UNIT # 1: INTRO TO ICT

Overview of ICT
What is ICT?
 ICT, or information and communications technology (or technologies), is
the infrastructure and components that enable modern computing.
OR
 Information and communication technologies (ICT) is defined as a diverse
set of technological tools and resources used to transmit, store, create,
share or exchange information.
o WHAT IS ICT and its importance?
o ICT is a set of integrated technological resources that provide, through
hardware, software, and telecommunications functions, the automation
and communication of business processes, scientific research, and
teaching and learning.
Origin of ICT?
 The term "information technology" evolved in the 1970s. Its basic
concept, however, can be traced to the World War II alliance of the
military and industry in the development of electronics, computers, and
information theory.
 Who is the first inventor of ICT?
 Charles Babbage was the creator of the world's first mechanical computer
in 1822, to which he gave the name, 'The Difference Engine', which
sounds very science-fiction-esque today.
 Babbage is considered by some to be "father of the computer".Babbage is
credited with inventing the first mechanical computer, the
Difference Engine, that eventually led to more complex electronic designs,
though all the essential ideas of modern computers are to be found in
Babbage's Analytical Engine.
