As our readings pointed out ICT is any digital device. The range of devices is wide and helps in a variety of ways. Knowing that it is not simply computers, printers and the internet. These so called devices can be categorised a dominant selection of digital appliances can be called a SMART DEVICE.
"A smart device is an electronic device that is cordless (unless while being charged), mobile (easily transportable), always connected (via WiFi, 3G, 4G etc.) and is capable of voice and video communication, internet browsing, "geo-location" (for search purposes) and that can operate to some extent autonomously."
Digital devices are simply not limited to mobile phones.
Technology has evolved from simple telephones to make voice calls on to ones that you can text, check email and get directions.
This is the same with books for many years the tradition of reading and enjoying a novel has been cherished in households for years. The new age now has the introduction of a "Kindle" this the latest craze for people to take on. It is a ICT device where a multitude of books is stored and can be read from.
My feelings about a "Kindle is that the time that we cherish to be able to pick up a book and look at the front cover and read the brief description on the back cover will be all to soon lost.
