Technological innovation is essential for human development. From the printing press to the computer, people have devised tools for facilitating learning and communication. Technology is not inherently good or bad, the outcome depends on how it is used.

2. Technological innovation is essential for
human development.
From the printing press to the computer,
people have devised tools for facilitating
learning and communication.
Technology is not inherently good or bad,
the outcome depends on how it is used.

3.  As a student at Comsats , I witnessed the
birth of this revolution and observed at
close distance its progression and impact
 My Presentation is a brief account of my
perceptions of the birth and evolution of
information technology and its impact
society

5. Dimension of MIQ
 handwriting recognition
 speech recognition
 natural language understanding
 summarization
 image understanding and pattern recognition
 diagnostics
 unstructured storage and retrieval of information
 execution of high level instructions
 learning
 planning
 problem solving

6.  It is accepted that technology is a basic
infrastructure necessary for economic and social
development of a country.
 This is even becoming more strong than ever as
information related economic activities are
growing.
 Information and communications technology
may be described as the support of the central
nervous system of complex societies,
transmitting and processing information and
commands among the various parts of such
societies.
 Internet plays a fundamental function in ICT role

7. Information and communications technology carries on high
promise both in human and economic terms on society.
Benefits could be obtained in:
▪ Education
▪ Job training
▪ Health care
▪ Food security
▪ Environment management
▪ Government efficiency
And specifically in Science and Technology:
▪ Speed up dissemination of scientific results world-wide
through scientific knowledge sharing and exchange
▪ Allows to set up of Virtual Labs for communications and
remote instrument control

8.  Predictions indicate the doubling of
computing power every 18 –24 months and
the doubling of communications power
every 6 months. Both are accompanied by
huge reductions in costs and massive
increases in speed and quantity.

9.  IT/IST is rapidly emerging as a dominant
component of science and technology
 IT/IST has a major bearing on economy and
economic competiveness
 IT/IST has a pronounced impact on culture
and social structure
and yet
 some of the facets of IT/IST impact are a
cause of concern

10.  Employment
 The crisis of under coordination

11.  IT Responsible for Most Productivity Gains
(Computing Research News, September 2003)
 productivity up  employment down
 3 million jobs lost in the United States since 2001
2.2 million jobs lost in manufacturing
 20 million jobs in manufacturing in 1980
 14 million jobs in manufacturing in 2003
 Unemployment down
employment down

12.  Scientific progress, and especially progress in
information and communication technologies,
leads to higher degree of interaction and
interdependence
 The higher the degree of interaction and
interdependence, the greater the need for
coordination and control
 Highly interdependent systems are vulnerable
to catastrophic failures
examples: blackouts
air traffic control

14.  Technology having benefits and badness
both.
 Technology is growing but employment is
going down.
 Technology is having more impact in each
session of company.
 Technology can consider as the brain of
development.
