The Importance of ICT in Today's World.
Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) has an important role in the world since we are now in the
information age era. With ICT, the company can make the business easier to
happen with the client, supplier and the distributor. It is also very important
in our daily lives. The lack of appropriate information at the right time will
result in low productivity, low quality research works, and waste of time to
pursue information and even to do research which actually others had done or in
other countries. Nowadays ICT cannot be separated with our daily needs. ICT has
a great impact in our daily lives.
For example, we can read our local
newspaper using the online newspaper. Another example is we still can get
connected with our family, relatives, or colleagues even if we are abroad by using
the electronic mail, yahoo messenger, call conference, or video conference. Digital
computer and networking has changed our economy concept to the economy with no
boundary in time and space because of ICT. It brings a lot of advantages for
economic development enabling millions of transactions to happen in an easy and
fast way. ICT is one of the economic development pillars to gain national
competitive advantage. It can improve the quality of human life because it can
be used as a learning and education media, the mass communication media in promoting
and campaigning practical and important issues, such as the health and social
area. It provides wider knowledge and can help in gaining and accessing information.
ICT has become an integral part of
everyday life for many people. It increases its importance in people’s lives
and it is expected that this trend will continue, to the extent that ICT literacy
will become a functional requirement for people’s work, social, and personal
lives. The use of ICT in education add value in teaching and learning, by
enhancing the effectiveness of learning, or by adding a dimension to learning
that was not previously available. ICT may also be a significant motivational
factor in students’ learning, and can support students’ engagement with
collaborative learning.
Information and Communications
Technology (ICT) is basically our society’s efforts to teach its current and emerging
citizens valuable knowledge and skills around computing and communications
devices, software that operates them, applications that run on them and systems
that are built with them. As a matter of fact, we are living in a constantly
evolving digital world. ICT has an impact on nearly every aspect of our lives –
from working to socializing, learning to playing. The digital age has
transformed the way young people communicate, network, seek help, access
information and learn. We must recognize that young people are now an online
population and access is through a variety of means such as computers, TV and
mobile phones.
It is in this premise that educational technology and e-learning is taught in or out of the classroom since educational technology is used by learners and educators in homes, schools, businesses, and other settings.
