There is one thing common that is common across all these things - the use of Information Communication Technology, ICT.

Computers, cell phones, tablets - these are all words that are being used everywhere. As students, you have been introduced to some of these terms in your school, in your family or in your neighbourhood.  The cell phone tower, your nearest ATM, your mother's mobile phone, games, whatsapp chats, email, the selfie, internet, videos and songs on your computer - all these are examples of a new kind of technology.  These technologies are called digital technologies and they are changing the way we talk to each other, work with each other, and even the way we live.
