ICTs in Medicine
ICTs are used a lot in medicine. For example, it is used on body scanners to look inside the patient and see what the problem/ disease is., also to look for tumors and other abnormalities. Other use is for patient monitoring. When you are in the hospital, workers connect you to a monitor, that tell the vitals, like pulse. It helps the doctor to be monitoring patient easier. Also for organ transplants, because all the people who needs a organ are in a database, so when there is a organ, see who is compatible.
ICTs in food design and production
Some examples of uses of ICTs in food design and production are: making the wrapper for the food with apps and send it to their supervisors. Other is using machines to coordinate the work, or make it, like there are machines with the data of what is supposed to be the people doing, or machines doing things. Also for administrating the workplace and the design ideas.
ICTs in supermarkets
One use of ICTs in here is to monitor and control stock, because there is a database to keep in control the quantity of objects in the market. Also the supermarket checkout machines (EPOS terminals) that are used to charge the price of the object. Also to make sales analysis to know what are the most sold objects and which ones are not that popular.
ICTs in banks
The ICTs are used in the Automated Teller Machines (ATM) for withdraw cash, check an account balance, order a cheque book, etc. Also the smart cards, credit or debit cards to use money to buy things. Also there is the Electronic Funds transfer (EFT) used also to pay things instead of using cash. But on this one is that the bank account is updated right away so there is no need to wait for cheques to clear.
I think that ICTs are used a lot in actual world because of the advances of technology. Technology is the use of scientific knowledge for practical purposes, to make life easier. So in this technological world, the applications of ICTs are increasing non stop, because every day you discover something new.
