 What is it?

Dimensions of Technology that are Enabling and Inhibiting.

Data and Communication Technology (ICT) in instruction is the method of training
that utilization data and correspondences innovation to help, upgrade, and advance
the conveyance of data.
Overall research has indicated that ICT can prompt an improved understudy learning
and better instructing strategies. A report made by the National Institute of
Multimedia Education in Japan, demonstrated that an expansion in the utilization of
ICT in instruction with coordinating innovation to the educational plan has a huge
and positive effect on understudies' accomplishments. The outcomes explicitly
demonstrated that the understudies who are persistently presented to innovation
through instruction has better 'information', introduction aptitudes, inventive abilities,
and are prepared to accept more endeavors into learning when contrasted with their
partners.

Information Communication Technology

 Refers to all the technology used to handle telecommunications , broadcast
media, intelligent building management systems , audiovisual processing and
transmission systems and network- based control and monitoring functions.
 The term covers wireless networks, cell phones , the Internet and other media
for communication.
 ICT is perceived to be instrumental in creating a global village , which is the

 Benefits of using ICT in Main Areas

ICT IN EDUCATION
 Using Virtual Learning Environments for distance education
 Using Video trainings
 Using digital education contents such as school management system to
manage daily routines of the schools .Specific examples are student
registration,allocating time tables,managing student’s attendance , managing
examination results, managing school accounting and financial processes.
ICT IN MEDICINE
 Using computerized medical equipment such as MRI, CT scanners, EEG ,
EGG machines
 Channeling doctors over the Internet
 Using Tele medicine , the use of medical information exchanged from one site
to another via electronic communications to improve patient’s clinical health
status.
 ICT offers convenient access to patient records and medical knowledge in the
medical industry. The doctor will only have to obtain, read and analyze the
patient's medical history, the previous medical care obtained, and any other
applicable data that will assist in the proper diagnosis and treatment of the
patient. Online hospital or clinic appointments are also possible. This makes it
possible for it makes it easier for the patient to be registered early in the doctor's
appointment diary, thereby relaxing the timetable and preventing long hours of
waiting at the clinic, (Elizabeth T. Urgel, 2017).

ICT IN AGRICULTURE
 Using computerized agricultural equipment for instance using computerized
feeders for diary cows, computerized milk processing systems, computerized
controlled green houses.
 Using internet and email to disseminate information on research information,
market prices , agricultural instructions
 Managing and analyzing information of research and experiments.

ICT in Engineering

 Using CAD (Computer Aided Designing) to design, analysis and optimize

designs. Examples :Construction plans ,Designing vehicles and
machines,Using CAM (Computer Aided Manufacturing) to create 3D models.
 Using robotics in manufacturing plants.
  Computers can be used in different types of fields in engineering such as
Electronic engineering ;Electrical engineering ;Industrial engineering;
Mechanical engineering
ICT in Banking and Finance

 Using internet for banking transactions such as E banking

 Using ATM/ Automated teller Machines
 Using networking to inter-connect branches
 Using electronic payment methods in e – commerce such as credit card,
paypal.
 Using internet to retrieve financial information’s, currency exchange rates and
stock market.
ICT in Transportation

 Using air traffic control systems.

 Booking air tickets over the on line air ticket reservation systems.
 Controlling traffic jams using computerized traffic controlling systems.

ICT in Entertainment

 Computer Gaming
 Animating, Editing in film industry
 Using computers for music composing
 Using portable music players such as iPod ,Mobile phones
 Purchasing digital contents on-line example ,Apple iTunes
ICT in Security and Defense
 Using computers to analyze crimes.
 Using robotics to remove land mines.
 Using computerized air defense systems.

Identifying a System’s Weakest Link Through Strategic and Intuitive thinking

The weakest link refers to a part that is likely to fail, cause a problem, or break easily.
Since it is the most vulnerable part of the network, it is a simple point for attackers.
The weakest link can be part of a software system, infrastructure , an application or
the people- administrators , technical support and users who easily succumb to social
engineering. Social Engineering is the science of getting people to comply with your
desires and the weakest link in the safety chain. Social Engineering is characterized
as the use of manipulation to force individuals to reveal sensitive or personal
information that could be used for fraudulent purposes.Practitioners of social
engineering , in this case the attackers of a system , manipulate of people to break
into the security wall. It is the trusting nature of people which makes them one of the
weakest links. Attackers look for what appears to be the weakest link , not what
appears to be the strongest link. The weakest link is identified in two ways by security
practitioners: strategic thinking and intuitive thinking. Using strategic thinking, security
practitioners use a clear "risk analysis" of the available data to recognize and fix the
most significant danger or issue that is the weakest link. They often use comparison
and some kind of logic to identify the weakest. A security practitioners employs risk
analysis by identifying the options which are less risky ; in other words , they identify
the weakest links which attackers may exploit. Applying intuitive thinking in detecting
the weakest link, security practitioners look for what could be the easiest target of
possible attackers by focusing on the external appearance of the link. They will look
for the part that appears the weakest, like what the attackers do. In order to secure
weak links, it is important for security practitioners to have a ready approach that
determines and strengthens weak links. Efforts must be made before the level of
danger is reduced or is reasonable. Network File Trajectory and System Trajectory
can help security practitioners determine the extent of an intrusion and identify the
presence of malware or malicious files on a network and system level.
Users should avoid opening malicious files and connections that might be infected
with a virus,(Elizabeth T. Urgel, 2017).
