WOMEN AND INFORMATION COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY(ICT)

Page 2: PPT WOMEN AND ICT.pptx

MEANING OF ICTInformation and communications technology (ICT) refers to all the technology used to handle telecommunications, broadcast media, intelligent building management systems, audio-visual processing and transmission systems, and network-based control and monitoring functions.

Although ICT is often considered an extended synonym for information technology (IT), its scope is more broad.

HISTORY OF ICT• The phrase Information and Communication Technologies has

been used by academic researchers since the 1980s• The term ICT became popular after it was used in a report to

the UK government by Dennis Stevenson in 1997 and in the revised National Curriculum for England, Wales and Northern Ireland in 2000

ROLE OF ICT for empowering Rural women

Today is the era of Information Communication Technology (ICT). Various ICT tools are used to educate and inform the rural people. For generations, rural people have been living in complete isolation without much access to modern media of communication. The development of a society largely depends on the access to information. Even though we live in the modern era, today, in the rural areas, women are suffering from various problems such as less accessibility to modern information sources.

Meet 4 women whose inventions and innovations have shaped today’s IT.

Also known as mother of technology.1. SUSAN KAREShe also created the Happy Mac icon, which greeted Apple users when they booted their machines, and the trash can icon, which let users know where to put files they no longer wanted.

2. GRACE HOPPERCalled the Queen of Software by some and Grandma COBOL by others, Navy Rear Admiral Grace Hopper helped invent some of the early English-language programming languages. She is most famously associated with the Common Business-Oriented Language (COBOL), which was based on the flow-mate language that she designed back in 1958.

3. MARY LOU JIPSENMary Lou Jipsen knows that the screen is the gateway to all of the transformative powers that a computer can hold. She co-founded and served as the chief technology officer of Micro Display in 1995, where worked on creating small screens.

2. Radia Perlman

Network engineer Radia Perlman helped make Ethernet technology a household name. Her Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) made it possible to build massive networks using Ethernet by creating a mesh network of layer-2 bridges and then disabling the links that aren’t part of the tree.

MAJOR TECH CONTRIBUTIONS FROM ENTERPENURIAL WOMEN

According to the U.S. Department of Commerce, women's share of STEM jobs has not increased over the past decade, despite the demographics' rise in college degrees.This Women's History Month (March), we're celebrating the innumerable contributions from women toward today's tech landscape. Women have created computer programming languages, changed the way we connect on social networks and innovated in the e-commerce space.

women have a long history in tech. Ada Lovelace, a women who lived in Britain in the 1800s, is considered the first computer programmer. Grace Hopper developed the first computer compiler. And without the work of Radia Perlman, the female developer of the Ethernet the spanning tree protocol, the modern Internet wouldn't be what it is today.Each year, more cutting edge applications and scientific advancements come from women, a largely underrepresented demographic in STEM fields. However, many of the few women holding STEM degrees opt out of the field for careers in education or healthcare.
