WHAT IS ICT?
Information and Communications Technology is a
broader term for Information Technology
COMPUTER COMMUNICATIONS
TECHNOLOGY TECHNOLOGY
Technology that consists of Technology that consists of
people, processes, methods, people, processes, methods,
computing devices, peripherals, electromagnetic devices, and
and software use to speed up systems use for
problem solving and increase communicating over long
productivity.. distances
COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
COMPUTER
A computer is a programmable
machine that accepts data (raw
facts and figures) and processes
or manipulates them into
information that people can use..
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
FIRST GENERATION
1951-1957 - Vacuum Tubes
SECOND GENERATION
1958-1963 - Transistors
THIRD GENERATION
1964-1969 - Integrated
Circuits
FOURTH GENERATION
1970-1990 - Microprocessors
FIFTH GENERATION
1991 - 2021 & beyond - Age
of Connectivity
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY 1 VACUUM TUBES
DEVELOPED BY: Invented in 1904 by John Ambrose Fleming
SETBACKS:
- large use of power
- more heat = more downtime
- more downtime = more expensive maintenance
- huge size of computers
- difficult to program = limited performance
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY 2 TRANSISTORS
ADVANTAGES:
- less use of power
- less heat = less downtime
- less downtime = less expensive maintenance
- smaller sized but faster processing time
- more reliable
SETBACKS:
- The need for smaller and more reliable circuitry
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY 3 INTEGRATED CIRCUITS
ADVANTAGES:
- size is compact
- less cost to manufacture = less expensive
- very fast processing time
- more reliable
SETBACKS:
The need for a better circuitry
EVOLUTION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY 4
MICROPROCESSOR
ADVANTAGES:
- single chip = reduced manufacturing cost
- fewer electrical connections = more reliable
- with smaller components = more smaller designs
- faster and more powerful
SETBACKS:
None
5 AGE OF CONNECTIVITY
Connected Generation”
- The birth of ICT
- All efforts are geared towards
communication of computers in
the information superhighway
What is
(tele)communication?
It is the electronic transfer
of data from one place to
another
TELECOMMUNICATIONS can TAKE PLACE through:
SATELLITE TRANSMISSION
communications take place using satellite to
amplify radio or microwave signals and
create a communication channel between a
source and a receiver
What is ONLINE?
A term used to refer to a
computing or information
device connected to a network
allowing transfer of information
What is a NETWORK?
It is a communications
system connecting two or
more computers; The
internet is known as the the
largest of all networks.
WORLD WIDE WEB
One of the subsets of the Internet
that was developed by Sir Tim
Berners-Lee. where information are
interlinked by hypertext and are
accessible over the Internet
WEB TECHNOLOGY
Web technology is the mechanism
which enables two of computer
devices to communicate over a
network..
