1.1. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
 The term Information Communication Technology (ICT) refers to all communication technologies,
including the internet, mobile phones, television, computers, tablets, and cameras.
 It also refers to integrating telephone and audio-visual networks with computer networks to enable the users to
access, retrieve, store, transmit, and manipulate information in a digital or electronic form.
 Information Technology (IT) refers to an entire industry that uses computers, networking, software and other
equipment to manage information.
 It is the process of creating, maintaining, and using computer software, hardware, and networks.
 Although IT and ICT are related concepts, they are not the same.
 IT is a broader concept and a technology that is related to computing data whereas
 ICT is related technologies in communication.

Activity 1.1

B. Write the difference between IT and ICT using your own words and present it to the class.

1.2. Basic Elements of ICT System


 ICT system consists of five basic elements such as data, information, communication, user, and technology.
I. Data: It can be defined as any type of representation of an object or an event.
 Numbers, text, symbols, speech, image, and so on are all examples of representation or Data.
 Data has to be processed, or provided with a context before it is given meaning.
 For example Abebe, 15 ______________Means that Abebe is 15 years old.
II. Information: is the result of processed data.

Prepared By: Birhanu Gutu Page 2


ICT NOTES FOR GRADE 7 STUDENTS – 2016 E.C

 Data processing occurs when data is collected and translated into usable information.
 Data only takes meaning and becomes information when it is interpreted.
 Data interpretation is the process of reviewing data through some predefined processes which will help
assign some meaning to the data and arrive at a relevant conclusion.

What is the difference between Data and Information?

Data Information
 It is termed as Input. It is termed as Output.
 It has no meaning itself It has meaning by itself.
 It requires processing. It does not require processing.
 It is not used directly It used directly

III. User: is a person who has access to ICT and utilizes it.
 It is humans who develop and operate the software, feed data, create and maintain the hardware, define the
procedures, and finally determine if an ICT succeeds or fails.

IV. Communication: is the process of passing information from one place to another.
 Providing information to computers, reading information from any system, or the transfer of message
between two people are some of the examples of communication.
 To have communication among computers and other ICT systems, communication devices are mandatory.
Communication devices are basically devices that allow computers and other ICT systems to
communicate with one another.
V. Technology: refers to a set of tools and machines created by humans to solve problems.
 It allows humans to study and evolve the physical elements that are present in their lives.
 Technology can be found in our homes, in personal places, in industries, in business, and in the medical
profession. For example, Mobile phones and Television.

Activity 1.2
