ICT technology is the organic combination of telecommunication service, information service, IT service and application, and is a new concept and new technology field formed by the integration of information technology and communication technology. Covers all communication equipment and application software, such as televisions, mobile phones, computers, network hardware and software, satellite systems, televisions, etc. And related services and applications such as video conferencing and distance learning.

ICT covers many technical directions, such as: cloud computing, cloud services, big data, artificial intelligence, Hongmeng, Kunpeng, Internet of Things, data center, network security, Datacom. There are many general directions of ICT, one of which is that ICT includes CT and IT, so what are the directions of these two?

The current mainstream CT directions are: data communication, network security, data center, unlimited. The current mainstream IT direction is data computing, big data, Hongmeng, AI deep learning/computer. The main application scenarios of ICT technology are very wide. Mainly including but not limited to: ‌, ‌ communication ‌ realize voice, data ‌, ‌ image such as a variety of information transmission and exchange, ‌ including fixed telephone, ‌ mobile phone, ‌, ‌, such as the Internet. ‌ healthcare ‌, ‌ implement medical informatization, ‌, ‌ intelligence, such as health care, telemedicine, ‌, such as electronic medical records, ‌ ‌, ‌ telemedicine health monitoring, etc. ‌ In the field of education ‌ : ‌ education informatization, ‌ distance education, ‌ online education, ‌ such as e-learning, ‌ online courses ‌. ‌ transportation ‌ : ‌ intelligent transportation, ‌ traffic monitoring, ‌ navigation, ‌ such as intelligent traffic management system, ‌ self-driving vehicles and so on ‌. ‌ In addition, ‌ICT is also widely used in finance, ‌ energy, ‌ government services, ‌ entertainment and media and other fields ‌.

The driving forces for the development of ICT technology in the future are: relevant policies to promote the informatization of the national economy, the rapid development of the Internet and information technology, the increasing demand for enterprise informatization, the continuous improvement of social awareness of informatization and the increasingly mature demand, and the rapid development of the economy. In the future, ICT will continue to provide core productivity in many industries: smart home, smart city, mobile payment, online shopping, smart government affairs, online travel, unmanned factories, telemedicine, shared bicycles, Internet TV, high-speed rail scheduling, Internet conferencing, Internet takeaway, aerospace information, infotainment.

The digital transformation brought by cloud computing and big data has given new impetus to economic development. In the fierce competition market, enterprises can improve brand value through information technology, build cloud integrated management, and ICT technology will be more information, intelligent and technological. In the future, the ITC industry will have a variety of jobs, such as after-sales information technology, pre-sales technology, technical sales, after-sales implementation, technology implementation, technology management, entrepreneurship and so on.

With the continuous evolution of networks, technological innovation and upgrading, and increasingly rich applications, the ICT talent gap is getting larger and larger. 70% of the future ICT talent demand gap will be concentrated in emerging fields such as cloud, large, material, and intelligence. World Bank research estimates that in the next 10 years, there will be a global ICT talent gap of 7 million. In the future, the increasing gap of ICT talents does not mean that the threshold is getting lower and lower. On the contrary, the requirements for talents will also get higher and higher, mainly reflected in the following three aspects: business talents and technical talents cooperate with each other, integrate comprehensive ability training into industry knowledge, business research and judgment ability, etc.; Rich project practical experience, able to deal with complex technical scenarios; Received systematic career guidance and obtained the authoritative certification of high gold content.

ICT technology is applied in many fields, such as project management, which can be used in data management, communication and project tracking, etc., which can effectively improve the execution efficiency of projects. Socially and economically, ICT technology changes the way people work, communicate, learn and live, and has a huge impact on economic development and business growth. Some people call it the core of the fourth Industrial Revolution. In environmental protection, ICT technology and infrastructure can protect the environment, save energy and reduce emissions, and provide strong support for the construction of a green earth.
