COMPONENTS OF ICT
massive volume of structured and unstructured data that organizations and systems generate daily. This data comes from a wide range of sources, including sensors, social media, web interactions, transaction records, and more
big data
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Refers to all equipment and programs that are used to process and communicate information. Tools and methods used to transmit and receive information electronically
communication technologies
COMPONENTS OF ICT
refers to the direct exchange of data and instructions between the various sensors and devices embedded within them, without human intervention
machine to machine communication
COMPONENTS OF ICT
focuses on how humans interact with
their wearable
human to machine communication
COMPONENTS OF ICT
M2M provides the underlying data exchange and intelligence, while HMI allows humans to access and control this technology
seamlessly. As both technologies continue to evolve, we can expect even more sophisticated and intuitive ways for wearables to communicate, both with each other and with us
wearable technology
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Exchange of information or goods electronically, often involving payment or data transfer.
transactions
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Purchasing goods and services through e-commerce websites and platforms.
online shopping
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Making payments, transferring funds, and managing
bank accounts through mobile apps.
mobile banking
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Physical components of an ICT system, including computers, network devices, and peripherals
hardware
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Set of instructions that tell hardware how to perform specific tasks
software
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Manages the computer’s hardware and provides a
platform for running other programs (windows, iOS)
operating system
COMPONENTS OF ICT
Tools for document creation, spreadsheets, presentations, and communication (microsoft office, google worksheets)
productivity software
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
The dawn of the web, characterized by static HTML pages
and limited user interaction.
Web 1.0 (1991-1995)
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
User-generated content, social media, and dynamic applications took center stage. Platforms like YouTube and Wikipedia redefined online engagement
Web 2.0 (2005-present)
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
The web as a more immersive and decentralized space, fueled by blockchain technology and semantic web concepts. Think virtual reality experiences and AI-powered personalized content.
Web 3.0 (emerging)
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
From Static Pages to Interconnected Ecosystems
web generation
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Blurring the Lines Between Devices and Services
convergent technology
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Everyday objects equipped with sensors and internet connectivity, creating interconnected ecosystems for smart homes, cities, and industries
the internet of things (loT)
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
On-demand access to computing resources like servers, storage, and applications remotely, delivered over the internet
cloud computing
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Bridging the Gap and Empowering Communities
social ICT
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Online platforms for government services, public consultations, and civic engagement, promoting transparency and inclusivity.
E-governance and Citizen Participation
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Online learning platforms, MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses), and digital resources democratizing access to quality education and upskilling opportunities.
education and skill development
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Telemedicine, remote patient monitoring, and AI-powered diagnostics improving healthcare access and delivery, especially in underserved areas.
ICT for healthcare and wellbeing
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
: Bridging the Digital Divide and Empowering All
assistive technology
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Screen readers, voice recognition software, and specialized hardware enabling people with disabilities to access and interact with technology.
accessibility tools
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Robots and wearable technologies providing support for mobility, daily tasks, and communication, enhancing independence and quality of life for people with disabilities
assistive robotics
CURRENT STATE OF ICT
Programs and policies ensuring equitable access to technology and the internet for marginalized communities, bridging the digital divide.
digital inclusion initiatives
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
It is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans
artificial intelligence
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
It is the field of computer science and engineering concerned with creating devices that can move and react to sensory input
robotics
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
technology used to measure and analyze human body characteristics such as DNA, fingerprints, eye retinas and irises, voice patterns, facial patterns, and hand measurements, mainly for authentication purposes.
biometrics
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
It is an area of computing focused on developing computer technology based on the principles of quantum theory. Computers used today can only encode information in bits that take the value of 1 or 0—restricting their ability
quantum computing
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
It is the science of encoding and decoding information or messages which depends on physics, not mathematics. It is used for information privacy and security. It provides an ideally unbreakable method of key distribution, as any attempt to intercept or measure the quantum states would introduce errors that can be detected
quantum cryptography
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
digital currencies (or tokens), like Bitcoin, Ethereum or Litecoin,
that can be used to buy goods and services. Uses blockchain to act as both a public ledger and an enhanced cryptographic security system, so online transactions are always recorded and secured.
cryptocurrencies
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
decentralized and distributed digital ledger technology that records transactions in a secure and irreversible manner. It is a system of recording information in a way that makes it difficult or impossible to change, hack, or cheat the system.
blockchain
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
use of computers to assist in the translation of one or more natural languages into another or others, and vice-versa
computer assistred translations (CAT)
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
photographic technique that uses light to project objects in a way that appears three-dimensional. Unlike traditional photographs that capture only the intensity of light, holograms record both the intensity and the phase of light waves.
3D imaging and holography
EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES
term used to describe a three-dimensional, computergenerated environment that can be explored and interacted with a person. this technology aims to immerse users in a synthetic world that appears and feels realistic, tricking their senses into believing they are physically present in the virtual environment.
