ICT


CHAPTER 1
Introduction

a. Background
Application of information technology has been so rapid. Many things that benefit the user but also often brings unpleasant effects. Basically, information technology is intended to facilitate the life not the other way inconvenient or disturbing. Along with the development of IT in the community appears also the vision and culture in using IT. From here the potential for misplaced or negative because of lack of attention to early concepts of IT absorption.

b.      Problem Formulation
Here is the problem formulation ;
1.    What is the meaning of ICT ?
2.    What is the impact of ICT ?
3.    How to reduction the impact of ICT ?

c.       Purpose
1.      To understand about ICT
2.      To know the impact of ICT
3.      To know how to reduction the impact of ICT

d.      Significan
To increase our knowledge about ICT and how to aplied to our life

  
CHAPTER 2
Teoritical Freamwork

a.       Definition
Information and communications technology or information and communication technology, usually called ICT, is often used as an extended synonym for information technology (IT) but is usually a more general term that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), intelligent building management systems and audio-visual systems in modern information technology. ICT consists of all technical means used to handle information and aid communication, including computer and network hardware, communication middleware as well as necessary software. In other words, ICT consists of IT as well as telephony, broadcast media, all types of audio and video processing and transmission and network based control and monitoring functions.

b.      Discussion
ICT or informations and communications technology is about digital information passing between devices. ICT development has changed every aspect to the human society.
The term ICT is now also used to refer to the merging (convergence) of audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks through a single cabling or link system. There are large economic incentives (huge cost savings due to elimination of the telephone network) to merge the audio-visual, building management and telephone network with the computer network system using a single unified system of cabling, signal distribution and management. See VOIP and Intelligent Infrastructure Management (IIM). This in turn has spurred the growth of organizations with the term ICT in their names to indicate their specialization in the process of merging the different network systems.
Information and Communication Technologies for Environmental Sustainability (ICT Ensure) is a general term referring to the application of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) within the field of environmental sustainability. Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) are acting as integrating and enabling technologies for the economy and they have a profound impact on our society. Recent changes in ICT affect as well the environmental sustainability regarding the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) set up to ensure environmental sustainability in this century. With the usage of new technologies the global community, can be supported in their collaboration to preserve the environment in the long term. New technologies provide utilities for Knowledge acquisition and awareness, early evaluation of new knowledge, reaching agreements and communication of progress in the interest of the human welfare. This includes ethical aspects of protecting human life as well as aspects of consumer safety and the preservation of our natural environment.
ICT also have the positive and negative impact for human society
·        Positive impact
-         The faster communication speed
In the past, need a long time to send a news. But now with internet, it be easier to send via email.
-         Saves time and is inexpansive cost of connection to the internet is relativy cheap
-         Has created the term paperless environment
-         Be an effective sharing of information

·        Negative impact
-         Social problem
People tend to choose online rather than real time conversations
-         Computer may harm the user if they use it in a long hours frequently
-         There are so many pornography, issues of spaming personal details by criminal, and using the information for all the wrong reasons
-         Economic criminal
  

CHAPTER 3
Closing

a.       Conclusion
ICT or informations and communications is redefining the economic, social, and cultural. But the impact of ICT is much more and futher reaching than any other technology invented so far.

b.      Recommandation
As has been discussion above, the recommandation is :
1.      The goverment should recognise the communication and knowledge are two interwined success factors.
2.      For the parents, keep our child from negative using information sand communications technology
3.      Back to ourself, how to use ICT the positive ways.
