IT and ICT



Information technology is a term that covers all forms of technology used to create, store exchange and use information. It is very important to know and understand the
 concept of IT.
IT has two concepts that a student will use later in his project of IS. IT architecture which is the structure of the entire organization i.e.  IT architecture focuses more on how you structure your information-the design and IT infrastructure which deals with physical facilities; IT component, IT service, IT personnel that support the entire organization.
ICT
ICT is similar to IT but it focuses mostly on communication technologies such as internet wireless networks cell phones
the application of ICT, was very much useful, in a sense that all what I knew ideally; I could put them in practice and compare it with examples in the real world. This made understand more this lesson much better.
For instance, ICT is used in Banking (e-baking), education (e-learning) healthcare, science government and businesses. Most importantly the activity (how is ICT applied in Kenya) we did in the class, also helped me to understand more this lesson. We were like 5 students the activity was about to describe how ICT is applied in one of our group members country so we chose kenya.in Kenya ICT is used in many domains as showed by this following picture.
