WE are not a programmer or web developer so this information is difficult for us to grasp, we are just a group of university student that try to sharing with you guys about what we had learn about Technology & Information Systems in our classes.
For first step, let we share about five components of a computer-based information system.
There are :
1. People
2. Data
3. Procedures
4. Hardware
5. Software
So what can we describe about Information Technology, the Internet and You?
The computer based information system is developed by the people and for the people. Computer users are people who will use the computer system. The developers are the people who will develop the system on basis of requirement in the market. Data is a collection of raw facts and figures that is available. There are several ways the organize data e.g. DataBase Management System, File Management System and etc. A computer based information system is used to process data into information that be useable for the user. Procedures are the actions and instruction that are used by the people to process the data into information. Operating procedures are used to operate the computer, data entry, communication, maintenance, back up and error recovery. Emergency procedures are used to trouble shoot the system if there is any problem detected.
There are different types of Hardware used for Computer Based Information System including:
Input hardware (Keyboard, mouse, etc.), Processing hardware (Processor, Memory, etc), Output hardware (Monitor, printer, etc) and Storage device (Disk Drive, etc).
Next we want to share information about what is internet. What is INTERNET all about?
The term the Internet when referring to the entire global system of IP networks has been treated as a proper noun and written with an initial capital letter. In the media and popular culture a trend has also developed to regard it as a generic term or common noun and thus write it as "the internet" without capitalization. Some guides specify that the word should be capitalized as a noun but not capitalized as an adjective.
The terms Internet (The Internet explained's video) and World Wide Web (World Wide Web's video) are often used in everyday speech without much distinction. However, the Internet and the World Wide Web are not one and the same. The Internet is a global data communications system. It is a hardware and software infrastructure that provides connectivity between computers. In contrast, the Web is one of the services communicated via the Internet. It is a collection of interconnected documents and other resources, linked by hyperlinks and URLs.
In many technical illustrations when the precise location or interrelation of Internet resources is not important, extended networks such as the Internet are often depicted as a cloud. The verbal image has been formalized in the newer concept of cloud computing.
There is a big influence of technique on our daily life. Electronic devices, multimedia and computers are things we have to deal with everyday. Especially the Internet is becoming more and more important for nearly everybody as it is one of the newest and most forward-looking media and surely "the" medium of the future.
Therefore we thought that it would be necessary to think about some good and bad aspects of how this medium influences us, what impacts it has on our social behaviour and what the future will look like.
The Internet changed our life enormously, there is no doubt about that. There are many advantages of the Internet that show you the importance of this new medium. What we want to say is that Internet changed our life in a positive way.
First we have to make a differentiation concerning the usage. You can use the Internet at home for personal or you at work for professional usage. Let's come to the first to spend a part of our day on the Internet is for many people quite normal. They use this kind of medium to get information about all kinds topics. Maybe some of them are interested in chatting probably they are members of a community. Whatever you are looking for you will find it. Even if you want to have very specific information, you will find it in a short time.
Normally, you often have to send a letter, than you have to wait for the reception of the reply, or you have to make some telephone calls and so on. In any case, the traditional way is the longer one. To put your own information on the Internet is also possible. Create your own homepage, tell other users about your interests, what you want, that's no problem at all.
Due to the birth of computer technology, we now have credit cards or what others call plastic money, which are very useful especially when you have no cash on hand or when ordered a product over the Internet. It's amazing how computer technology has changed both the way we live. Today, buying products such as mobile phones, bags, household utensils and clothing or even paying bills can be made effortlessly in the comfort of your own home.
With the computer use a lot of students, especially those with disabilities or serious illnesses can register unfortunate to different schools through home schooling. Students are still able to take their examination paper or check out their qualifications for use of the computer.
From our knowledge of computer technology has helped many businesses to better serve the community. But computers have not only helped us in the business industry but also has an effect on our communication systems. Long before the birth of computers, writing letters were the main source of communication which would be a nuisance particularly to those who live in distant places plus the phones are pretty expensive for most people prefer to write to their loved ones. And for that reason, people who are far from civilization really have difficulty communicating with others. Now we have email and live chat or even voice messages. Today we have video calls which would be able to see the person you're talking about. This would be great for people who have loved ones who are away from home. Contact with each other is now a piece of cake.
Computer technology has changed our lives for the better. Without it, we will still be living in pre-historic times.These days, the information technology industry is rapidly growing and changing. Along with the growth and change in information technology are the people who almost instantly adapt to change.
