At the end of this presentation, I should be able to have told you the definition of IT, its History and the impact it has on us. Mainly, I should have been able to determine the usefulness of IT considered in the following five dimensions:
· Computers
· Multimedia
· Virtual Reality
· Visualization
· Automation
Information Technology – A Definition:
We use the term information technology or IT to refer to an entire industry. In actuality, information technology is the use of computers and software to manage information. In some companies, this is referred to as Management Information Services (or MIS) or simply as Information Services (or IS). The information technology department of a large company would be responsible for storing information, protecting information, processing the information, transmitting the information as necessary, and later retrieving information as necessary.
History of Information Technology:
In relative terms, it wasn't long ago that the Information Technology department might have consisted of a single Computer Operator, who might be storing data on magnetic tape, and then putting it in a box down in the basement somewhere. The history of information technology is fascinating! Check out these history of information technology resources for information on everything from the history of IT to electronics inventions and even the top 10 IT bugs.
The impact/effect IT has on society
The influence of information technology on religious practices has mainly been to the effect of making information about them more accessible. The most relevant question though is whether the developments in information technologies have influenced the continuity of social attitudes, customs or institutions.
The usefulness of computers
IT is a very essential element that we use today to live, we communicate with friends and family over the internet in a short period of time. Computers are very useful as they help us achieve the goal of communication. Btu first, let us clear the kind of computer we are to talk about.
There are a lot of computers In our life time, we have cellphones, digital watches, and even a simple calculator is a computer, of which, according to me, are useful gadgets.
Let’s share about personal standard computers. Even though, they seem useful, they actually pull it’s users into a virtual world making to forget the real one. There are plenty of examples how people die because of enormously long hours of playing virtual games. Moreover, sitting too much in front of a screen causes health issues not only physically but mentally as well.
However, if you know how to properly use personal computers you can find the true usefulness of them: the capability of watching movies, reading news, chatting with friends or enemies and so long and so far.
computers can really make people lives easier, but we cannot forget how simple it is to lose our minds while using them. Gadgets we have around us have to be used carefully. In the near future, I believe, there will be even better inventions that will not cause any health issues.
Computers cannot just disappear into thin air, smaller gadgets such as Ipads and cellular phones are to take the job and cry on with it.
Multimedia related to student life and how it affect them
Activities offer fun and easy ways to get to know each other while also providing outlets for student creativity. A neat tool that works well for this is Voice thread. Students can use a computer web-cam to record a video of themselves and view other students videos, all on one page.
As a medium for learning pathology, tutorials based on interactive multimedia programs offer a number of potential advantages by comparison with traditional microscope-based classes. However, given a choice between computer-based tutorials, microscope-based practical classes, or a combination both, the majority of students prefer the combination(blended learning).
The computer-based classes were highly successful. Levels of peer interaction were very high and most students were clearly engaged with the material throughout the class. Many students elected to stay beyond the class time to explore the program further themselves. Comments often praised the programs “succinct and clear” or “easy to understand”.
Students for whom English was a second language were particularly pleased with these classes as they were able to work through the material at their own pace and were not reliant on hearing the spoken word of the academic-in-charge to learn. All students enjoyed the level of integration of material across disciplines and felt that the program “helped to draw things together”.
Coming to socialising on multimedia, of which is a thread attached to most young adults, is evolving and engaging more and more people to be attached and be an important link in that space, so multimedia is talked of day in and out, thus, to my opinion, is not going anywhere. People will still continue to talk about it for as long as there are social media companies that are available for the public to use.
Coming to a conclusion, the usefulness of IT in terms of multimedia is recognisable. It is very useful as it helps the live students to be easy
Usefulness of IT in terms of Virtual Reality
Computer-based virtual reality has been a common part of modern popular culture and technology for decades now. It is used both as a tool and also for entertainment purposes. The technology has many applications, although its importance may occasionally need some clarification.
Virtual reality is the creation of reality through a computer. The concept of virtual reality became popular with the public in the 1990s with movies such as "The Lawnmower Man." Now, it can be used in a variety of ways.
ICT has formed a virtual reality game-inspired technology that mental health professionals can use to help combat veterans with post-traumatic stress disorder. The technology is not meant to be used on the patient, but will be used on college students majoring in mental health. The virtual reality simulates the war environment in Iraq and also gives the student an avatar patient to work with.
This shows that without IT, virtual reality could not have been as effective as it is today thus find that IT determines what virtual reality is and how we maintain it. This also shows us that for as long as IT is around, then virtual reality will still be in existence.
Usefulness of IT in terms of Visualization
Visualization is any technique for creating images, diagrams, or animations to communicate a message. Visualization through visual imagery has been an effective way to communicate both abstract and concrete ideas since the dawn of man.
Examples from history include cave paintings, Egyptian hieroglyphs, Greek geometry, and Leonardo da Vinci's revolutionary methods of technical drawing for engineering and scientific purposes.
Visualization today has ever-expanding applications in science, education, engineering (e.g., product visualization), interactive multimedia, medicine, etc. Typical of a visualization application is the field of computer graphics.
The invention of computer graphics may be the most important development in visualization since the invention of central perspective in the Renaissance period. The development of animation also helped advance visualization.
The use of visualization to present information is not a new phenomenon. It has been used in maps, scientific drawings, and data plots for over a thousand years. Examples from cartography include Ptolemy's Geographia (2nd Century AD), a map of China (1137 AD), and Minard's map (1861) of Napoleon's invasion of Russia a century and a half ago. Most of the concepts learned in devising these images carry over in a straight forward manner to computer visualization.
computers are useful to detect how the visuals are processed, so the above can be determined as the usefulness of IT in terms of virsualisation.
The usefulness of IT in terms of Automation
Delivering an IT infrastructure that has the intelligence to react automatically, IT Automation Solutions provide near real-time provisioning of physical and virtual server resources to address business demand variations based on time of day, reaction to service interruptions, unanticipated surge in demand or disaster recovery. Business benefits from the optimal use of all IT assets, while reducing capital and operating expenses, improving process, ensuring compliance, and eliminating time-consuming delays.
The IT Automation Solutions can be used for internal IT applications and infrastructures. There could be a combination of consulting services and solutions to help accelerate IT process improvement and automation initiatives, resulting in significant reductions in operational and capital expenses. We achieve rapid results through certified Global Process Standards. The result is a real-time infrastructure and reduced IT costs and business risks, greater service agility, and improved service quality.
We now find that IT is still useful in this automation
In conclusion, IT is a very vital faculty that has a significant importance on our lives and how we lead them. Thus more and more people are getting to be elites and use IT gadgets to their advantage.
