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.

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.
