1. What is ICT in your own words?

 ICT, short for Information and Communication Technology, is about using computers
and phones to help with how we create, gather, process, send, and save
information. The main aim of ICT is to make it easier for people to talk to each other,
use machines, and for machines to talk to each other. It’s like making
communication smoother and more efficient. Sometimes, people use ICT and IT
(Information Technology) interchangeably, but in some situations, they can mean
slightly different things. In the U.S., especially in education, we often say ICT because
IT could also mean instructional technology.

2. Why ICT is important in our daily lives?

 ICT is like a super important part of our lives. It changes how we talk, work together,
find information, and learn new things. It’s not just about talking with family on our
phones; it’s a big deal for the economy too. Think about using smartphones to talk
with family and friends far away. You can send texts, make calls, or even have video
chats. ICT helps us stay connected not just personally but with everyone, like friends
and teachers around the world. It’s not just handy; it’s a big deal because it makes
things better, helps us do more, and links the whole world together through
technology.
