Information and Communication Technology (ICT)

Abstract

Information and communication technology is a set of technological tools and resources for the transfer, recording, creation, sharing or exchange of information, including computers. Before the pandemic, the importance of ICTs was growing in the world day by day, specifically in major industrialized countries. It is considered the cornerstone of industrial and political strategies aimed at strengthening the national economy, uniting the country and better positioning itself in the global economic system. Since the technological revolution, man has been in a race against time. This race is increasing with every evolution in technology. Thus, companies and institutions (public or private) seek to produce more in less time, which makes information technology an important and necessary means to reach this goal, after the urgent need to perform many tasks in a short time to meet the needs required by the global and local markets of services and goods. Just as railways were seen as the physical link connecting regions and countries, technologies and communication networks are now seen as a means of promoting economic development and dialogue, and facilitating the dissemination of shared views and knowledge within and between countries.
