Information and Communications Technology

     Information and Communications Technology or (ICT), is a term that stresses the role of unified communications and the integration of telecommunications (telephone lines and wireless signals), computers as well as necessary enterprise software, storage, and audio-visual systems, which enable users to access, store, transmit, and manipulate information.

     This requires the use of gadgets like computers, printers, cellphones, etc. But as a student, what ICT gadget really helps us the most? As a student, here is my overview and opinion on what gadget really helps the students.

For me, the most useful gadget ever made is the laptop. Why? because a laptop is a portable personal computer .A laptop has most of the same components as a desktop computer, including a display screen, a keyboard, a pointing device such as a touch-pad and speakers into a single unit. It may be smaller than our PC but it is entirely useful because it's portable, smaller and lighter. It's very convenient for us especially when we need to use a computer for our research and we need to bring it to school. Portability is usually the first feature mentioned in any comparison of laptops versus desktop PCs. Physical portability allows that a laptop can be used in many places— not only at home and at the office, but also during commuting and flights, in coffee shops, in the school, in libraries, etc. But there are also disadvantages like Performance, Upgradeability, Ergonomics and health effects and Durability.
