ICT, or information and communications technology (or technologies), is
the infrastructureand components that enable modern computing. Among the goals of IC
technologies, tools and systems is to improve the way humans create, process and
share data or information with each other. Another is to help them improve their abilities in
numerous areas, including business; education; medicine; real-world problem-solving; and
even leisure activities related to sports, music, and movies.
There is no single, universal definition of ICT because the technologies, devices and even
ideas related to ICT are constantly evolving. However, the term is generally accepted to
mean all devices, networking components and applications. When combined, these help
people and organizations interact in the digital world.
The internet, internet of things, metaverse, virtual reality and social media are also part of
ICT, as are cloud computing services, video conferencingand collaboration tools, unified
communicationssystems and mobile communication networks. Emerging, work-in-progress
or still-nascent technologies like 5G/6G, Web3, and quantum computing are also in the ICT
universe.
