Information and communication technology (ICT) have become commonplace in all sectors of modern life, including education and business. Over the past twenty years, the use of Information and communication technology has profoundly altered the practices and procedures of practically all types of business and governance. Although Information and communication technology has begun to make an appearance in education, its impact has not been as widespread as it has been in other disciplines. In today's society, education is a very socially oriented activity, and effective education has traditionally been linked with strong teachers who have a high level of personal touch with their students. However, as the world rapidly moves into digital media and information, the role of Information and communication technology in education is becoming increasingly significant, and this relevance will continue to expand and evolve in the twenty-first century. The use of information and communication technology has a significant impact on the development of educational curriculum. This paper examines the impact of information and communication technology on modern higher education, as well as prospective future advancements. This paper also discusses the integration of teaching and learning, technological advancement, educational issues, the impact of Information and communication technology on what, how, where, and when students study, and the role of teachers in the development of Information and communication technology for future applications.
