        In the past few years, Information Technology (IT) has completely changed the ways we live. The Internet has
        become a convenient way to access the information. It has affected our both teaching and learning processes.
        Strong connectivity features has increased the usage of smartphones. The whole world has shrunk into this little
        device only through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Let us now study in detail the
        role of ICT in our life and how we can enhance our ICT skills.


                 ICT

        Information Technology is  the use of hardware, software and networking technology for accessing, storing,
        retrieving and transmitting the information.
        Communication Technology is defined as exchange of information through networks using either wired or wireless
        media.
        So, if we combine these two important technologies in this digital world, then, it forms a new term called
        Information and Communication Technology which can be defined as use of hardware, software, networking to
        transmit, store, access and retrieve the information in the form of text, graphics, audio, video, multimedia in a
        digital platform.
