Comment

I hate the use of 'ICT' to describe what I do. Information has to, by it's very nature, be communicated, otherwise it is merely 'data' - and in fact even the term 'data' implies that the 'something' will be useful to someone somewhere.
'IT' is everything to do with communicating this data via whatever means necessary - there is no IT without communication, there never was. IT is all about the interface between man and electronic bits - whichever way you look at it.

Perhaps we should teach English better rather than changing terms so that people can 'understand IT'.
