LESSON 1
THE CURRENT STATE Of ICT

ICT- Information and Communication Technology.

It is an extended term of Information Technology (IT).

It stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of
telecommunications, computers, as well as necessary enterprise software, middleware,

THE WORLD WIDE WEB

The World Wide Web is an information system on the internet that allows document to be connected

to the other documents by hypertext links, enabling to users the users to search for information by moving

from one document to another. It was invented by Tim-Berners Lee. The world wide web browser

software, such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer/Edge, Mozilla Firefox, Opera, Apple's Safari, and google

chrome, let users navigate from one web page to another via the hyperlinks embedded in the documents.

These documents may also contain any combination of computer data, including graphics, sounds, text,

video, multimedia and interactive content that runs while user is interacting with page. The Web has

enabled individuals and organizations to publish ideas and information to a potentially large audience

online at greatly reduced expense and time delay.
