Draft:Common Problems in ICT (Philippines)

Information and communications technology (ICT) is widely utilized in organizations here in the Philippines. This has tremendously helped in speeding up routine processes for the public. With how fast technology is improving, wait times have been reduced drastically.

This, however, does not mean that ICT is not without issues.

These common issues can be attributed to the Models of Access as described by Mark Warschauer in his book Technology and Social Inclusion He describes three models of access, namely, Devices, Conduits and Literacy.

Devices Issues arise because of inadequacy of resources such as infrastructures and devices to access ICT.

Conduits A very common issue on ICT in the Philippines is the slow connection. As of 2022, one to two of four Filipinos does not have access to the internet.

Literacy Literacy in ICT is proportional to the users' exposure to it. This goes back to the other two models of access.
