Apakah ICT ?

Sebenarnya apakah yang dimaksud dengan ICT ? Apakah ICT itu Teknologi Maklumat dan Komunikasi?

Cuba fikir-fikirkan. Saya yang sehari-hari berada depan komputer pun masih pening dengan maksud sebenar ICT. Adakah saya menggunakan ICT atau hanya pandai melisankannya di bibir? Siapakah sebenarnya orang-orang ICT?

Adakah dengan hanya kebolehan surf internet, chating, berforum dan berblog sudah menjadikan kita orang ICT? Atau adakah dengan kebolehan bercakap mengenai ICT sudah melayakkan seseorang itu dipanggil orang ICT?

Apakah ICT sebenarnya?

ICT is an acronym that stands for Information Communications Tecnology

However, apart from explaining an acronym, there is not a universally accepted defininition of ICT? Why? Because the concepts, methods and applications involved in ICT are constantly evolving on an almost daily basis. Its difficult to keep up with the changes - they happen so fast.

Lets focus on the three words behind ICT:

- INFORMATION
- COMMUNICATIONS
- TECHNOLOGY

A good way to think about ICT is to consider all the uses of digital technology that already exist to help individuals, businesses and organisations use information.

ICT covers any product that will store, retrieve, manipulate, transmit or receive information electronically in a digital form. For example, personal computers, digital television, email, robots.

So ICT is concerned with the storage, retrieval, manipulation, transmission or receipt of digital data. Importantly, it is also concerned with the way these different uses can work with each other.

Jadi orang ICT ni kena mahir 3 perkara ini ke? Kena mahir penyampaian maklumat? Kena mahir berkomunikasi? Kena mahir semua teknologi berkaitan penyampaian maklumat? Eh, betul ke ni?

Pening-pening! Apa sebenarkan ICT ni?

p/s: Kat Terengganu pun ada Lembah ICT, kat pantai Penarik tu... ICT = Ikan Celup Tepung.
