Question

Explain the role and importance of information communication in science and technology.

Answer 1

The role of information communication in science and technology are the following:

• Learning science has become easier and more enriching now, thanks to science and technology.
• With the help of simulations, science and technology are now assisting students in learning by conducting cost-effective experiments and demonstrations.
• This technology is becoming increasingly suitable for students to perform and observe experiments at home.

The importance of information communication in science and technology is the following:

• It has enabled us to predict and forecast weather conditions by studying meteors.
• With the help of the internet, one can collect scientific information and also share it with the help of emails or other social networking sites. It provides information on almost every topic.
• Some experiments and concepts in science can be demonstrated effectively using simulations and animations. eg. functioning of the nervous system.
• A prototype of new research in the field of science can be built in various program software which runs on a computer.
• It has enabled scientists to gather information related to happening in space.
• It has enabled the broadcasting of information related to agriculture to farmers living in remote areas to improve their agriculture productivity and sustainability.
