Let’s try to make a list of features required to understand the concept of ICT. Let’s look at an example. Have you clicked photos using a smartphone? What do you do when you click a photo? Whenever we click on a photograph we actually create digital information about the person or thing or the situation that we clicked.
The generated digital information is stored in our mobile. Stored information can be retrieved from mobile anytime whenever we need. Features like cutting (CUT), edit (edit) or add (add) something stored can also be obtained. Sometimes you can send such digital information to others to make multiple copies.
Stored digital images can be sent to others by any means, obtained from anyone, as well as ‘like’, ‘comment’, or descriptive feedback.
Thus, ICT is a process that combines software and hardware, creating, storing, retrieving, editing, sending, and receiving digital information. ICT does not always have to be a definite tool. We have taken smartphones as just an example to exchange information with internet connectivity.
For example, the instant messenger can create a system called ICT. Often as teachers we stick to the use of ICT in the classroom. Let us consider this example. When a teacher uses a slide presentation for teaching in his classroom, can the teacher claim that he uses ICT? No, can’t. Because when a teacher is using Slide Presentation it is already stored as digital information.
