    The Benefits of Information and

    Communication Technology (ICT)

    GROUP 4
    “The number one benefit of information and
    communication technology is that it empowers people to
    do what they want to do. It let’s people be creative. It
    let’s people be productive. It let’s people learn things
    they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a
    sense it is all about potential.”
    -Steve Ballmer
     The twenty-first century has been characterized as the
    information age. No doubt, one of the great achievements of
    this age has something to do with technology, especially the
    increasing power of communications.
     Its importance cannot be overemphasized. The rapid
    technological advancement ushers an era where information
    and communication are at the tip of one’s finger.
     One way to describe the rapid acceleration of technology in
    relation to information and communications is simply to be
    aware of the evolution of some communication tools.
    EXAMPLE:
    The transition of the telegraph to e-mail of wired
    telephones to cellular phones, of typewriters to computers ,and
    many more.
     Another way is to look back at those times when computers
    were not yet tools for communication, but simply used for
    data storage. When computers started to be linked to
    outside terminals, it resulted to greater services, like the
    transmission of digital data. The connection of telephones
    to computers contributed to the capability of computers to
    be developed as an entire communication system.
     The internet facility is not solely used for data transmission,
    but also for electronic mail, voice and video, and
    teleconferencing purposes. Undeniably, the computer system
    has an overabundance of different applications that are
    available for people of various ages.
    EXAMPLE:
    Social networking sites, YouTube, blogs, webcam, and so
    on.
    EDUCATION
     Many educators are already using and infusing technology
    as a teaching learning tool through the use of different
    platforms.
    EXAMPLE:
    Moodle, Edmodo, Edublogs, and others.
     For students, the different search engines, online libraries,
    and the like are useful tools in researching different topics
    relevant to their subjects or courses.

    BUSINESS
     Most entrepreneurs use the Internet and different social
    networking sites to promote their businesses and products.
    Through the use of the Internet and mobile phones, they are
    able to reach a wide range and bigger number of possible
    costumers.
    EXAMPLE:
    GOVERNMENT

     In the Philippines, many transactions with government


    offices are now possible and available online. Applications
    for birth certificate, passport, NBI, among others are
    maximized by citizens. This contributes to the reduction of
    transaction costs.
    EXAMPLE:
    Transportation costs in getting to and fro offices and the
    number of hours spent queuing.
    are among the information and communication tools that
    can be considered as integral part of work activities in
    almost all companies, like educational institutions, in
    Philippines and abroad. Some companies, like educational
    institutions, are already making use of social media as an
    avenue for making announcements and sharing important
    information, events, and achievements of the institution to
    the public.
    That’s All
