Week 6

Week six was on 20^th February 2012. From 8:30 to 10:00 AM. In this class we continue our study about information Technology. Now, let's move onto the topic about ICT in government. 

ICT in government:ICT and Technology is a basic infrastructure necessary for economic and social development of a country.

This is even becoming stronger than ever as information related economic activities are growing.

Information and communications technology may be described as the support of the central nervous system of complex societies, transmitting and processing information and commands among the various parts of such societies.

The next one is ICT in communication. The Internet is used as public network for information and communication to the public and especially to potential customers.

Internet technology is used for an Extranet. This is a private network for the business communication with customers and suppliers. An Extranet is realised as a communication server within the company, which is accessible through the Internet for authorised users. The communication server offers the user access to information systems and employees within the company.Mainly in this week we learned the usage of ICT in different sector.

In this week we also learned about IS that means information system.

Information System:An information system and MIS (IS) - or application landscape- is any combination of information technology and people's activities that support operations, management and decision making. In a very broad sense, the term information system is frequently used to refer to the interaction between people, processes, data and technology. In this sense, the term is used to refer not only to the information and communication technology (ICT) that an organization uses, but also to the way in which people interact with this technology in support of business processes.

This all about that I learned from that day class.Thank you very much to our lecturer for his good explanation about all the topic.
