INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES

ICT (information and communication technologies) are processes and methods of interaction with information that are carried out with the use of computers and telecommunications. The role of ICT in modern society at present can be seen a constant increase in the impact of media technologies on people. Especially strong impact they have on children: even twenty years ago, the child would prefer to watch a movie than read a book. Today, however, under the powerful press of information, advertising, computer technology, electronic toys, game consoles, etc. today's young people are increasingly detached from reality. Now, if the student can not avoid reading the book, he no longer goes to the library, and downloads it to your tablet. Very often you can see this picture: in the Park, Park or shopping Mall sits a group of young people, they do not communicate with each other, all their attention is focused on smartphones, tablets, laptops. If such a phenomenon will be observed in the future, soon the children will completely forget how to communicate. And here the Ministry of education of many countries on our planet instead of having to develop students interest in living fellowship and study in General, decided to take the path of least resistance and give the kids what they want. According to some experts, the child's brain perceives new information better if it is presented in an entertaining form, which is why they easily perceive the data offered in the classroom with the help of media (in this regard, the use of information and communication technologies in education is constantly growing). It is difficult to argue with this, but the reverse side of the medal of this educational process is that children cease to communicate with the teacher, which means that the ability to think is reduced. Much better to rebuild the learning process, so it was not boring and always supported the child's thirst for new knowledge.

Computer (computer, MFA: [kəmpjuː.tə (ɹ)] [1] - "calculator") - a device or system capable of performing a specified, clearly defined, variable sequence of operations. This is most often the operation of numerical calculations and data manipulation, but this includes operations.

The word computer is derived from English words to compute, computer, which are translated as "compute", "calculator" (the English word, in turn, derives from the Latin computāre - "calculate"). Originally in English, this word meant a person who performs arithmetic calculations with or without the involvement of mechanical devices. Later, its value was transferred to the machines themselves, but modern computers perform many tasks not directly related to mathematics.

The first interpretation of the word computer appeared in 1897 in the Oxford Dictionary of English. His compilers then understood the computer as a mechanical computing device. In 1946, the vocabulary was supplemented with additions allowing the separation of the concepts of a digital, analog and electronic computer.

The concept of a computer should be distinguished from the concept of an electronic computer (computer); the latter is one way to implement a computer. The computer implies the use of electronic components as its functional nodes, but the computer can be arranged on other principles - it can be mechanical, biological, optical, quantum, etc., working by moving mechanical parts, moving electrons, photons or effects other physical phenomena. In addition, the type of operation of the computer can be digital (digital) and analog (AVM). On the other hand, the term "computer" implies the possibility of changing the executable program (reprogramming), which is possible not for all types of computers.

Currently, the term computer, as referring more to the specific physical implementation of the computer, is almost superseded from everyday use and is mainly used by digital electronics engineers as a legal term in legal documents, as well as in the historical sense - to designate computer technology 1940-1980- ies and large computing devices, as opposed to personal ones.11.
