Electronics

Electronics is the specific area of electrical technology involved with the movement of electrons through active, nonlinear circuits in order to modify signals, usually to process information, such as sound, video or digital data. Electronic devices include televisions, radios and computers. Electronics utilize such components as transistors or integrated circuits, and now usually take advantage of semiconductors. The broader term ‘electrical’ is usually applied to any non-electronic devices, such as motors and relays.

Electronics were born with the inventions of the radio. All electronic devices are based on the same principle of a radio—that is the circuits are used to amplify, modify and reroute electron flow in order to process information. Electronic devices have dramatically changed the world and how we collect, share, store and view information. All areas of life and society have benefited from electronics, from entertainment, to media, healthcare, recreation, travel, science and many others.

Size Of The ICT Sector

Information and communication technologies (ICT) have been at the heart of economic changes for more than a decade. ICT-producing sectors and ICT employment contribute to technological progress and productivity growth.

Definition

The industry-based definition of the ICT sector is based on Revision 3 of the International Standard Industrial Classification (ISIC Rev. 3).

The principles underlying this definition are the following. For manufacturing industries, an ICT product must fulfil the function of information processing and communication, including transmission and display; and they must use electronic processing to detect, measure and/or record physical phenomena or control a physical process. For services industries, ICT products must enable information processing and communication by electronic means. These two measures of ICT production are expressed as a share of the total value added in the manufacturing and business services. Two measures of ICT employment are shown here: a narrow measure, comprising ICT specialists whose job is directly focused on ICT such as software engineers; and a broader measure including jobs that regularly use ICT but are not focused on ICT per se (these occupations include scientists and engineers, as well as office workers, but exclude teachers and medical specialists for whom the use of ICT is not essential for their tasks). These two measures of ICT employment are expressed as a share of total employment.
