Lesson
ICT and Its Current State
1
The essence of what it is to be human is our ability to learn, change and adapt. Throughout our
history, we underwent three significant technological revolutions that drastically changed the way we
live. From mastering the use of steam in machines and contraption to create more than what we
immediately need, mastering electricity itself bringing daylight in night and transcending radically our
ability in storing and processing data.
As a learner, you are about to face a new technological revolution. One that has massive
information storage, transmission and analysis at its core. Confronting this new challenge requires you
to have a good fundamental knowledge of Information and Communication Technology.
What’s In
This lesson will introduce the concept of Information Communication Technology. This lesson
includes what ICT means, its concept and current state of technology. It will also discuss the difference
between the Web and Internet. It will also outline important technological milestone in the evolution of
web technology and how it contributed to the way we share and transmit information today.

What is It
What is ICT?
ICT is used across by many industries and disciplines and in some, it is a crucial element for
them. ICT is now a part of many people’s lives, for better or for worst. Ultimately, this technology
depends on your behavior as an end user, thus learning how to use ICT properly and responsibly is a
must.
Current State of ICT
ICT is following certain trends as it is developing in this time and age. This trend dictates
the idea and design of how ICT delivers information to people. The following are emerging
technologies, principles or concepts in ICT.
1. Convergent Technologies - This is when multiple different devices combine into a single
gadget because of technological advancement. One example of this is smartphone, where it is
capable of doing the functions of a television, radio, computer, telephone, camera and GPS as
a single device.
2. Social Media – These are software, applications or platforms that allow users to communicate
in an online social communities or network. Social media allows people to communicate faster
through a larger number of people.
3. Mobile Technologies - This is a term for devices that are easily carried and allows fast
means of communication. These devices from the past were originally big and bulk, but due
to the technological advancement, they become smaller and more compact.
The Internet by definition is the actual interconnection of computers and other networks, while
the web refers to the system that enables people to access information over the internet. The internet is
the hardware aspect because it relates to computer networks, connections and infrastructures. The web
on the other hand, refers to the software aspect as it relates to the Protocols or HTTP (HyperText Transfer
Protocol. HTTP are the system or procedures that enables the transfer of information in the internet) web
services, applications and platforms.
