ICT and Communication
- ICT enhances communication through fast, accessible messaging (instant messaging, social media, video calls), and improves information sharing in businesses, schools, and governments.
- Social media platforms (Facebook, WhatsApp) allow instant connection with friends and family regardless of location.
- Online communities (forums, groups) allow individuals to connect with others based on shared interests, fostering global connections and experiences.
- Virtual communication (video calls, messaging apps) enables meaningful conversations without requiring physical presence.
Computer Definition and Components
- A computer is an electronic device that processes data for tasks such as calculations, storage, and communication.
- Input devices (keyboard, mouse) allow users to enter data.
- Processing Unit (CPU) is the computer's "brain" that executes instructions.
- Memory (RAM, storage) temporarily stores data (RAM) and permanently stores data (storage, HDD/SSD).
- Output devices (monitor, printer) display processed information.
- Power supply provides the necessary power for the computer's operation.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
- ICT encompasses the use of technology to store, process, transmit, and retrieve information.
- ICT includes computers, the internet, telecommunications, and digital devices, aiding communication and data management.
Hardware and Software
- Hardware refers to the physical components (keyboard, monitor, CPU) of a computer.
- Software refers to the programs and applications (Windows, Microsoft Word, web browsers) that run on a computer.
- Hardware receives input from devices, processes it using the CPU, stores data in memory/storage, and displays output on devices using instructions from software.
