ICT

There are many definitions of information technology and communication that can be found mainly in terms of field of study we need to define them. For example, see how Jorge Enrique Granados Diaz offers four, in less than half a page. Personally, for broad and adequate to the purpose of these lines, I stay with Stephen Haag, Maeve Cummings and Donald J. MaCubbrey referenced in the article, because it is simple, understandable and includes all those elements that are ultimately used to incorporate our existence:

"The information technology component of any computer-based tool that people use to work with information, support information and processing the information needs of an organization. Under this definition they include ICT within personal computers, Internet, mobile phones, digital assistants and all those people like devices. "

Surely somewhere else we will find that "an organization" has been replaced by "people" that our purpose is what interests us. The tool par excellence of this whole Internet was not very peaceful purposes, but has become a channel for information and basic communication in the developed world and is widely used on a personal level. Those who practice what we are here, so it should not expand on the subject.

A brief history of the Internet offers us, among others, Janet Abbate in Inventing the Internet. Cambridge: MIT Press, 1999, while Andreu Baró Veà us with the prospect of one of the leading players in its development.

But for now Let the idea that when we talk about ICT here, we refer to the Internet, basically, but we will see, with mobile, PDA's and Digital Terrestrial Television, as mechanisms for the generation, transmission and reception of information.

Try to see if this serves to facilitate social choice mechanisms, focusing on which I believe is the largest of which have been implemented in this country, although still in its infancy: the broadcast media in the transformation process of Diagonal Avenue of Barcelona, but that just speaks from the perspective of ICT-based procedure. In principle, generators and receivers of information should be fed back their positions by providing information on a two-way.
