Introduction to Information

and Communications
Technology
Objectives

At the end of the unit, you should be able to:

• Know the evolution of communication technology;


• Differentiate IT (Information Technology) from ICT (Information
Communication Technology);
• Pay attention to the changes in technology over time;
• Demonstrate understanding of the use of ICT in the course taken; and
• Apply appropriate technology that are necessary in this new era.
The difference between IT and ICT
What is IT and ICT?
IT refers to a whole sector of the economy that manages
information using computers, networking, software, and
other tools. IT departments are often in charge of
storing, processing, retrieving, and safeguarding the
company's digital information. They have computers,
DBMS, servers, security systems, etc. to carry out these
activities. System administrators, database
administrators, programmers, network engineers, and IT
managers are just a few of the professionals who work in
IT departments.
The word "ICT" is frequently employed in the context of education.
ICT, despite the lack of a generally accepted definition, primarily refers
to the use of digital technology, such as computers, televisions, email,
etc.,to assist people or organizations in working with digital
information. You might think of ICT as an expanded synonym for IT. In
light of this, ICT can be viewed as the fusion of IT with technologies
for media broadcasting, audio/video processing and transmission, and
telephony.
Let us Define ICT.

Communication – is an act of transmitting
messages. It is a process whereby information is
exchange between individuals using symbols, signs or
verbal interactions. With the advent of technology, older
Information – Information refers to the knowledge forms of communication are less utilized as compared to
obtain from reading, investigation, study or research. the use of the Internet, e-mail or video conferencing.

Technology – uses the scientific knowledge, experience


and resources, to create processes and products that fulfill
human needs.

Second Generation (1956-1963)
Computer Scientists
John Bardeen

The creation of the transistor spark


the production of the wave of second
Generation computer.

Transistor was small devices use to


Transfer electronic signals across a
Walter Houser Brattain resister.

Smaller than vacuum tubes,


needed no warm up time,
Comsumed less energy,
Generated much less heat
William Shockley Faster and more reliable.
Third Generation (1964-1971)
IBM
It was used for business and scientific programs. Other computer
Models introduced were CDC 7600 and B2500.

The dev elopm ent of the Integ rated c irc uit (IC), signal the beginning
of the third generation of computers. Silicone chips were manufactured
in 1961 at the Silicone Valley. Then came integrated circuit
technology, which had reduced the size and
cost of computers.

A new concept in this generation was that of a family of


computer which allowed computers to be upgraded and
expanded as necessary.
Fourth Generation (1971-Present)
Fourth Generation (1971-Present)

Fourth Generation (1971-Present)
It took only 55 years for the 4 generations
Steve to evolve. The growth of the computer
industry developed technologies of

inventions. There are many types of
computer models such as:
Bill Gates Apple Macintosh
IBM
DELL
ACER

Michael Dell
Fourth Generation (1971-Present)
In 1971 Intel created the first microprocessor.
In 1976, Steve Jobs built the first Apple
Steve computer. Then, in 1981 IBM introduced its first
Jobs personal computer.
