- 1. Trends and Issues in ICT
- 2. . Explicitation Every year, current trends emerge in the ICT business. In the modern world, one needs to be conversant with all the different trends they encompass. Knowledge of the Current patterns will be beneficial for whatever one's vocation. You or anybody else recognizes the possibilities of enhancements as well as the advancement of this kind of business. The technology sector is presently going through unparalleled expansion. Increasingly more Companies are trying to grow within this sector due to its excellent potential. ICT has become recognized as an important and appreciated element within the present Organizational structure. What are the available ICT trends? Should we be attempting to locate it on the internet, there's a huge volume of knowledge on the patterns, but for our lesson, we'll just accentuate the following patterns.
- 3. • Super apps, the ICT super trend Asia, particularly China, is the origin of this idea. These are applications that combine a lot of services so users can have access to a single application that does everything. The services include a dedicated messaging area and a bank transfer area. As they boost their competitiveness and foster customer loyalty, they are becoming more and more well-known among businesses.
- 4. • Explosion of the metaverse in the business world With the creation of virtual spaces that can blur physical barriers, the virtual world hopes to realize its great potential and excel in important fields like the potential to change the way people live, work, and shop.
- 5. • MedTech, the revolution in medicine The convergence of IoT and MedTech represents a significant chance to leverage digital technologies like virtual care, RPA, AI, and others to overcome obstacles and settle disputes in the modern healthcare industry.
- 6. • Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity The primary goal of this technology is to increase data security on smart networks; therefore, businesses should prioritize optimizing smart device security capabilities.
- 7. Blockchain, one of the most secure ICT trends guarantees that the integrity of data is maintained while doing away with single control over information and party middlemen. To enable the automation of transactions and communications, the data are thus stored in a highly secure and encrypted manner, thereby providing an unquestionable boost to digital identity.
- 8. Issues in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) • Cybersecurity threats: With the increasing reliance on digital systems and the internet, cybersecurity threats such as hacking, malware, phishing, and cyber attacks have become a significant concern for individuals, businesses, and governments. Protecting sensitive data and critical infrastructure from cyber threats is a top priority.
- 9. • Data privacy and regulation: The collection, storage, and use of personal data by companies and organizations have raised concerns about data privacy. • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation: The rapid development of AI and automation technologies has raised concerns about job displacement, algorithmic bias, and ethical implications.
- 10. • Slow Internet Connections: Causes like network congestion, distance from server, outdated hardware or software • Viruses: Different types like trojans, worms, ransomware that can corrupt data, steal info. How they spread through downloads, emails, networks.
- 11. Other potential issues: • E-waste and environmental impact of hardware/devices • IT personnel shortages and skills gaps • Digital divide and access inequalities • Ethical issues around AI, autonomous systems • Regulation and governance of emerging technologies Worked Example Here are examples of recent trends and issues in ICT such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and cybersecurity.
- 12. Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale. Cyber security is the application of technologies, processes, and controls to protect systems, networks, programs, devices and data from cyber attacks. It aims to reduce the risk of cyber attacks and protect against the unauthorised exploitation of systems, networks, and technologies. Artificial intelligence (AI), the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings. The internet of things, or IoT, is a network of interrelated devices that connect and exchange data with other IoT devices and the cloud. ig data refers to data that is so large, fast or complex that it's difficult or impossible to process using traditional methods. A blockchain is “a distributed database that maintains a continuously growing list of ordered records, called blocks.” These blocks “are linked using cryptography. Each block contains a cryptographic hash of the previous block, a timestamp, and transaction data.
