What happening in information technology now?

Answer 1

AnswerEvery day there are new developments. New products are launched and new product ideas and applications of information technology evolve. Recently after dual core processors, now quad core processors for PCs are being launched. The latest invention in information technology must be cloud computing. Technology is changing by the day which may make it difficult to keep up with it.

Answer 2

The new generation of aircraft that is currently being developed makes greater use of computer technology than current aircraft. These new aircraft will require pilots to place more emphasis on the "systems management" aspect of their jobs and less emphasis on their manual flying skills. They may also require fewer pilots in the cockpit.

Think about it... We have twitter, facebook, myspace, and soooo many other ways to connect right? Think about that and now think about the search engines we use to find out things Google, Yahoo, bing etc. Combine all of those resources in say "your cell phone" and what do you have? The ability to find out virtually any and everything you so desire with the assistance of your 4 inch compact device. We can ask the web or someone from our social networking sites anything and chances are someone will know whatsoever you ask. Info tech is morphing into something that i like to call "Your makeup" These things that we wish to know or already know will one day be "embedded" with who we are. These are the dinosaur years for that kind of "total control integration" Were getting close though.

Answer 4

Technology is a term referring to whatever can be said at any particular historical period, concerning the state of the art in the whole general field of practical know-how and tool use. It therefore encompasses all that can be said about arts, crafts, professions, applied sciences, and skills. By extension it can also refer to any systems or methods of organization which enable such technologies, any field of study which concerns them, or any products which result. The etymology of the word technologystill reflects the modern meaning, coming from the Greek technología (τεχνολογία) - téchnē(τέχνη), an 'art', 'skill' or 'craft' and -logía(-λογία), the study of something, or the branch of knowledge of a discipline.[1] The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas: examples include "construction technology", "medical technology", or "state-of-the-art technology".

Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The human species' use of technology began with the conversion of Natural Resources into simple tools. The prehistorical discovery of the ability to control fire increased the available sources of food and the invention of the wheel helped humans in travelling in and controlling their environment. Recent technological developments, including the printing press, the telephone, and the internet, have lessened physical barriers to communication and allowed humans to interact freely on a global scale. However, not all technology has been used for peaceful purposes; the development of weapons of ever-increasing destructive power has progressed throughout history, from clubs to nuclear weapons.

Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies (including today's global economy) and has allowed the rise of a leisure class. Many technological processes produce unwanted by-products, known as pollution, and deplete natural resources, to the detriment of the Earth and its environment. Various implementations of technology influence the values of a society and new technology often raises new ethical questions. Examples include the rise of the notion of efficiency in terms of human productivity, a term originally applied only to machines, and the challenge of traditional norms.

Philosophical debates have arisen over the present and future use of technology in society, with disagreements over whether technology improves the human condition or worsens it. Neo-Luddism, anarcho-primitivism, and similar movements criticise the pervasiveness of technology in the modern world, opining that it harms the environment and alienates people; proponents of ideologies such as transhumanism and techno-progressivism view continued technological progress as beneficial to society and the human condition. Indeed, until recently, it was believed that the development of technology was restricted only to human beings, but recent scientific studies indicate that other primates and certain dolphin communities have developed simple tools and learned to pass their knowledge to other generations.
