How is the Information and Communication Technology Development Index determined?

The Information and Communication Technology Development Index was presented for the first time in the 2009 publication titled "Measuring the Information Society" by the International Telecom Union. Currently, various countries around the world are measuring information and communication technology using the Information and Communication Technology Development Index. It should be noted that information and communication technology National development is directly related to the development of communication technology and the following factors can be measured by the Information and Communication Technology Development Index, namely -


(i) Advancement of information and communication technology for the development of a country

(ii) Digital divide

(iii) Stages and evolution of development of information and communication technology at different times

(iv) Determining the role, scope and to-do of information and communication technology in the growth and development of the country.


To determine the development index of information and communication technology, the following three factors are calculated:


(i) Information and Communication Technology Infrastructure and Access

(ii) Use of Information and Communication Technology (USC)

(iii) Information and communication technology skills.


The International Telecom Union has ranked all the countries of the world on the ICT Development Index based on certain criteria. In this breaking, in 2008, Bangladesh's position is 137th and the value of the index is 1.41, while the highest position is Sweden, which has a value of 47.27. Our neighboring country India ranks 117 and Sri Lanka ranks 105 and their index values ​​are 1.62 and 2.51 respectively.


Main guidelines for measuring information and communication technology: The role of information and communication technology in accelerating economic growth and sustaining socio-economic development of a country is well known. There are internationally recognized indicators to monitor and measure the appropriate use of information and communication technologies for this development. Various international organizations have identified these indicators.

What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant ?

Today we talk about What are the things to consider when buying a WiFi or broadband router for home, office, park and restaurant .I never like huge introduction about any topic . I always like very shortly introduce any-things to my viewers without any-type boring .So let's began the leanrning :- 1. Decide in advance how many devices you will use. 2. Decide how much space you need coverage. 3. Understand the structure of your home. WiFi signals become weak to penetrate the walls. That is why good coverage is not available. If you have a lot of walls in your house and you want to get coverage in the whole house, then you need a router with high power and wall penetration feature. 4. Decide what features you need in addition to the internet connection. Such as: - 4.1 3G 4G Modem Support- There are many routers that can use the modem. Those routers have a USB port and a one port so that broadband lines can be used. But remember that the modem must have the ability to auto-connect. Not...

What should the processor look at?

The things that we all should keep an eye on are the processor or not; 1. Clock speed 2. Number of course 3. cache memory 4. FBS 1. Clock Speed: It is also called GH2. All processors are written on. Clock speed means how fast your computer can work. That's what this signal means. The speed of the processor is known through this clock speed, how fast the calculation can be done. 2. Number of Cores: The more cores the processor has, the faster the processor can work. If I give an example to explain the matter, I hope you can understand it very easily. Suppose if a person had many hands, then he could do many things at the same time. That is, if we go to the market and buy a smartphone, then we will see what the configurations of the phone are. If we look closely at the configuration of the smartphone, we will see that Dual Core Processor, Quad Core Processor, Octa core processor, Hexa core processor, Deca core processor. This means that the dual core processor has two arms or cores, ...

What is transmission media? Introduction to different types of data transmission cables

Transmission media: When a PC communicates or wants to communicate with another PC, it has to take the help of some transmission media. The most commonly used media in the network are twisted pair cable, coaxial cable, fiber optic cable. Nowadays, the use of optical fiber is increasing greatly. Radio wave, microwave and infrared technologies are prominent among wireless media. Among these mediums, optical fiber has the highest data transfer speed. The type of medium used in a network depends on the type and location of that network. The connection system for exchanging information between the sender and the remote receiving end is called a channel. The means or methods used to implement the channel are called media. such as-- (i) Cable or wire. (ii) Common telephone lines. (ii) Radio waves. (iv) Microwave. (v) Geo-satellite systems etc. Cable or Wire: Cable is an important medium in data communication. Cables are generally used for data transfer over short range networking such as LAN...
