Description
GENERAL APPLICATION OF ICT
ICT Application in Everyday Life
ICT is an acronym for Information Communication Technology. It covers all forms of
computer and communication equipment and software used to create, design, store,
transmit, interpret and manipulate information in its various formats. Examples of ICT
TOOLS are laptops, tablets, network technologies, mobile phones and so on as well
as the various services and applications associated with them such as video
conferencing, telecomputing and so on.
ICT APPLICATIONS
E-LEARNING: ICT can contribute to achieving universal education worldwide, through
the delivery of education and training of teachers and offering improved conditions for
long life learning, encompassing people that are outside the formal education process
and improving professional skills.
Benefits
• Develop domestic policies to ensure that ICTs are fully integrated in education
and training at all levels.
• Promote e-literacy skills for all, for example by taking advantage of existing
facilities such as libraries and so on.
• Develop distance learning, training and other forms of education as part of
capacity building programmes.
• Help to train users to develop self-learning and self-development capacities.
E-BUSINESS
• Better Customer Service: E-business has improved customer service. Many a
time on visiting a website, the customer is greeted by a pop-up chat window.
Readily available customer service may help in encouraging the customer to
know about the product or services.
• Reduces Transaction Cost: Websites are sufficiently loaded with directions to
facilitate stress free transactions. The mode of payments is predetermined,
promising security to the customer. All you are left with, as the proprietor of your
online business, is to download the requirement order and ship it.
• Flexible Business Hours: E-business breaks down the time barriers that locationbased businesses encounter, because the internet is available 24hrs a day.

INTRODUCTION TO ECONOMICS
Economics is a social science which studies allocation of scarce resources which have
alternative uses among competing and limitless wants of the consumer in the society. It
therefore concerns the way people apply knowledge, skills and effort to satisfy human
wants or provide for material well being.
Human wants – Refer to peoples’ desire for goods and services and circumstances that
enhance material well being.
Economics resources – These are ingredients available for providing goods and services.
They are also called factors of production which include land, labour, capital and
entrepreneurship. A resource must be scarce and have money value. Resources are
categorized as either natural or manmade
i. Natural resources – Refer to anything given by nature example soils, lakes and
mountains.
ii. Man-made resources – Refer to anything created by man to assist in production
of goods and services example tools, equipment and building.
Scarcity and Choice
Scarcity - Resources are scarce if their availability is not enough to produce goods and
services to satisfy all wants. Resources are therefore said to be limited and hence choices
have to be made.
Choice is the decision to satisfy one want out of many alternatives. This means others have
to be forgone.
Opportunity cost
Refer to the value of benefit expected from the best second alternative forgone. Since
resources are scarce and have competing alternative uses, choice to satisfy one means
another is forgone
Economic and Non Economic goods
Economic goods – These are goods produced with scarce resources e.g. clothes and
therefore a price has to be paid to obtain them.
Non – Economic goods – are free goods hence no price has to be paid for them e.g.
sunshine, ai

APA STYLE REFERENCING SIMPLIFIED
Trending!
Acknowledging a source in your work is somehow a play with your understanding of the information that you are passing across, though the approach is similar. One can begin by first acknowledging the source of the information (author of the information you are using) then follow with the text that contains the information you are presenting: e.g Jones (1998) notes that following instructions in any examination is as important as passing the examination itself.
