History of ICT
InformationTechnology (IT)

It encompasses the utilization, creation, and oversight of


computer-based systems, software, and networks for the
storage, processing, transmission, and retrieval of data.
Information and Communication
Technology

There is no universal definition for ICT due to how broad it is, but it
is usually agreed upon that it has more to do with communication
than Information Technology does.

ICT is more inclusive of technologies that allows you to


communicate with others and is a direct extension of IT.
ICT has profoundly impacted education by
introducing e-learning platforms, online courses, and
Education digital libraries, revolutionizing access to knowledge
dissemination.
IT supports scientific research by providing
computational resources, data processing tools and
Research specialized software for tasks such as data
analysis, simulations, and modeling.

IMPACT
ICT has significantly transformed the entertainment
Entertainment industry by revolutionizing how content is created,
distributed, and consumed.

ICT serves as the backbone for critical functions


such as enterprise resource planning (ERP),
Business customer relationship management (CRM), and
