How I Use ICT

How I Use ICT

Whether we like it or not, ICT and technology has a huge impact upon

all of our lives, whether in business or our personal lives.

The technology that is incorporated in everyday domestic appliances is

enormous. The majority of homes have telephones, televisions,

microwaves other kitchen appliances. These all have macro processors

to control their function.

Almost every home nowadays has a fridge or a fridge freezer. Macro

processors and thermostats control the temperature of the fridge

freezer. Before these inventions, food could not be kept for any

significant period of time. Disease and illness, due to the

consumption of rotten food, was very common.

In my house I have access to digital television. The menu system and

programming guides that are built into the system allow me to select

the programmes that I want to view with ease. Within my system I can

interactively play games and look at the latest news and sport

headlines. Without this technology this information was not readily

available.

I have a personal computer at home. This has many applications

available to me. I use Word to produce documents, such as this. Use

of this technology allows me to concentrate on the content of this

essay rather than writing it out. Also, the use of the computer

allows me to make corrections and changes to the work easily without

having to write it all out again. Access to the internet from my

personal computer makes available an enormous amount of information.

It also allows me to connect with my teachers and friends. I am able

to send and receive information from them that previously I would have

had to send by post or deliver personally. The cost saving to me in

postage and time is immense. So my personal computer is used for

educational, social and personal enjoyment.

A huge amount of money and research nowadays is being put into mobile

telephones.
