ICT can create information in so many different ways - maps, audio, video, text, numeric data.  Expressing yourself and creating materials is not limited only to text.  This means newer and newer methods of knowledge creation and sharing. You can learn in different ways.  How we learn and what is needed to be learnt have become different. For example, we no longer need to learn about a withdrawal slip, we need to know how to use the ATM.  Your teacher can now take a video of a class in your school and share it.  Different devices and applications are coming together - a mobile is approaching the computer, the internet is taking over.  <br><br>

The most important thing about ICT today is the internet.  The internet has changed the way we think of communicating.  Talking to a friend through whatsapp or telegram chats, emailing or making a video call are just some of the ways in which the internet has changed the way we interact with each other in society.  With the internet, you can connect to any computer in the world and access information.  You can join other friends, form groups to learn about many things.  Internet is also allowing new methods of learning through online courses and resource repositories.

If so many things are impacted by ICT, it is important to understand how these work, and how they should be used [[ICT_student_textbook/What_students_need_to_know_about_ethics_of_technology|ethically and safely]].  Technology should be treated like a common resource where everyone can access it, interact with it, benefit from it and contribute to it.  It should be used such that more and more people can get access in society should be treated like a public information good.
