And for us to completely end our blog and for you guys, to understand more about ICT You must lnow the advantage and disadvantages of ICT.

ADVANTAGES

As what we had mention above ICT do make our life easier it help us in several ways.

It feels like the main advantage of ICT is its ability to connect billions of people around the world. It helps us to communicate with our love ones, all over the world without thinking about thier distance from us. ICT helps to connect people globally, especially those families that far from each other. With the use of Skype they could at least see each other’s faces.Second is the easy access to information, with the help of ICT it is easy for us to get relevant information at anytime, anywhere. Woth the help of WiFi. Lots of data has been published online whether for entertainment, or for educational purposes.Third is that ICT build bridge to fill the cultural gap since technology can provide information about anything, you can easily know the cultures of each and everyone. And you realize immediately that we all have different cultures and perspective in life. That could be use to avoid complications and arguments.ICT helps young generations to be more creative and to show their talent to everyone by the use of social media,like YouTube.There are still alot of advantages that has not been tackled, but we might take some time to talk about everything. So let us now proceed to another one.

DISADVANTAGE OF TECHNOLOGY

ICT may have lots of advantages, but just like other things it has also some disadvantages.
First of disadvantages is that people who spend too much time sitting in the front of computer can easily gets ill. Radiation emitted by computer’s screen is harmful to eyes. People who spend too much time at their homes (because they needn’t go anywhere, they can do everything using Internet) are getting weaker. Sitting a for long time is also harmful to the spine. Second is that internet can be addictive to people,some people just cant live without it. They have no real friends, because they are thinking that Internet is their friend.The most important thing is we people tend to be dependent with technologies. Man no longer needs to think. Even if the calculator is a good invention, man no longer makes mental calculation and no longer works his memory.
Finally, as most technological discoveries aim to reduce human effort, it would imply that more work is done by machines. This equates to less work for people. Which means a machine can replace two or three people. Thus making unemployed persons increase.
