Read the following two statements:

I: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is considered a subset of Information Technology (IT).

II: The ‘right to use’ a piece of software is termed as copyright.

Which of the above statement(s) is/are CORRECT?

This question was previously asked in
UGC NET 2016 Paper 1 Question Paper (10-Jul-2016)
The correct answer is

Neither I nor II

Let's analyze each of the statements to determine their correctness.

  1. Statement I: Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is considered a subset of Information Technology (IT).
    • Information Technology (IT) involves the use of computers, networking, and other physical devices to store, process, transmit, and manipulate data.
    • Information and Communication Technology (ICT), on the other hand, is a broader term that encompasses not only IT but also telecommunications, broadcasting media, audiovisual processing and transmission systems, and intelligent building management systems.
    • Therefore, ICT is not a subset of IT; instead, it includes IT as one of its components.

    Based on this explanation, Statement I is incorrect.

  2. Statement II: The ‘right to use’ a piece of software is termed as copyright.
    • Copyright refers to the exclusive legal right to reproduce, publish, sell, or distribute the matter and form of something (such as a literary, musical, or artistic work).
    • The 'right to use' software is often granted via a license, not copyright. A software license allows the user to use, modify, and distribute software under certain agreed-upon terms, but it does not constitute copyright.

    Thus, Statement II is also incorrect.

After evaluating both statements, we conclude that both statements are incorrect. Therefore, the correct answer is:

Neither I nor II.
