Stand-alone computer systems can work without a telephone connection, but such systems cannot communicate with others at a distance. The real spirit of Information and Communication Technologies lies in the use of efficient telephones and their network. High quality telephone technology is an essential component for using Information and Communication Technologies in education.
At present, the rate of growth of telephones is very high. Yet, it has a long way to go. We do know that many communities in the world have not yet seen or used telephone systems at all.
These ‘quality and quantity gaps’ between ‘rich and poor’, and also between ‘old and new’ telephone-users are creating problems between nations. They have created difficulties between the providers of the Internet and potential users.
Telephone technology has gone through multiple developments. Many countries are still using old telephones coupled with their out-dated network system. On the other hand, some other countries are using roaming facilities which have the capability of transferring text, voice, and visuals. The realization of new dreams of an automatic translation telephone is getting closer and closer. The shift from analogue to digital technologies has reduced the cost. Satellite-based networks allow quality communications at affordable prices.
The impact of telephone networking is undoubtedly highly significant in present times. The ownership of networks is shifting from governments to private hands. Multi-level collaborations within nations and between nations are improving the ‘footprint’ and quality of telephone services. Yet, in the field of education, telephony is often not a high priority.
