What is It

Good Day Everyone! As the popular saying goes, “Love makes

the world go round.” But before you start looking for someone to
fall in love with, you could argue how the Internet has made the
world go round for decades. Likewise in the motivation activity, the
Internet has probably made your world go round. In this lesson,
we will understand how Information and Communication
Technologies have improved our lives in such a short period of
time. By the way my name is Rommel F. Rioflorido your teacher in
ICT.

In your own opinion,

What is ICT?

For me, ICT deals with the use of different

communication technologies such as mobile
phones, telephone, Internet, etc. to locate,
save, send and edit information.
 Excellent! I think you made
research.
How ICT helps us?

When we make a video call, we use the Internet. When

we send a text or make a call, we use cellular networks.
When we run out of load or battery, we use payphones
which use a telephone network. Having a unified way to
communicate is one of the goals of ICT.

In terms of economics, ICT has saved companies a lot of

resources (time and money) with the kind of communication
technology they use, nowadays. In a similar way, we spend less
because of ICT. As it normally costs us a peso to send a text
message or SMS, with the internet, we can send multiple
messages and only be charged by a fraction.
