[Slide 1: Title Slide – “Emerging Trends and Issues in the ICT Sector”]
Presenter Script:
"Good day, class! Today, we’re going to talk about a very relevant and interesting topic—
Emerging Trends and Issues in the ICT Sector. Technology continues to grow rapidly, and it’s
important that we understand both the benefits and challenges it brings."
[Slide 2: Objectives]
"By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:
1. Identify ICT trends in education, health, business, and transportation.
2. List the advantages and disadvantages of these trends.
3. Explain the current issues and challenges in the ICT sector, especially here in the
Philippines.
4. And lastly, appreciate the value of these emerging technologies in our daily lives."
[Slide 3: ICT Trends – Education]
"In education, ICT played a big role during the pandemic. We experienced:
Online learning, which allowed us to study from home.
Artificial Intelligence (AI) helping with research, editing, and tutoring.
Nano learning, where short lessons are delivered through apps—very useful for
quick, focused learning.
Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) simulate real-world activities like
virtual field trips.
And gamification adds fun to learning using games, rewards, and scores."
[Slide 4: ICT Trends – Health]
"In the health sector, technology is saving lives and improving patient care:
AI-assisted surgeries help doctors perform operations with more precision.
Wearable devices, like smartwatches, monitor our health in real time.
Blockchain is used to safely store and share patient records.
GPS helps track patients, especially in emergencies.
And big data helps doctors analyze medical information to improve treatments."
[Slide 5: ICT Trends – Business]
"In business, ICT helps companies work faster and smarter:
AI automates routine tasks and supports decision-making.
Chatbots assist customers 24/7.
Cloud computing gives businesses flexibility and fast access to data.
And blockchain makes transactions safer and more transparent."
[Slide 6: ICT Trends – Transportation]
"In transportation, technology improves how we travel:
Self-driving cars help people with disabilities or seniors move independently.
In the Philippines, we still use partially automated vehicles that need human drivers.
Apps under Mobility as a Service (MaaS) help people plan and book trips using
public transport.
Big data helps predict vehicle problems and improve maintenance.
And VR driving simulators are now used to train new drivers."
[Slide 7: Issues & Challenges – Artificial Intelligence]
"But with all these advancements, we also face challenges. Let’s start with AI:
It’s often hard to understand how AI makes decisions – this is called lack of
transparency.
Algorithm warfare happens when AI is used for cyber-attacks or spreading fake
news.
Some fear superintelligence, where AI could become too powerful.
There are ethical concerns, such as who is responsible if AI makes a mistake.
Many people still don’t fully trust AI.
And there are legal issues because our laws are still catching up with this new
technology."
[Slide 8: Issues & Challenges – Data Breaches]
"Next is data breaches—this happens when sensitive information is stolen.
This can be caused by misconfigured cloud settings, weak third-party services, or
hackers.
It’s costly to fix, and it can damage a company’s reputation and user trust."
[Slide 9: Disadvantages of Technology Trends]
"Technology has many benefits, but there are also downsides:
Job loss, since machines can replace human workers.
Cybersecurity risks, like hacking and identity theft.
Digital divide—not everyone has access to these technologies.
Overdependence on gadgets can make us less productive.
It can also be a distraction, especially in school.
And sometimes, algorithms can be unfair or show bias."
[Slide 10: Security Risks]
"We also need to stay safe from cyber threats, such as:
Malware – harmful software like viruses or ransomware.
Network weaknesses – unprotected systems that can be hacked.
Phishing – scams that trick people into sharing personal info.
DDoS attacks – flooding websites with traffic to crash them."
[Slide 11: Conclusion]
"To conclude: ICT is changing how we learn, stay healthy, do business, and travel.
It brings many benefits, but we must also understand the risks and challenges it brings.
As future professionals, let’s use technology wisely, safely, and responsibly."
