Q11: Which hardware do you use often?

Q12: What will be the effect of ICT in the future? How should people contribute as one on handling some problems relating to it?

# ANSWERS to Q12

1 ICT will really improve much from now, and people for example teachers might have a problem with students not thinking and writing their won opinion they just search it on the internet and copy paste so the students are not really learning to use their brains.

2 It will effect our life every thing will need ICT.

3 ICT will be really effective since it would be more developed and easier to use. ICT should be controlled and not be a waste.

4 It will make life a lot easier.

5 The ICT use will grow to be even useful and more problems will come from it. I don’t think people will handle it wisely.

6 It’s going to help people a lot but still will be a kind of addiction.

7 I think the effect off ICT would be either bad or good. Good because people can get a lot of information. And bad, because children will use it too much rather than doing their assignments people will use it for bad intentions.

8 It will develop in an enormous way.
