- Information Communications Technology - or technologies (ICT) is an umbrella term that includes all technologies for the communication of information . It encompasses: any medium to record information (whether paper, pen, magnetic disk/ tape, optical disks - CD/DVD, flash memory etc. etc.); and also technology for broadcasting information - radio, television,; any technology for communicating through voice and sound or images- microphone, camera, loudspeaker, telephone to cellular phones. At present, it is apparently culminating to information communication with the help of Personal Computers (PCs) networked through the Internet through information technology that can transfer information using satellite systems or intercontinental cables.
