 Short Review
1. What does the picture
depict?

2. How can you relate it to

our previous lesson in the
career opportunities in ICT?
Trends and Issues
in ICT
Superapps, the ICT supertrend

Asia, particularly China, is the origin of this idea.

These are applications that combine a lot of services so
users can have access to a single application that does
everything. The services include a dedicated messaging
area and a bank transfer area. As they boost their
competitiveness and foster customer loyalty, they are
becoming more and more well-known among businesses.
Explosion of the metaverse in the business world
With the creation of virtual spaces that can blur physical
barriers, the virtual world hopes to realize its great potential
and excel in important fields like the potential to change the
way people live, work, and shop.

Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity

The primary goal of this technology is to increase data security on smart networks; therefore, businesses should
prioritize optimizing smart device security capabilities.
Blockchain, one of the most secure ICT trends
guarantees that the integrity of data is maintained while doing away with single control over information and party middlemen.
To enable the automation of transactions and communications, the data are thus stored in a highly secure and encrypted
manner, thereby providing an unquestionable boost to digital identity.
Digital twins
Not only can this technology create sets of
digital duplicates of spaces, elements, and systems
to manage errors, save costs, and produce more
accurate products.

MedTech, the revolution in medicine
The convergence of IoT and MedTech
represents a significant chance to leverage digital
technologies like virtual care, RPA, AI, and others to
overcome obstacles and settle disputes in the
modern healthcare industry.

 Cybersecurity threats

Issues in With the increasing reliance

on digital systems and the
Information and internet, cybersecurity
threats such as hacking,
Communication malware, phishing, and cyber
attacks have become a
s Technology significant concern for
individuals, businesses, and
(ICT) governments. Protecting
sensitive data and critical
infrastructure from cyber
threats is a top priority.
 Data privacy and
Issues in regulation

Information and The collection, storage,

and use of personal
Communication data by companies and
s Technology organizations have
raised concerns about
(ICT) data
privacy.
 Artificial Intelligence
Issues in (AI) and automation
Information and The rapid development
Communication of AI
and automation
s Technology technologies has raised
(ICT) concerns about job
displacement,
algorithmic bias, and
ethical implications.
 Slow Internet
Issues in Connections
Information and
Causes like network
Communication congestion, distance
s Technology from server, outdated
hardware or software.
(ICT)
 Viruses
Issues in
Information and Different types like
trojans, worms,
Communication ransomware that can
s Technology corrupt
(ICT) data, steal info. How
they spread through
downloads, emails,
networks.
 Other potential issues
Issues in • E-waste and environmental
impact of hardware/devices
Information and • IT personnel shortages and
Communication skills gaps
• Digital divide and access
s Technology inequalities
• Ethical issues around AI,
(ICT) autonomous systems
• Regulation and governance
of emerging technologies
 Worked Example
• Here are examples of recent trends
and issues in ICT such as artificial
intelligence, cloud computing, and
cybersecurity. Notice how these affect
our daily lives and businesses. Discuss
the impact of these trends and issues
on society and industry. Discuss the
impact of these trends and issues on
our society and industry. How can we
solve these issues?
