1. The full meaning of ICT is Information and Communication Technology.

2. Five uses of ICT are:

a) Communication: ICT allows people to connect and communicate through various platforms such as email, instant messaging, video conferencing, and social media.

b) Education: ICT is used in education for online learning, research, accessing educational resources, interactive multimedia presentations, and educational games.

c) Entertainment: ICT provides various forms of entertainment such as streaming services, online gaming, virtual reality experiences, digital music, and video production.

d) Business and Finance: ICT is used for managing business operations, online transactions, electronic banking, financial analysis, inventory management, and customer relationship management.

e) Information Management: ICT helps in storing, organizing, and retrieving large amounts of information efficiently through databases, digital libraries, search engines, and content management systems.

3. Analogue systems are systems that represent and transmit data or information using continuous physical quantities or signals. These signals can take any value within a range and are not discrete or quantized. Analogue systems are characterized by the smooth variation of signals and can be affected by noise and distortion.

4. Digital systems are systems that represent and transmit data or information using discrete values or signals. These signals are represented using binary digits (bits) and have two possible states, typically represented as 0s and 1s. Digital systems are more reliable, accurate, and can be processed, transmitted, and stored more efficiently compared to analogue systems.

5. Two examples of analogue systems are:

a) Analog Clock: A traditional clock with hour and minute hands that move continuously, representing time through the smooth rotation of hands around the clock face.

b) Vinyl Record Player: A record player that uses a stylus to read grooves on a vinyl record, translating the physical vibrations into an analogue audio signal.

6. Two examples of digital gadgets are:

a) Smartphone: A handheld device that combines the functionalities of a mobile phone, computer, and various digital applications. It uses a digital interface and processes information in a digital format.

b) Digital Camera: A camera that captures and stores photographs or videos in a digital format, allowing for instant viewing, editing, and sharing of the media files.
