What is It

Technology - a manner of accomplishing a task especially using technical

processes, methods, or knowledge.
Information and Communication Technology (ICT)– the tools and the processes
to access, retrieve, store, organized, manipulate, produced, present and exchange
information by electronic and other automated means (Marquez, 2018).
Communication - a process by which information is exchanged between
individuals through a common system of symbols, signs, or behavior
Information - knowledge obtained from investigation, study, or instruction
Digital Divide – the natural consequence of advancements in ICT. It refers to the
discrepancy in people’s access and skill related to ICT.

 The History of ICT

In placing a brief history of the development of ICT, abacus was first invented
around 3000 B.C., even though that we are aware today that it was first developed
during the early 19th century, after the discovery of electricity in 1780s.

In 1833, Charles Babbage created the initial designs of the computer but it was not
until 1931 that the first electronic calculator was assembled by Konrad Zuse.

5
In 1894, Guglielmo Marconi
invented “wireless telegraphy” which covered the development of the radio in 20 th
century. Television had its origins from early transmission systems developed in
the late 19th century. The earliest television transmission was made in the 1920s.
Color television was developed in 1940s and became prevalent in the 1960s.

The telephone was invented in 1876 by Alexander Graham Bell. Mobile phone
technology was introduced in the 1970s and the earliest mobile phones were sold
in the 1980s. Advancements in digital technology led to the greater popularity of
mobile phones, gaining widespread use during the early 2000s.

The late 20th century was the high time for computer development. The first
microprocessor was introduced by INTEL in 1971 and the initial versions of the
computers that we see today was manufactured by IBM in 1981.

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.

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, AM/FM radio, television, data
storage, and calculator, among others apart from being capable of using various
software application to augment their features.

In the Philippines, you can watch the news and discussion that you hear over the
radio in television programs such as Teleradyo. Ultimately, twenty-first century
development in ICT focuses more on how ICT can be used to produce positive
impact to society.

What is It
 FUNCTIONS OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Data Capture – Data capturing, storage and transmission is important function of
ICT. With the aid of computer devices such as hardware and software, usually data
is captured by key board, bar codes, video camera, mouse etc.
Data storage – is an issue of covering space, which depends on following factors
such as disk space availability and flexibility of ICT in terms of making the data
available for use.
Data transmission – data can be transmitted from one place to another place or
from one computer to another computer. For this purpose various devices like
modem, cables are used. For transmitting data, various types of networks like
Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), Metropolitan Area Network
(MAN), internet, intranet, extranet etc. are used.

9
Data Processing – is the method of conversion of data into meaningful information.
The processing is done in sequence of operations which translates inputs such as
geographical maps, images, satellite imageries, aerial photographs or in the form
tabular data collected from in-site survey, government records or personal
observations into output in the form of dimensional model or in other visual forms.
Data Manipulation – is the process of summarizing, re-arranging, improving or
scientific designs achieved either physically or by processor software. ICT helps in
operating the information and makes new information from present information.
Data Retrieval – is the process of discovering required information. ICT supports
the recovery of information’s either in the form of features or characteristic or both
in a computer-generated form. Data can be retrieved from one source to another
source with the help of computer software.
Data Display – Data display includes presenting of information in the form of text,
graphics, audio, and video. Display can be made through computer screen,
speakers and printers. (Prasad & Prasad, 2009).

 TWO CONVERGING TECHNOLOGIES OF ICT

Computation technology - it provides a capability for processing data to be
converted into information.
Communication technology - it enables the required information to be coded and
transmitted through communication channel for intended users.

1. Public Administration - ICT brings transparency and efficiency in the
administrative work. Online working system will leave no scope for laziness and
dishonesty in work.
2. Urban and Rural Development - telecentres in rural areas can facilitate
economic liberation. Mobile telephony can also help rural entrepreneurs in keeping
in touch with their market outside their communities.
3. Transport - used to improve road, air and rail transportation. These operations
include payment for parking meters, identification of authorized parking space
occupants.

B. Improving the quality of life for citizens in:

1. Health - it supports efficient exchange of information between health
professionals, enable transfer of patient records between sites, telemedicine and
thus improve clinical effectiveness, continuity, and quality of care by health
professionals.
2. Special Needs (for the Physically Challenged) - can be extremely useful in
providing access to communication, education and open up opportunities for them.
Examples are Braille keyboards can help visually impaired or blind people, Short
Message Service (SMS) can be used to send and receive messaged by the hearing
impaired, the voice activated dialing service can be used by visually impaired.
3. Education - it helps in facilitating learning and exchange of educational
materials. The online learning system is another web-based application that is
revolutionizing the learning platform of education.
4. Environment – it helps collecting data about environmental issues. They allow
access to information and provide support system to manage and monitor
environmental issues.
5. Agriculture - can be used to impart information directly to farmers and the
farming community. It can handle agricultural issues such as water utilization and
management, pest control, harvest management and so forth.

C. Facilitating Activities in the Business Sector such as:

1. Manufacturing - linking the process chains in manufacturing as opposed to
improving or facilitating single steps in the production lines. The mass production
of goods and services is gradually giving way to a network-based production and
manufacturing system.
2. Electronic Commerce - Electronic commerce (e-commerce) is the use of
internet or telecommunications to carry out business of any type. Common
examples of e-commerce are online shopping, online banking, online stock trading
etc.
3. Travel and Tourism - It is used to provide multimedia information about
destination to prospective travelers. With the aid of ICT applications, prospective
travelers can view a destination, book accommodation, book the flight and other
forms of transport and pay for all these without leaving their homes.
