3. Information Techologies
◦ According to John Daintith, “IT is the application of
computers and telecommunications equipment to
store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data, often
in the context of a business or other enterprise1”
◦ That’s far too formal. In our daily life, what does
really IT mean?
Hardware and software that makes everyday life easier.
It’s everywhere, even if you haven’t even noticed!
Smartphones, computers, videogame consoles… And
every day more and more devices.

4. With new technologies being developed every
day, Information Technologies are becoming
very important
New devices are being added to our daily life
based on those technologies: smartphones,
for example
Nowadays, technology is following the
internet of things path.
5. Internet changed the world, and so will IT and
internet of things.
All the information in Internet has been
introduced by human beings.
But… what if devices could do it completely
by themselves?
6. There are a lot of applications that could use
Information Technologies:
◦ Smarth product management
◦ Emergency response
◦ Continuous care
◦ Intelligent shopping
◦ Urban environment
◦ eLearning
◦ Home automation (domotics)
◦ And so on!
7. Home automation is very interesting, because
of its use in our daily life.
Can you imagine your house becoming
intelligent?
◦ Automatic temperature regulation
◦ Smart window opening/closing
◦ Lights turning on and off automatically
◦ More security
9. Everything is related with IT and innovation:
◦ Wireless sensors
◦ Database
◦ Protocol developing (to communicate different
entities)
◦ Athentication mechanisms
◦ We could even program a web interface to manage
everything, or a mobile application (using EAP-SIM
to authenticate!)
◦ Control your house with your Huawei phone!
10. Information technologies are basic to
develope a better, easier future.
Innoving companies like Huawei are also
basic to develop this technology, thanks to its
advances in portable devices designing.
