WHAT IS ICT?

ICT, also known as Information and Communications


Technology, is the infrastructure that facilitates the
communication of people and organizations in the digital
world. Generally, it includes applications, devices,
systems, and networking components that enable modern
computing.
ICT SYSTEM COMPONENTS

The components of ICT allow people to interact with


each other in the digital world. A list of components of
the ICT system is mentioned below. However, ICT is not
limited to the list as it includes any application, system,
or device that enables the digital interaction of
organizations and people.
1. COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY:

 People in the present society have all shifted from old means of
communication to new modes which are advanced, faster, cost-
saving, and easier to use. Communication technology has made it is
feasible for people to interact globally through various connections.
Technology is advancing day by day and has a major role in giving
a boost to the country's economy, as it is generating a lot of
employment and making it easier for people to do things efficiently
and in no time.
2. DATA:

 The word Data is derived from Latin, which means something given. Data
is the plural word, and its singular form is Datum. At the initial stage, the
data we provide to the computer is raw. Then, the computer processes it and
converts it into information. This data can be present in the form of images,
documents, audio clips, software programs or any other form. This data is
processed with the help of a CPU and stored in the hard disk of the
computer. Computers store the data in the form of binary numbers means in
the form of 1 and 0. There are 5 types of data present:
Text Data: It contains all the alphabets from A-Z.
Number data: It contains numbers from 0-9.
Alphanumeric Data: It contains various symbols like @, #, $,
%, &, *, and many more.
Image Data: It contains images in formats like JPEG, PNG,
and JPG.
Audio-Video Data: It contains data in different formats like
MP3, MP4, and HD.
3. SOFTWARE:

Software is a set of programs or instructions which tell a


computer how to work. The software executes tasks,
which are specific in nature, through the set of
instructions that operates them. Software is digital
portions that run with the help of hardware. Software is
of two types:
Application Software: These are downloaded by the user
according to needs, such as games, antivirus, browsers, and
many others.
System Software: These include operating software like Mac
OS or Windows. System software runs without user intervention
4. HARDWARE:
 It is divided into two types:
 Internal Hardware: They are found inside the system unit, which includes the
motherboard, CPU, RAM, ROM, graphics card, fan, sound card, expansion slot, and
different types of drives.
 External Hardware: It is the physical part of the computer like the monitor, keyboard, or
mouse. External hardware components are input devices, output devices and storage
devices; these are known as peripherals. It is further divided into -
 Input Devices: These are used to ender data in the computer, e.g., keyboard, scanner, joystick, light pen,
etc.
 Output devices: They receive the information from the computer and convert it to a readable format. e.g.,
monitor, speakers, printer, headphone, etc.
 Storage Devices: These are used to store data. E.g., the optical disk, floppy disk, USB flash drive,
5. CLOUD COMPUTING:

Cloud computing is a data centre available on the internet for


users across the globe. Clouds have multiple functions and can
be classified into the following types:
Enterprise Cloud
Hybrid Cloud (Combination of enterprise and public cloud)
Public Cloud
5 BASIC COMPUTER OPERATIONS

 There are 4 (arguably 5) basic computer operations:


 Input – Feed data into the computer.
 Processing – The computer crunches the data.
 Storage – Save data into a storage media.
 Output – Display results or perform an action after processing.
 Control – The coordination between operations. For example, reading an
image from a flash drive (input), then displaying it on the monitor
(processing and output).
