| style="width: 50%;" |What is this bonobo doing: can you guess?  You are correct! It is "fishing" for termites from an ant hill.  Did you think only human beings can fish?  When it was first discovered in the 1920s that chimpanzees can make tools, all over the scientific community, people were amazed.  This was because human beings were defined as the species which makes tools for use.  Dr Louis Leakey, a famous noted primatologist said " We have to define what is a tool, or we have to define what is a human being or we have to accept that chimpanzees are human beings!".

| style="width: 50%;" |What is special about this car?  Did you guess?  Yes, it has no driver.  When you drive, you gather information about the road, other vehicles, people, animals and weather and you operate the controls.  Gathering information, processing, analyzing and acting, has been a defining characteristic of the human species. If a car can now do this, do you feel like asking the same question as about the chimpanzee?  What do you feel?

Computers are no longer mere output devices but rather devices that can help us create, draw, compose music,communicate and do so much more; the idea of ICT has moved far beyond the mere computer. ICT and broadly digital technologies are changing the way we talk, we learn and we work.
