|Growth of ICT can be seen to be broadly in terms of 4 ages - premechanical, mechanical, electromechanical and electronic age. While technology for information creation, storage and processing has been developing continuously, one important development which changed the course of technology is the development of digital technologies in the electronic area. Whereas during the electromechanical area, information was stored largely stored in analog formats, What makes our society now different from ever before is the presence of digital technologies. | |Growth of ICT can be seen to be broadly in terms of 4 ages - premechanical, mechanical, electromechanical and electronic age.
