    APPLYING ICT TODAY

    (IMPACT, OFFENSES,
    INFLUENCES AND ETHICS)
    Submitted by: Tony Kim
    APPLICATION OF ICT
     ICT applications can support sustainable
    development, in the fields of public administration,
    business, education and training, health, employment,
    environment, agriculture and science within the
    framework of national e-strategies. 
    ICT IMPACTS
     Positive impacts

     Negative impacts
    POSITIVE IMPACTS

    • Access to information: Possibly the greatest effect of


    ICT on individuals is the huge increase in access to
    information and services that has accompanied the
    growth of the Internet.

    • Improved access to education, e.g. distance learning


    and on-line tutorials. New ways of learning, e.g.
    interactive multi-media and virtual reality. New job
    opportunities, e.g. flexible and mobile working, virtual
    offices and jobs in the communications industry.
    • New tools, new opportunities:

     ICT can be used for processes that had


    previously been out of the reach of most
    individuals, e.g. photography, where digital
    cameras, photo-editing software and high quality
    printers have enabled people to produce results
    that would previously required a photographic
    studio.
    NEGATIVE IMPACTS
    • Job loss: One of the largest negative effects of ICT can be the loss of a person’s
    job. This has both economic consequences, loss of income, and social
    consequences, loss of status and self esteem. Job losses may occur for several
    reasons, including: Manual operations being replaced by automation. e.g. robots
    replacing people on an assembly line.

    • Reduced personal interaction: Being able to work from home is usually


    regarded as being a positive effect of using ICT, but there can be negative
    aspects as well. Most people need some form of social interaction in their
    daily lives and if they do not get the chance to meet and talk with other people
    they may feel isolated and unhappy.
    ICT INFLUENCES
    • Over the last few years, information
    technology's impact on society has
    become a hot topic. It is clear that in
    the coming decades information and
    communication technologies
    (ICT or IT) will affect and reshape most
    parts of our society.
