3. What is ICT?
- According to longman dictionary
INFORMATION is = Facts or details that tell you something
about a situation, person, event, and
etc.
COMUNICATION is = The process by which people exchange
information or their thoughts and
feeling
TECHNOLOGY is = New machines, equipment, and ways of
doing things that based on modern
knowledge about science and
computer
So ICT is machines, equipment or ways of giving or
excahange fact or detail about a situation, person, event, etc.

4. Why we need ICT?
 Imagine yourself living in a jungle alone. No TV,
telephone, electricity, internet, radio, satelit, friends to talk
to. Just like the stone age period. How do you feel about
it? Human being is a social creature. We must live and
communicate each other. For than reason people invent
many thing to ease their social needs.
 Nowadays, people hardly live without ICT. It’s almost in
every sectors of our life. Kitchen, bedroom,office, school,
mosque, church, even open spaces like park or street
have available communication media.
 Internet, TV, radio, telephone, newspaper, ar unavailable
source to our live
 Bussenis and pleasure runs smoothly with ICT

5. Brief history about ICT
 Premechanical
The premechanical age is the earliest age of
information technology. If can defined as the time
between 3000B.C When humans first started
communicating they would try to use languange or
simple picture drawings known as petroglyths which
were usually carved in rock. Early alphabets were
developed such as the Phoenician alphabet.

6. ICT now and then ( comparison )
 ICT will be growing, increasingly sophisticated, and
the ease of human life in the future.
 But do not misuse of ICT to do things that are not
good
 Because it would be bad for our lives

7. ICT gadget or media
 ICT gadget or media are :
 Computer
 Television
 Radio
 Handphone
 Tablet PC, etc.

8. Breaktrough on ICT
 Detection of new discoveries that further facilitate
human
life. For example, first we have to send money by post
or go
to the bank. But now, we can send money only with
SMS,
we can do it anywhere and anytime.

9. Positive and negative effect of ICT
 ICT can have a positive impact on people
 Access to information. Possibly the greatest effect of
ICT on individuals is the huge increase in access to
information and services that has accompanied the
growth of the Internet
Some of the positive aspects of this increased access
are:
Better, and often cheaper, communications, such
asVoIP phones and Instant Messaging.
Improved access to education, e.g. distance learning and
on-line tutorials.
New ways of learning, e.g.
interactive multimediaand virtual reality.
New job opportunities, e.g. flexible and mobile

10.  In addition, the use of ICT to access information has brought new
opportunities for leisure and entertainment, the facility to make
contacts and form relationships, social networks, with people
around the world, and the ability to obtain goods and services
from a wider range of suppliers.
New tools, new opportunities. The second big effect of ICT is
that it gives access to new tools that did not previously exist. A lot
of these are tied into the access to information mentioned above,
but there are many examples of stand-alone ICT systems as well:
ICT can be used for processes that had previously been out of
the reach of most individuals, e.g. photography, where digital
cameras, photo-editing software and high quality printers have
enabled people to produce results that would previously required
a photographic studio.
ICT can be used to help people overcome disabilities. e.g. screen
magnification or
screen reading software enables partially sighted or blind people
to work with ordinary text rather than Braille.

11.  ICT can have a negative impact on people
 Job loss. One of the largest negative effects of ICT can be the
loss of a person's job. This has both economic consequences,
loss of income, and social consequences, loss of status and
self esteem.
Job losses may occur for several reasons, including:
Manual operations being replaced by automation. e.g. robots
replacing people on an assembly line.
Job export. e.g. Data processing work being sent to other
countries where operating costs are lower.
Multiple workers being replaced by a smaller number who are
able to do the same amount of work. e.g. A worker on a
supermarket checkout can serve more customers per hour if
a barcode scanner linked to a computerised till is used to
detect goods instead of the worker having to enter the item
and price manually.

12.  Reduced personal interaction. Being able to work from
home is usually regarded as being a positive effect of using
ICT, but there can be negative aspects as well. Most people
need some form of social interaction in their daily lives and if
they do not get the chance to meet and talk with other people
they may feel isolated and unhappy.
Of course, it is possible to overcome the lack of social
interaction, but this usually involves deliberate planning and
the active pursuit of relationships which might otherwise
dwindle away.
Reduced physical activity. A third negative effect of ICT is
that users may adopt a more sedentary lifestyle. This can lead
to health problems such as obesity, heart disease, and
diabetes. Many countries, including the UK, have workplace
regulations to prevent problems such as repetitive strain injury
or eyestrain, but lack of physical exercise is rarely addressed
as a specific health hazard.
Of course, this must be balanced against the effect of having
to travel to work. The stress of travel can itself give rise to
health problems.

13. Summary
 Thus, ICT is very useful to help our daily activities.
But we also have to be careful using it. Since ICT is
also having a negative impact in our lives.
 We also have to make use of ICT as well as possible
in order to facilitate our daily lives
