The letter "C" stands
for communication. The word communication derived from the Latin word
"COMMUNIS" which means the common experiences. Communication is the
process through which we receive and disseminate the particular information on
particular topic. The act of transmitting the messages is known as
communication, in this process the information can be exchanged between
individuals by using, verbal interactions, symbols or signs.
The letter "T" stands
for the technology. Technology is known as the use of scientific knowledge,
resources or experiences to practical. it can fulfill the human needs. It plays
vital role in the communication.
Basically ICT is the use of
hardware and software. The most common and well known example of ICT is known
as computer, which is the combination of hardware and software. The word
computer is also an acronym which stands for the “commonly operating machine
particularly used for technical, educational and research". The word
computer is derived from the Latin word "COMPUTARE" which means to
count, to compute, or to think together.
Computer is an electronic device,
it accepts the (input) data from the user, process on the data (meaningless
items) and convert it into information (meaningful items), and manipulate that information
to the user in the form of output. Computer uses operating system, it is a
system software which provides the environment or we can say that platform to
the user as he/she can easily communicate with computer.
Computer can only understand the
binary language when computer processing it performs the basic task or responsibility
of itself, such as convert data (meaningless) binary numeric values in to
information (meaningful) numeric values. Binary language or binary number
system is also known as the base 2 number system, this number system is
invented by the Gottfried Leibinz, where numeric values represented by the combinations
of 0(off) and 1(on). The word binary split in two parts one part is “BI” which
means “TWO” and the other part is “NARY” which means “NUMBERS”. These two
numbers are 0 and 1, 0 means off while 1 means on. The most dedicated video is available
on the YouTube in which the Youtuber clearly define that how CPU process the
data, you can search out his video by these words (CPU and How it processes
Data).
Basically the definition of ICT

technological tools and resources, which can be used to create, collect, edit,
distribute, store and management of information in various forms from anywhere
to anytime.”
