to invade privacy or subvert security in
many ways. For instance, leaked private
photographs or videos of people is common on
the Internet today.
EFFECT ON PRIVACY AND SECURITY

On top of everything, the increasing reliance of

the globalized world on ICT has put many of our
resources at risk because of the ever-present
possibility that ICT equipment and infrastructures
may fail to function anytime.
