Information and Communications Technology (ICT)
refers to the technologies, both hardware
and
software, that enable humans to communicate with
one another.
Common misconception: ICT is Internet or
computer alone.

ICT is any form of technology that enables you to

communicate.

Evolution of ICT

The beginning of ICT can be traced back when

human started to use objects to communicate
one another. with

The Premechanical Period
- around 3000 BCE to 1450 CE
- humans started communicating with one another
using words and pictograms curved in rocks
- started to write symbols as substitutes for
pictures to depict ideas, objects, and animals
- when paper was finally produced from the
papyrus plant, storing of information was
revolutionized

Group Activity: Brainstorming

Divide the class into groups, and

have each group meet to brainstorm
and list down at least 10
technological advances they think
should be included on a time line
of the most important
technological advances in human
history
