Information and communications technology

The are 4 C's of ICT:

• Computing
• Connectivity
• Content
• Capacity

      The ICT involve a lot of fields we can think about and it has some goals for the future. For example in education, ICT can increase the quality of educational materials and better trained teachers; in a more social aspect, it can help eradicate extreme poverty and hunger and promote gender equality with programs to educate the population. It can help reduce child mortality, improve maternal health by increasing access to reproductive health information and combat diseases.

   There are certain objectives society should reach related to ICT like connect villages, universities, libraries, health centers, adapt primary and secondary schools, ensure population have access and encourage development of content. Unfortunately there are some challenges that this technologies face:

• Awareness
• Availability
• Accessibility
• Afford-ability

       "Digital divides are not just the result of economic differences in access to technologies but also in cultural capacity and political will to apply these technologies for development impact". It is a problem the lack of resources in some countries to apply these technologies in schools or other places, but it does not mean that those who can afford it are using them in a right way or in all its potential.

          We need to transform complex technologies into user-friendly systems that is why the Internet of the future must be: trustworthy, reliable, globally inclusive, easy to use, affordable, able to change rapidly, innovative and capable of significant expansion transparently and well managed.
