Explain the role and importance of information communication in science and technology

ICT – Information and Communications Technology has the proven power to change the world. This acronym refers to the merging of audiovisual and telephone networks with the computer single unified system of cabling. Thus, ICT includes any communication device – including radio, television, cell phones, computer and network hardware, satellite systems, etc. Today, ICT technologies have embedded themselves as commonplace entities in all aspects of life. This gives us further evidence that the world is rapidly moving towards increased adoption of digital technology. The role of ICTs in education is becoming more and more critical. The higher education sector has advanced with the help of various ICT tools such as smart devices, smartboards, online classrooms, digital cameras, projectors, video conferencing tools, audio recording tools, and many more. However, ICT has benefited the higher education sector in more than just new tools. Let’s see how Information and Communication Technology (ICT) evolved the Higher Education system : 1. The Role Of ICT In WHAT IS LEARNEDIn Higher Education Traditional teaching has revolved around content with great emphasis laid on textbook-based learning. The teachers headed the classroom and used lectures, tutorials, and presentations to help the students understand the material being taught. With the introduction of ICT and various EdTech tools, students are no longer restricted to learning from the textbook, class lectures, and presentations. ...

Abstract When ICTs (Information and Communications Technologies) are combined with healthcare, they can make a key contribution to gradually improve national health outcomes. The global outbreak of COVID-19 in 2020 further highlighted the important role of e-Health and m-Health service modes. This research structures a mediated effect model to explore dynamic relationships between ICT factors, ICT impacts, and national health outcomes, among which ICT factors are independent variables; ICT impacts are mediating variables, and national health outcome indicators selected from United Nations Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and World Development Indicators are dependent variables. The fixed effect model is used to process a set of 141 countries’ panel data from 2012 to 2016 from World Bank and World Economic Forum, while the classical three-step test method and Sobel test combined with fixed effects are used to test the mediated effects of the panel data. The results show that there are significant associations between ICT factors and national health outcome indicators, while only some of the partial mediated effects are proved. ICT environment and ICT usage can influence both the under-five mortality rate and adolescent fertility rate via ICT social impact. However, the mediated effect of ICT social impact on maternal mortality ratio and life expectancy at birth has not been confirmed. Meanwhile, the mediated effect of ICT economic impact has not been proven. This researc...

ICT is an acronym for Information and Communication Technology. As the name suggests, these are tools for information management, as well as for the production, storage and distribution of information. ICTs are made up of old and new tools. Old instruments include radio, television, telephone. New tools include computers, satellites, Internet and wireless technologies. It exists in many forms such as audio, video, images and text. It deals with the latest technology and an arsenal of simple audio-visual media such as slides, radios, cassettes and films. Today, information and communication technology is the only one, and therefore the category of technologies is further expanded to include computers and related products, e-mail, MMS and other forms of communication. Importance of ICT in Education Currently, we do not need to leave our home or even our room to see any form of ICT in our lives, be it computers, plasma TVs, or mobile phones. We all have them in some part of our life. In modern society, everyone as ICT consumers is fighting for one dream: the dream of living together. This makes ICT a lifestyle choice for a large segment of the population. In addition, these lifestyle choices change the way we communicate, increase consumption, and change the way we interact and collect information. ICTs have permeated and changed many aspects of our lives. The aspect of our life when we live in an environment is dominated by technology consumers ( Semenov, 2005). No matter ho...

The process of ICT becomes an integral part of the process of learning nowadays. The growth and the development of technology are playing an important role in higher education. It helps prepare different learning concepts to enhance the impact of teaching, learning, and research criteria. It highlights different impacts of information and communication technology for providing development to generate different methods. The use of the given technology has changed the procedures in terms of business and governance. The online learning methods provide an experience to adopt suitable factors of consideration used to access educational research to create a proper method of suitable learning based on different analyses. It represents the strategy of the curriculum to provide a demand to the educational practices. It is characterized by providing a descriptive study to link the use of ICT to educational practices.

The role and importance of information communication in science and technologyare following: • It has enabled to predict and forecast weather conditions by studying meteors. • With the help of internet, one can collect scientific information and also share them with the help of emails or other social networking sites. It provides information on almost every topic. • Some experiments and concepts in science can be demonstrated effectively using simulations and animations. eg. functioning of nervous system. • A prototype of new research in the field of science can be build in various program softwares which runon a computer. • It has enabled scientistsgatherinformation related to happening in the space. • It has enabled the broadcasting ofinformation related to agriculture to farmers living in remote areasto improve their agricultureproductivity and sustainability.
