The Impact of ICT on the Society

As it is known, from time immemorial, everything in life is like two sides of a coin, there is always the positive and the negative side of every phenomenon. Whether the effect is positive or negative, the effects of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) are far-reaching and can never be overemphasized. It merely looks at how individuals and organizations are affected.

• Information Technology can empower teachers and learners to promote change, and foster the development of 21st-century skills – this makes teaching and learning student-centred.

• It is believed that Information Technology can have positive effects on students’ achievements when used appropriately to complement teachers’ teachings. The teacher becomes a facilitator of the outcome.

• Information Technology helps to improve students’ self-study or tutorials on PCs.
