Technology
ICT, or Information Communication Technology, is the fusion
of technology and communication tools that enable the
acquisition, storage, processing, and sharing of information.
It's the backbone of the digital age, revolutionizing how we
connect, work, and access knowledge.

Slide 1:
Introduction Definition: is a broad term that encompasses technologies,
devices, and systems used to acquire, store, process,
transmit, and manage information and data. It includes both
hardware (such as computers and mobile devices) and
software (applications and programs), as well as networks
and telecommunications infrastructure. ICT is a fundamental
driver of the digital age, shaping the way individuals,
businesses, and societies interact, communicate, and
access information.
