Define ICT
Information and communication technology refers to a
connected system of interactive tools and technologies that are used
to send and receive information. Whether it be an individual or an
entire company, if a single entity is using multiple types of
technology to communicate, they must be linked to ensure efficiency.

These systems of interactive tools can include state-of-the-art

innovations, such as artificial intelligence, and less advanced
technology, like the corded telephone. The ability and newness of the
device aren’t important. If multiple technology tools are being used
by an individual or business, they should be connected.

Define Computer

What Does Computer Mean?

A computer is a machine or device that performs processes, calculations and operations based on
instructions provided by a software or hardware program. It has the ability to accept data (input), process
it, and then produce outputs.
Different development in the history of computer.
The history of computers starts out about 2000 years ago in Babylonia
(Mesopotamia), at the birth of the abacus, a wooden rack holding two
horizontal wires with beads strung on them.
A Chinese abacus (suanpan)

He originated the concept of a

Charles Babbage, an English mechanical
engineer and polymath programmable computer. Considered
the "father of the computer”, he
conceptualized and invented the first
mechanical computer in the early 19th century named “Analytical Engine”

Explanation of Computer
A computer is made up of multiple
parts and components that facilitate user
functionality. A computer has two primary
categories: Hardware and Software.
Computers can also store data for later uses in
appropriate storage devices, and retrieve
whenever it is necessary.
Modern computers are electronic
devices used for a variety of purposes ranging
from browsing the web, writing documents,
editing videos, creating applications, playing
video games, etc.

Modern computers come in all shapes and sizes to perform a broad range of different functions.
Although the first ones that come to mind are desktop and laptop computers, many other less-assuming
devices — such as grocery scanners, ATMs, and smart TVs — are computers as well.

The diffusion of smartphones, game consoles, wearables, and smart appliances made computers much
more readily available in our daily life.
