    IT is a subset of ICT. IT is just about computers and the retrieval and storage of information. ICT relates to the hardware and the software within IT, but also broadens to telecommunications, audio visuals and storage to store, transmit and retrieve information. I think ICT is now more used because computers have kind of merged into telecommunications with Skype, email and instant messaging. E. g. at finder we don't even have a phone system. We just use mobile phones and online video conferencing software.
