Capabilities+and+limitations+of+ICT

=Capabilities and Limitations of ICT= Ok, first let us define the terms: Therefore, this page is all about how ICT can do somethings but can't do everything.
 * Capabilities: the state of being able to do something
 * Limitations: the state of being restricted

What ICT can do:
 * Makes communications easy
 * Obviously, because ICT= Information //Communication// Technology
 * E.g. Networks, Cell phones, the Internet and Satellite Communications could not have happened without the help of ICT
 * Combines data
 * Computers analyze date in patterns and trends with their great processors
 * E.g. Satellite imaging, medical research and scientific research
 * Searches and sorts out the data
 * With computers you can get the ingormation you need quickly
 * E.g. Google
 * Provides large storage of data
 * Computers can store much more data digitally in their hard drives than we can in out heads
 * E.g. The internet, USB sticks, DVDs, Hard drives, etc
 * Gives calculations
 * Imagine calculating the income of a large company with one calculator, probably not too easy...Therefore we need computers to calculate this things repetitively no matter how many calculations we need. This way, we save time, money and physical labour
 * Some examples would be: Banking, Calculating the payroll of employees, Ultility Bills

How ICT is restricted:
 * Hardware is pushed to it's limits
 * Even though they have o much space for storage, they have a limit (RAM). And the more data and programs that are on your computer, the slower it gets.
 * Some times, what humans can do is hard for computers.
 * Reading handwriting accurately, (e,g, OCR) and adapting to new environments is not easy for computers.
 * "Bugs" and design mistakes
 * Bugs can lead to system failure or corruption
 * System performance depends on how it was designed. (E.g. Design stage in System Life Cycle)
 * Lastly, even though ICT provides lots of software and hardware to make our lives easier, it's also getting harder to understand. Therefore, we need traing to make the most of ICT, and those who don't have that training can not use computers to their full potential.
