Is there a difference between "Information Technology" and "Information and Communication Technology"?

Answer 1

Information technology (IT)[1] is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information, especially in large organizations.

In particular, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists or Business Process Consultants, and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the IT department. Other names for the latter are information services (IS) or management information services (MIS), managed service providers (MSP).

In the United Kingdom education system, information technology was formally integrated into the school curriculum when the National Curriculum was devised. It was quickly realised that the work covered was useful in all subjects. With the arrival of the Internet and the broadband connections to all schools, the application of IT knowledge, skills and understanding in all subjects became a reality. This change in emphasis has resulted in a change of name from Information Technology (IT) to Information and Communication Technology (ICT). ICT in Education can be understood as the application of digital equipment to all aspects of teaching and learning. It is present in almost all schools and is of growing influence.

The growth of use of Information Communication Technology and its tools in the field of Education has seen tremendous growth in the recent past. Technology has entered the classroom in a big way, to become part of a teaching learning process.

So basically ICT is more integrated discipline than IT.

Answer 2

A "Low information voter" in my opinion is someone who is probably young, and doesn't know much about politics, like a highschool student or someone in college. They listen to what their friends and family say and don't do any further research or develop their own opinion. They just go with what the "majority" says. By the way, doing information on global warming actually suggests that global warming is taking a lot longer than what you all expected, and it's a natural process. Wanting to read the act on Obamacare is a smart choice, since hardly anyone knew what it meant besides "free." Obama and his scandals honestly deserve an impeachment...

Yes. It's the difference between "knowledge" and "applied knowledge" - how you use it.
