1. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY

2. COLLECTIVELY REFERS TO THE TECHNOLOGIES, BOTH HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE, THAT ENABLES HUMANS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. IT IS COMMON MISCONCEPTION THAT ICT IS INTERNET OR COMPUTER ALONE. BASICALLY, IT IS ANY FORM OF TECHNOLOGY THAT ENABLES YOU TO COMMUNICATE.

3. HARDWARE DEFINED: Hardware is the physical aspect of computers, telecommunications, and other devices.

5. Computer hardware is the physical parts or components of a computer, such as monitor, keyboard, computer data storage, hard disk drive (HDD), graphic card, sound card, memory (RAM), motherboard, and so on, all of which are tangible physical objects.

6. SOFTWARE DEFINED: Software-defined storage (SDS) is an approach to data storage in which the programming that controls storage- related tasks is decoupled from the physical storage hardware.decoupled

7. EVOLUTION OF ICT THE BEGINNING OF ICT CAN BE TRACED BACK WHEN HUMANS STARTED TO USE OBJECTS TO COMMUNICATE WITH ONE ANOTHER. IT IS ASCERTAINED THAT ICT BEGAN ALONG WITH THE RISE OF HUMANS.

8. THE PREMECHANICAL PERIOD - CAN BE TRACED BACK THOUSAND OF YEARS AGO, AROUND 3000 BCE TO 450 CE.

9. THE PREMECHANICAL PERIOD HUMAN STARTED USING WORDS AND PICTOGRAMS CURVED IN ROCKS. THEN THEY STARTED TO WRITE SYMBOLS AS SUBSTITUTE AS SUBSTITUTE FOR PICTURES TO DEPICT IDEAS, OBJECTS AND ANIMALS. THESE GIVE RISE TO MODERN DAY ALPHABET.

10. PAPYRUS PLANT WHEN PAPER WAS FINALLY PRODUCED FROM PAPYRUS PLANT STORING OF INFORMATION WAS REVOLUTIONIZED

11. BOOKS AS HUMAN CONTINUED TO WRITE INFORMATION, ORGANIZING THEM AND KEEPING THIS AS PERMANENT RECORDS BECAME SIGNIFICANT, HENCE, THIS GAVE BIRTH TO BOOKS.

12. LIBRARIES CONSIDERED THE FIRST DATA CENTERS IN HISTORY.

13. NUMERICAL SYSTEM IN THE LATE STAGES OF THESE PERIOD, HUMAN STARTED USING THE NUMERICAL SYSTEM. THIS NUMERICAL SYSTEM SPREAD AROUND THE WORLD GRADUALLY ENABLING A SIMPLER, FASTER AND MORE ORGANIZED WAY TO COUNT. DURING THIS TIME ALSO HUMAN OPTIMIZE AND INVENT DEVICES AND TECHNIQUES IN COUNTING.

14. ABACUS IS A MANUALLY OPERATED DEVICE SIMILAR TO THE MODERN CALCULATOR. THIS WAS CONSIDERED AS THE FIRST DEVICE TO PROCESS INFORMATION

15. HIGHLIGHTS OF PREMECHANICAL PERIOD WORDS AND PICTOGRAMS CURVED IN ROCKS PAPER PRODUCED FROM PAPYRUS PLANT BOOKS LIBRARY ABACUS

16. THE MECHANICAL PERIOD IT SERVED AS THE BRIDGE BETWEEN OUR CURRENT PERIOD AND THE MECHANICAL PERIOD AND THE PREMECHANICAL PERIOD. IT STARTED AROUND 1450-1850 INTEREST IN AUTOMATING AND SPEEDING UP CALCULATION.

18. FATHER OF COMPUTER

19. HIGHLIGHTS OF THE MECHANICAL PERIOD AUTOMATING AND SPEEDING UP CALCULATIONS GREW PASCALINE CALCULATOR WAS INVENTED ANALYTICAL ENGINE WAS INVENTED

20. THE ELECTROMECHANICAL PERIOD NEW AGE IN COMMUNICATION AND INFORMATION STARTED AROUND 1840-1940 THE USE OF ELECTRICITY FOR INFORMATION HANDLING AND TRANSFER BLOOMED USE OF TELEGRAPH TO TRASMIT INFORMATION (USE OF INFORMATION IS CODED IN SOUNDS OF DOTS, SPACES AND DASHES OVER WIRED- EVENTUALLY WIRELESS MEDIA) TELEPHONE WAS INVENTED

21. TELEGRAPH WILLIAM COOKE & SIR CHARLSE WHEATSTONE

22. ALEXANDER GRAHAM BELL

23. THE ENIGMA

24. THE ELECTRONIC PERIOD  THIS IS THE LAST PERIOD IN ICT HISTORY IN THE ELECTRONIC PERIOD  IT STARTED IN THE 1940’S AND CONTINUES TO THE PRESENT  THE DAWN OF THE LECTRONIC NUMERICAL INTEGRATOR AND COMPUTER  ENIAC- WAS THE FIRST ELECTRONIC AND GENERAL PURPOSE COMPUTER

25. FOUR MAIN EVENTS IN ELECTRONIC PERIOD VACUUM TUBES PERIOD TRANSISTORS PERIOD INTEGRATED CIRCUITS PERIOD COMPUTER PROCESSORS PERIOD

26. TRANSISTOR PERIOD THIS WAS ELECTRONIC DEVICE WITH PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONS SIMILAR TO VACUUM TUBES, IT IS LIGHWEIGHT AND FASTER. THIS IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY ELECTRONIC DEVICE

27. VACUUM TUBE AND TRANSISTOR

28. INTEGRATED CIRCUIT IS A DEVICED COMPOSED OF A GROUP OF TRANSISTOR AND CIRCUIT ELEMENT COMPRESSED. THE IC REVOLUTIONIZED THE USE OF COMPUTERS AND ELECTRONIC DEVICES BECAUSE CIRCUITS ARE INTEGRATED IN A CHIP OR A SINGLE PACKAGE, LIMITING THE DISTANCES BETWEEN COMPONETS, RESULTING IN A FASTER OPERATING SPEED.

30. IBM The IBM Personal Computer, commonly known as the IBM PC, is the original version and progenitor of the IBM PC compatible hardware platform. It is IBM model number 5150, and was introduced on August 12, 1981. It was created by a team of engineers and designers under the direction of Don Estridge of the IBM Entry Systems Division in Boca Raton, Florida.IBM PC compatibleplatformIBMDon EstridgeBoca Raton, Florida
