Ang isang estudyanteng palabasa ay mas may malaking posibilidad na maipasa niya ang
mga pagsusulit na ibibigay ng guro kumpara sa isang hindi palabasa sapagkat sa kanyang
pagbabasa mas nadaragdagan ang kanyang kaalaman, lumalawak ang talasalitaan at mga
karanasan. Mas nahahasa ang kaisipan ng estudyanteng palabasa na umunawa nang mas
malalalim na ideya, mga argumentong pangangatwiran at nababatid ang implikasyon ng
kanyang binabasa. Sa ganitong paraan, masasabing ang pagbasa ay isang masalimuot na
proseso sapagkat nasasangkot dito ang maraming kasanayan.
EVOLUTION OF ICT

Evolution of ICT
ICT began with the rise of humans. There are 4 main periods in history that divide the era of
ICT.
When paper was finally produced from the papyrus plant, storing information was
revolutionized.
They compiled records written on pieces of paper and bound them together, eventually giving
birth to books.
In the late stages of this period, humans started using the numerical system. They started to
optimize and invent devices and techniques in counting. The “Abacus” was throw most popular
device created come from China.
The interest in automating and speeding up numerical calculations grew. The machines driven by
mechanical means such as a steam and gears dominated information processing and calculation.
The highlight of this period is the advent of the mechanical calculator called Pascaline, which
was invented by the famous mathematician inventor Blaise Pascal along with Wilhelm
Schickard.
Charles Babbage invented the Analytical Engine, which is considered the first programmable
mechanical computer. This earned him as the “Father of Computers”
The use of electricity for information handling and transfer bloomed. The need and the urgency
to share information with one another in a faster yet reliable manner over long distances aroused.
The information is coded in sounds of dots, spaces, and dashes over wired ( and eventually
wireless) media. The telephone was later invented, enabling voice transmission over long
distances. Human started to control electricity using vacuum tubes in devices that eventually led
to the development of today’s electronic gadgets.
The telegraph is considered the fist electrical communications device. First invented by William
Cooke and Sir Charles Wheatstone, the first working models used five magnetic needles that
could be pointed around sets of letters and numbers by using electric current.
Computing devices also started to revolutionize information handling and processing. Machines
were mechanical in nature but were run by electricity. The machines used in gears, levers,
vacuum tubes, relays, and wires for processing and calculations.
The Electronic Period (1940…)
This highlight on the advent of solid state devices or electronic devices. The four main events
found in this period are the late vacuum tubes period, the transistors period, the integrated
circuits, and the computer processors period.
The dawn of the Electronic Numerical Period Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), the first
electronic and general purpose computer, marked a revolutionary period in computing.
The transistor was invented in 1947. The electronic device with properties and functions similar
to vacuum tubes, but it is lightweight and faster. The first full transistor was developed in 1957
and was faster than vacuum computers and was faster than vacuum computers.
The Integrated Circuit (IC) is a device that is composed of a group of transistors and circuit
elements compressed in a single package The IC revolutionized the use of computers and
electronic devices because circuits are integrated in a chip or a single package, limiting the
distances between components, resulting in a faster operating speed.
The fast-paced development and innovation in personal computing paved the way for the birth of
different user applications that introduced ease and comfort for the users.
