in this unit we'll be talking about the
use of information and communication
technology in everyday
life what is ICT ICT is an acronym that
stands for information Communications
technology a good way to think about ICT
is to consider all the uses of digital
technology that already exist to help
individuals businesses and organizations
s to use
information ICT covers any product that
will store retrieve manipulate transmit
or receive information electronically in
a digital form for example personal
computers digital televisions emails
robots and so on so we can say that ICT
is concerned with the storage retrieval
manipulation transmission and receipt of
Digital
Data importantly it is also concerned
with the way these different uses can
work with each
other look at these
photographs think about how ICT could be
used in the situations shown on these
photos on the photo in the upper left
corner you can see an
ATM ATM stands for automatic teller
machine think about how ATMs work
computers store information about the
amount of money held by each client and
enable staff to access large databases
and to carry out Financial transactions
at high
speed they also control the automatic
cash dispensers or ATMs which by the use
of a personal coded card dispense money
to clients on the photo in the upper
right corner you can see students
learning with the support of
ICT think about how ICT can be used in
the process of education and
learning computers can help students
perform various operations and solve
difficult questions they can be used to
access the internet teach courses such
as computer aided design language
learning programming mathematics and so
on computers are also used for
administrative purposes for example
schools use databases and word
processors to keep records of students
teaches and
materials on the photo in the bottom
left corner you can see an air traffic
control
tower think about how ICT can be used to
control air
traffic airline pilots use computers to
help them control the plane for example
monitors display data about fuel
consumption and weather conditions in
airport control Towers computers are
used to manage radar systems and
regulate air traffic on the ground
airlines are connected to travel
agencies by
computers travel agents use computers to
find out about the availability of
flights prices times stopovers and many
other
details on the photo in the bottom right
corner you can see a bicycle
race how could ICT be used in this
situation race organizers and
journalists rely on computers to provide
them with the current positions of
riders and teams in both the particular
stages of the race and in the overall
competition workstation in the race bues
provide the the timing system and give
up to the minute timing information to
TV
stations in The Press Room several
pieces give real-time information on the
state of the
race computer databases are also used in
the drug detecting test for
competitors what can computers do
computers and microchips have become
part of our everyday lives we visit
shops and offices which have been
designed with the help of computers we
read magazines which have been produced
on computer we pay bills prepared by
computers just picking up a telephone
and dialing a number involves the use of
a sophisticated computer system as does
making a flight reservation or Bank
transaction we encounter daily many
computers that spring to life the
instant they are switched on for example
calculators the car's electronic
ignition the timer in the microwave or
the programmer inside the TV set all
which use chip
technology what makes your computer such
a miraculous device each time you turn
it on it is a tabasa that with
appropriate hardware and software is
capable of doing anything you ask it is
a calculating machine that speeds up
Financial
calculation it is an electronic filing
cabin
which manages large collections of data
such as customers list accounts or
inventories it is a personal
Communicator that enables you to
interact with other computers and with
people around the world if you like
gadgets and Electronic Entertainment you
can use your computers to relax with
computer games watching videos TV shows
listening to music and so
on think about what can computers do in
the following areas factories cars
entertainment and hospitals write down
your
ideas another task you have is to write
an essay presenting your opinion about
the advantages and disadvantages of
using
computers you can send both papers one
about the uses of computers in the
mentioned areas and another one about
the advantages and disadvantages of
using computers to Eis at ed. fit. for a
