What does ICT stand for?

• A. Information and Communication Technology
• B. Information and Computing Tools
• C. Internet and Computing Technology
• D. Integrated Communication Techniques

Answer: (A)

Information and Communication Technology combines the tools and systems we use to handle information with the networks and services that enable communication. It covers computers, software, databases, and storage on one side, and telecommunications, the internet, wireless networks, email, and video conferencing on the other. This integrated view explains why ICT is used to describe everything from school laptops and projectors to cloud apps and online collaboration in business. The other phrases don’t capture both information processing and communication tech in one term, so they aren’t the standard way to name this field.
