refers to the practical application of knowledge in a particular
area (Merriam-webster)
“Technology should improve your life… not
become your life.”
—BILLY COX
WHAT IS ICT?
Information and Communications Technology is a
broader term for Information Technology

- It refers to all computer and communications

technologies enabling users to access, retrieve,
store, transmit and manipulate information in a
digital form.
 ICT IS A CONVERGENCE OF TWO TECHNOLOGIES

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

ADVANTAGES: Vacuum tubes were a basic component for electronics

throughout the first half of the twentieth century, which saw the
diffusion of radio, television, radar, sound reinforcement, sound
recording and reproduction, large telephone networks, analog and
digital computers, and industrial process control.

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

DEVELOPED BY: American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Brattain,

and William Shockley in 1947

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

An integrated circuit (IC or microchip) or monolithic integrated circuit is a

set of electronic circuits on one small plate ("chip") of semiconductor
material such as silicon. It is composed of millions of transistors

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

A specialized single chip developed for computer memory and logic.. A

computer's central processing unit (CPU) is built on a single integrated
circuit chip that greatly reduced the cost of processing power.

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:

WIRED TRANSMISSION WIRELESS TRANSMISSION

communications take place using solid communications takes place without the use
substances to transmit data - wired solid substances to transmit data - wireless
transmission media such as coaxial cable, media send data through air or space using
twisted pair, and fiber-optics cables, among infrared, radio, or microwave signals
others

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..
