IT
ICT

IT
 ICT

• is often used in a more general sense, and is

described as using computers and other
digital technologies to assist individuals or
institutions in handling or using information
 IT
• pertains to the industry that
involves computers, software,
networking, and other IT
infrastructure to help relay or
manage information important in
modern-day living as seen primarily in
large companies or corporations.
 INFORMATION

• is regarded as processed data

 KNOWLEDGE

• Processed information that is used in

daily activities.

BASIC TRANSPORTATION COMPUTERS

TOOLS
 INTELLIGENT
SYSTEMS

• systems are far more

complex and are capable of
learning
 AUTOMATION

• includes a broad range of technologies

normally connecting computer systems to
other systems, such as sensors, wireless
applications, expert systems, and systems
integration, among others
 Automation and
Digitization

“Digital transformation improves processes, while automation adds

speed and reduces costs.
 AUTOMATION
• IT automation is the process of
creating automated systems to
replace repeatable processes and
reduce manual intervention,
accelerating the delivery of IT
infrastructure.
digitization
• Digitization is a broad term that
encompasses all the data and action
migration to the digital world. It is the entry
step towards process automation and
software used for businesses.
Why computers
Are powerful
 User

• is anyone who communicates and

interacts with a computer or makes use of
the information it generates
 SPEED

RELIABILITY AND CONSISTENCY

ACCURACY

COMMUNICATION
 Speed

• in the system unit, operations get

done through electronic circuits.
RELIABILITY AND CONSISTENCY

• the electronic components in

modern computers are dependable
because they have a low failure rate.
 accuracy

• computers process large amounts of

data and generate error-free results,
provided the data is inputted correctly
and the instructions work properly. If data
is inaccurate, the resulting output is also
incorrect.
 communication

The message being transmitted

can contain facts, thoughts,
perceptions, judgments, beliefs, attitudes,
commands
and even reactions.
Digital Age, Information Age,
and
Computer Age
 Digital Age, Information Age,
And Computer Age

• used interchangeably
• capture ubiquitous nature of
computing and the prolific use of
technology in almost all aspects of
human activity such as that digital
interaction is a defining
characteristics of human activity
 Media

• normally refers to the means of communication

that uses unique tools to interconnect among
people.

User-generated content

• is a form of content created and owned by

the users of a system
 Overview of
Current Trends
 Trends
• refers to something hip or
popular at a certain point in time
• It can be a particular style in
fashion, devices or entertainment. A
new trend may always come along to
replace the old one.

 IoT and Smart Home Technology

• vision has evolved due to the convergence of multiple technologies, including

pervasive wireless communication, data analytics, machine learning and use of
hardware technology such as sensors, microprocessors and microcontrollers.
Trending since 2016
 Augmented and Virtual Reality

• in 2016, the release of games such as Pokemon Go and the anticipated VR

headset, Oculus Rift, served as a turning point for AR and VR technology
AUTOMATION
• through advanced technology, it is now possible to automate previously human-exclusive
tasks. This is a very much evident through wearable devices such as step counters and heart
rate monitors used by health-conscious individuals.
• Information collected is automatically saved and stored in mobile devices for analysis later
on.
 Big Data

• term that describes large and complex volumes of data.

 Physical-digital integrations

• Identify their physical elements and create digital data for more
efficient operation and back-up
 Everything on demand
• due to the prevalence of network connectivity, it is possible to have information on
demand
• Music, movies and even drivers (e.g., Grab) are made available through the apps in
smartphones.
Impact of ICT on Individuals, Organizations, and Society

 Plagiarism

• it is an act of theft in which a

person copies another
person’s ideas, words, or
writings, etc. and pass them off as
his or her own
• Those who committed such
action may lead to serious legal
and ethical defilements.
 Exploitation

• it is an action in which one deals

with a person dishonestly,
unethically and dishonorably, in
order to take advantage of the
latter’s works and/or resources.
This leads to unlawful actions.
 Software piracy

• It refers to an act of
installing or copying a
software into the computer in
the absence of an end-user
licensing agreement (EULA),
and/or producing a copy
disregarding the copyrights
