The purpose of this article is to discuss the literature review and observable experiences on mixed reality posed by the use of information and communication technology (ICT) systems in the education system in the South African landscape. Human progress in the 21st century has been characterised by the rise of computer technology, that has become a defining feature in almost all social spheres. However, the reality shows that though ICT is celebrated for its undisputed, “uncertainty” and efficient services, especially when it comes to communication, information and dissemination. It also tends to encourage the abandonment of other modes of communication, specifically in relation to teaching and learning. In discovering the challenges and possibilities posed by the information technology, the notion of a didactical triangle will be explored. Literature reveals that the advent of ICT brought about various developmental opportunities and threats to human life. This article argues that consideration of institution and context is fundamental when it comes to a better understanding of the practicalities of information technology. This article will add value by shedding light on the realities and challenges in relation to ICT on the human life. The conclusion is that interventions that relates to information and communication technology have to seriously consider the structural constraints of access and social inequity as well as the effects of coloniality.

Abstract Information and communication technology (ICT) has revolutionized almost all aspects of human life. Thus, examining the effect of this technology on social problems such as traffic congestion, environmental pollution, urban design, land use etc. is of immense importance for transportation planning. Using 303 questionnaires completed correctly by residents of Tehran, this study applied Structural Equation Modelling to investigate the effect of ICT usage in a broader definition on 27 types of out-of-home activities, which were classified into three categories of subsistence, maintenance and leisure activities. The results showed the complementary/generation effect of ICT usage on travel demand. The use of ICT was also found to increase the time spent on subsistence activities and decrease the time spent on maintenance activities, as out-of-home maintenance activities can be carried out more easily and rapidly by Internet, and so people naturally prefer to follow this approach.

Tourism provides many advantages for Sweden and the whole world, as well as its travelers. Since almost all types of tourism are currently in crisis as a result of the current COVID-19 pandemic, information and communication technology is expected to play a role, not only during the crisis but also in the post-COVID-19 era. Thus, with no expectations from types of tourism, Sweden needs to broaden its digital tours. As a result, this letter aims to classify the transition readiness of industry clusters for this digitalization move. An extended version of the TOPSIS technique was formulated and validated, plus a new framework for measuring digitalization readiness for this purpose. Lastly, analysis of the collected data proves that business tourism could lead the change, though adventure and rural tourism are at the farthest point from being considered ready to change.
