IMPACTS OF ICT ON SOCIETY

A. Positive Impacts
a. Faster interactions – we can send emails to our
friends, business partners, or to anyone efficiently.
b. Low-cost communication – the internet allows
people to access large amount of data a very low
cost.
c. Paperless environment – ICT helped documents to
be stored and retrieved through the digital
medium instead of paper
d. Effective sharing of information – ICT enables
knowledge sharing which contributes to the
development of a knowledge-based society
B. Negative Impacts
a. Social problems – a person prefers to be isolated
and engage in different negative activities like
online gaming, identity theft, and hacking
b. Health problems – can be physically, mentally, or
emotionally;
i. Body Dysmorphia Disorder – it is a condition
where an individual becomes obsessive about
a perceived flow in their appearance. A person
experiencing this condition becomes more
conscious and believes other people are
noticing and judging them
ii. Seizures – it occurs when nerve cells in the brain
send out sudden, excessive, uncontrolled
electrical signals. Focal seizures occur when
nerve cells in a part of the brain are involved.
The way the child acts during a focal seizure
depends on the area of the brain that is
affected.
iii. Bad Postures -- Conditions like this are mostly
triggered by means of continuously engaging
on the four demands of social media websites.
