Week5: IT, ICT

After learning about IM, we continued to Information Technology(IT), Information Communication and Technology(ICT).
I have heard about IT so much before; however i did not really understand about it. In my opinion at that time, i thought that IT and ICT were one, they had the same meaning. But my knowledge was wrong.

1. Information Technology:
   • Miss Nisha has explained and then showed us the definition of IT: it is a term that refer to all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information.
   • To make us to more understand , she gave us an example: telecommunications product(such as telephones), information kiosks world wide wed sites, multimedia,and office equipment such as copier and fax machines. Temperature control devices, and medical equipment. 
   • And then, we went to know about IT concept. There are IT architecrure and Infastructure.
2. Information communication and Technology:

Actually, ICT is similar to IT, but focuses primarily on communication technologies. This includes the internet, networks, cellphones, and other communication mediums.Usage ICT in daily life: healthcare, education, government, banking, science, business.
At the end of the class, we had an activity. That was that each country had to make a group to present about the uses of ITCs in education, business or government of that country. However, I only had one country-mate in class.  Therefore, i had to join with Somila friends. It was very special. A group come from Asia and Africa. Our topic was about "describe about the uses of ICts in government in your country" . All of us chose my country- VietNam to describe. We found lost of good information on the internet;however, we presented          badly. I think we should practice more to be confident in front of lots of people.
