The uses of ICT have transformed the way we live, work, and interact
with each other. It has enabled faster and more efficient
communication, improved access to information, and increased
productivity. ICT has also created new industries and jobs, and has
opened up new opportunities for education, healthcare, and
entertainment.
Digital divide: Not everyone has access to ICT, which has created a
digital divide between those who have access and those who do
not. This can lead to further inequalities in education, healthcare,
and employment opportunities.
Overall, while ICT has brought about many positive impacts, it is
important to be aware of the negative impacts and work to address
them through policy and regulation.
