The Bad Me Using ICT

 By Hadjie Abiera

Be honest with yourself and share in class the “bad things” or any unwarranted acts (like piracy) you have done using ICT. Ask yourself why you did them and why your classmates did them. 

    Over the last decade, Information and Communication Technology or ICT has come to play a significant role in society. Our society has become more accustomed to having the benefits of ICT, which has changed the way people live and interact with one another. People have incorporated ICT into their everyday lives, such as using cell phones to make calls, withdrawing cash out of the ATM, or using the computer to browse the internet. 

    Not only has ICT made an impact on people’s personal lives, but it has also made an impact on how businesses operate, revolutionizing the business industry. ICT has also led to the enhancement of education. Since education and the business industry are connected to the economy, ICT has become a major factor in the growing global economy. 

    However, some questions have emerged on how these effects can be measured and why we should expose these effects to the public. With ICT being such a big contributor to society through businesses, education, and the global economy, it is important for the public to measure and observe both the positive and negative impacts of ICT so that they can best prepare for the future.
