        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.

        Role of ICT

        ICT is used in our both personal and professional life. Let us study about them in detail.
