The World Information Society Day (previously known as World Telecommunication Day), which was held for the first time in 1969, is held each year on 17 May to commemorate the founding of the ITU in 1865. Each year, different countries or cities carry out various activities to celebrate this Day.

From 2006, the World Telecommunication Day was renamed as World Information Society Day to help raise awareness, on an annual basis, on the enormous possibilities that Information and Communication Technologies ( ICTs) can bring to all economies and societies and explore ways to bridge the digital divide.

The digital revolution has opened new opportunities to attain higher levels of development. These new technologies are powerful instruments in increasing productivity, generating economic growth and employment, and improving the living standards for all. We desperately need more young generation to join the ICT industry to carry on further developments.

This year, Communications Association of Hong Kong (CAHK) and the Office of Mr. Sin Chung Kai, Legislative Councillor (IT), join hands to celebrate the World Information Society Day in Hong Kong . One of the main objectives is to enable the secondary and tertiary students to experience the power of ICT and know more about the industry for their future career development.

We will arrange telecom tour with career talk, "Harmony in Motion" Scholastic SMS/MMS Composition Competition, and CAHK Trophy in the coming months. Prizes presentation to winners will be conducted at a launching ceremony on the World Information Society Day official date (i.e. 17 May 2007 ).

 


 

「 香港世界資訊社會日 」( 前身為「世界電訊日」 ) 是為紀念國際電信聯盟 (ITU) 在 1865 年 5 月 17 日成立而設的日子 。每年這天，不同的國家／城市都會舉辦不同的活動以慶祝。

由 2006 年開始，「世界電訊日 」正式被改名為「 香港世界資訊社會日 」，目的為在每年幫助提高資訊及通訊科技 (ICT)帶來經濟及社會巨大機會之察覺性，與及探究方法以收窄數碼鴻溝 。

數碼的革命性變化開啟新的機會以達到發展更進一步，這些新的科技是帶來生產力 、 產生經濟及就業增長 、 及改善整體生活水準的強大工具 。我們極之需要青年的一代加入 ICT行業來承接以後的發展。

今年，香港通訊業聯會 (CAHK) 及單仲偕立法會議員辦事處擄手慶祝「 香港世界資訊社會日 」。其中一個主要的目的是讓中學及大專學生體會 ICT 的力量及認識這行業更多，並鼓勵他們投身ICT事業。

在 ３至６月期間，我們會安排一連串的活動以慶祝這日子，包括：認識電訊半天遊 、 共建和諧樂融融學界 SMS 及 MMS 創作大賽，與及香港通訊業聯會盃 。慶典及頒獎典禮會在 「 香港世界資訊社會日 」當日(即2007年5月17日)舉行。
