Template by NUCCIT  LESSON # #1 Use the various roles of information Introduction technology in addressing real to Information world problems Argue about the Technology concept of information and (IT) and Information communication technology, what it is and how it is used Identify the Communicatio different technologies and ns Technology its improvement through the years (ICT) Template by NUCCIT 2  SECTION 1.1.A. Overview of ICT How do you communicate with friends? How do you complete schoolwork? How do you find the information you need? How do you buy things you need? How can we conduct online classes? Information technologies are powerful because people have a strong desire for information, and IT facilitates easy access to it. The world is abundant with information about our identities, residences, and means of sustenance. Until the advent of computers around 1990, this information was primarily written on paper, published in newspapers or magazines, and stored in libraries and office files. Template by NUCCIT 3  INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Information technology, commonly known as IT, is generally the use of technology to solve problems. It encompasses the utilization, creation, and oversight of computer-based systems, software, and networks for the storage, processing, transmission, and retrieval of data. It encompasses a broad spectrum of tasks, including the development of hardware and software, network administration, database management, and tech support Template by NUCCIT 4  INFORMATION COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY: There is no universal definition for ICT due to how broad it is, but it is usually agreed upon that it has more to do with communication than Information Technology does. ICT encompasses technologies facilitating communication, collaboration, and integration across various information systems. It includes telecommunication networks, internet technologies, multimedia systems, and digital tools that enable the exchange and sharing of information. ICT is more inclusive of technologies that allow you to communicate with others and is a direct extension of IT.

Around 1971, he left the academia and pursued a primitive lifestyle. He seeks to fight the advancement of technology through extreme methods such as nation-wide bombing. Kacyznski murdered 3 people and injured 23 others in his campaign against people he believed to be advancing modern technology. Arguments noted: Technological Slavery, Loss of Freedom, Psychological Suffering, Collapse of Civilization. Template by NUCCIT 9  SECTION 1.1.B.

It is the intangible component of a computer, as opposed to the physical hardware. Software can be categorized into two main types: system software and application software. Each type serves different purposes and functions. SYSTEM SOFTWARE It manages the hardware and creates an environment for applications to run. The main component of system software is the operating system (OS). Operating System (OS): The core software that manages hardware resources and provides common services for software. The OS handles tasks like memory management, process scheduling, file management, and device control.
