Information technology is the integrated and systematic form of processes and procedures used to store, manage, process and deliver information.

On the other hand communication is a two-way process. Communication is a medium of exchange between the source of information and the receiver of information. Both information and communication complement each other.

Information and communication technology are interrelated. Basically communication without information is of no importance. On the other hand, it is not possible to convey information from one place to another without communication. Therefore it is clear that there is a close relationship between information and communication technology.

Information and communication technology is called Information Communication Technology (ICT). In today's modern information and communication technology era information is now the most important resource. Another important things is that discipline is most essential for proper use of these resources. The main task of information and communication technology is to serve the overall information in front of the people through communication according to the needs from various modern perspectives. Technology is closely related to human life in modern times.

Information and communication technology is useful to us every moment. People have been receiving information and communication technology services using various media. Notable among them are mobile, telephone, computer, software, network, radio, television, satellite communication system etc. The use of information and communication technology is essential for development and progress in the modern world. The use of information and communication technology is increasing day by day in every country of the world.

Information and communication technology is inextricably linked with modern life. There is hardly a person in the world who has not used technology in one way or another.

Information and communication technology is used from ordinary people to the big works of the state. From waking up to going to sleep we are constantly using technology at every moment. Due to the Covid-19 the use of technology has gained a lot of importance. Communication did not stop even though people were under house arrest during the pandemic. They were able to get each other's news using internet technology. In addition to this it was known about the situation in different countries of the world at that time. From the ancient civilization to today's urban civilization we can see an unprecedented change.

Information and communication technology has brought this revolutionary change. The level of society that has not yet been touched by science has not yet been touched by progress. So it can be said that the development of civilization is based on information and communication technology. In today's era of information and communication technology everything depends on technology. Without technology people are completely immobile now.

But the concern is that just as the good aspects of technology are benefiting us the bad aspects of this technology are also creating danger for us. So in modern life everyone should master the positive uses of information and communication technology and completely avoid its negative uses. It is necessary to pay great attention to the fact that modern information and communication technology does not harm us in any way.

We all have to do whatever is possible for that with responsibility. All conscious citizens should invest their minds and talents towards the positive use of modern information and communication technology to protect the future generation and give a much better future.

Through the positive use of information and communication technology every human being should be enlightened in the bright light of technology. To free information and communication technology from all corruption, information must be kept away from all forms of misuse. Only then the proper development of human civilization is possible.
