PremechanicalWhen humans first started communicating they would try to use language or simple picture drawings known as petroglyths which were usually carved in rock. MechanicalThe mechanical age is when we first start to see connections between our current technology and its ancestors. ElectromechanicalThese are the beginnings of telecommunication.

IMPORTANCE

•ICT is increasing in importance in people’s lives and it is expected that this trend will continue, to the extent that ICT literacy will become a functional requirement for people’s work, social, and personal lives.

•ICT includes the range of hardware and software devices and programmes. It also includes the communications equipment through which people seek and access information including the Internet, email and video conferencing.

•The use of ICT in appropriate contexts in education can add value in teaching and learning, by enhancing the effectiveness of learning. ICT may also be a significant motivational factor in students’ learning, and can support students’ engagement with collaborative learning.

Mockup SoftwareIn manufacturing and design, a mockup, or mock-up, is a scale or full-size model of a design or device, used for teaching, demonstration, design evaluation, promotion, and other purposes. A mockup is a prototype if it provides at least part of the functionality of a system and enables testing of a design. Mock-ups are used by designers mainly to acquire feedback from users. Mock-ups address the idea captured in a popular engineering one-liner: You can fix it now on the drafting board with an eraser or you can fix it later on the construction site with a sledge hammer.
