A tic is a convulsion or agitation produced by the involuntary contraction of one or more muscles and that is repeated from time to time. This excessive activity is reduced when the subject is distracted or when attempts are made to reduce the frequency or violence of the movements.
Tics are most common in children between the ages of eight and twelve and often disappear after adolescence. It is possible to distinguish between tics that are born for psychological reasons (with movements that, in a first phase, were repeated voluntarily) and those of neurophysiological origin (as in the case of Tourette’s disease). This last mentioned disorder, Tourette’s, we can establish that it is characterized by the fact that those who suffer from it present a large number of tics not only at a physical or motor level, but also at a vocal level. Likewise, it is necessary to emphasize that the cause of this syndrome has not yet been discovered, although it is known that it is the result of a series of defects in various parts of the brain.
Currently there are several treatments for patients with this mentioned disease who suffered from some of the most important characters in our history, such as the composer Amadeus Mozart, Napoleon Bonaparte, the writers Hans Christian Andersen and Moliere, or whoever. Tsar of Russia Peter the Great. The treatment of tics is usually based on special muscle relaxation exercises, psychoanalysis and, in some cases, the supply of anxiolytics. The objective is to minimize the person’s level of anxiety and look for the possible psychological conflict that is the starting point of the tics. Experts stress that permanent corrections or interrogations of tic sufferers should be avoided, as they are counterproductive. TIC is also the acronym for Information and Communication Technologies. The concept is used to name the techniques related to the management and dissemination of information. Telephony, the Internet, video games, digital players and computers are part of the ICT field. These mentioned technologies have become, for example, indispensable in many schools in Spain. Thus, there is an increasing number of schools and institutes that receive the name ICT, because they have facilities and devices that allow their teachers to teach the different subjects through them. This, in turn, means that students can learn the corresponding subjects in a way that is not only more enjoyable and fun, but also with interactive activities at their fingertips, thanks to web pages or blogs, as well as WebQuest exercises, through big scale. number of resources, this will make it easier for you to understand the lessons and acquire skills.
The notion of ICT encompasses both the technological advances in these areas, the economic sector that encompasses them and the tools that seek to improve the quality of human life.
