  It's what UK schools called IT when it entered the school curriculum. Not really sure what motivated the C, maybe it justified classes using the nascent web.

    Communications. I used it, because "software engineer" is too specific, "engineer" is too broad, and we now have sociologists, artists, AI theoreticians, mathematicians, engineers, computer scientists, VLSI design and layout specialists, systems management, network administration, protocol design.... ICT is a useful umbrella term. I do not believe it is UK specific or School specific.

    > Not really sure what motivated the C People who don't realize that "communication" is an exchange of information, therefore already included in "information technology"?
