3. INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY IS A CONTEMPORARY TERM THAT
DESCRIBES THE COMBINATION OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
(HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE) WITH TELECOMMUNICATIONS
TECHNOLOGY (DATA, IMAGE, AND VOICE NETWORKS).
3

4. In some companies, this is referred to as Management
Information Services (or MIS) or simply as Information
Services (or IS).
These innovations enable the processing and storage of
enormous amounts of information, along with rapid
distribution of information through communication
networks
• IT has enabled the globalisation of the economy and
competition, and caused large-scale changes in many
industries
• IT is also bringing a major shift in the job market; resulting
in a more polarised occupational structure, consisting of
highly skilled=well paid jobs
lower skilled=low wages

5. Communication: Basic need for most human activities
Tarditional- telephone, fax, mail...
In the new information era- e-mail, internet, video
conferencing
The new communication technology enables people
located in different places to work together as if they
were in the same office. Big multinational companies are
already exploiting this technology to achieve better use
of the resources of their seperate offices. In this way
projects can be shared between offices with the
application of the best expertise, and around the clock

7. COMPUTER USE
The purpose of a computer is to process data into information
• Data consist of the raw facts and figures that are
processed into information
• Information is data that has been summarized or
otherwise manipulated for use in desicion making
Hardware and Software
• Hardware consist of all the machinery and equipment in a
computer system
• Software , or programs , consist of all the electronic
instructions that tell the computer how to perform a task
7

8. HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REVOLUTION
• The diminishing cost of personal computers has put
computing power within the reach of even the smallest
contractors.
• Rapidly developing hardware performance, coupled with the
development of storage drives with very large volumes,
modems, scanners, and back up devices has made the
computer suitable for storage and distribution of drawings
and other data in electronic format.
• The evolution of servers, network cards, modems and routers
have linked computers together providing a forum for
community collaboration.

9. INTERNET
The value of the Internet to construction companies
derives from its ability to easily connect globally to a vast
amount of data, which would otherwise have taken more
time and money to organise. By exploiting the resources of
the Internet construction companies can gain the
following benefits.
• Acceleration in the distribution of knowledge resources
within and out with the company
• Promotion and marketing for the company
9

10. On-line services: The rapid development of the Internet and
the World Wide Web has enabled many services that
traditionally required face to face meetings to be delivered
on-line.
Internet distance learning: opportunities of university
education, widening access to higher education (delivering
teaching and learning to people who cannot attend
lectures)-increases a country’s competitiveness in a global
market.
E-business: Internet provides a virtual market place for
buyers, suppliers, distributors and sellers to exchange
information, negotiate and trade
Teleworking: Flexibility in working conditions, less office
space, more productive workers.

12. HISTORY AND DEVELOPMENT OF INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
In the 1960s and 1970s, the term information technology (IT)
was a little known phrase that was used by those who worked in
places like banks and hospitals to store information. With the
paradigm shift to computing technology and "paperless"
workplaces, information technology has come to be a household
phrase. It defines an industry that uses computers, networking,
software programming, and other equipment and processes to
store, process, transmit, and protect information.
12

13. Software development and computer
programming were best left to the computer
scientists and mathematical engineers, due to their
complicated nature. As time passed and technology
advanced, such as with the advent of the personal
computer in the 1980s and its everyday use in the
home and the workplace, the world moved into the
information age.
13

14. MODERN TECHNOLOGY
By the early 21st century, nearly every child in the Western
world, and many in other parts of the world, knew how to use a
personal computer. Businesses' information technology
departments have gone from using storage tapes created by a
single computer operator to interconnected networks of
employee workstations that store information in a server farm,
often somewhere away from the main business site.
14

15. TECHNOLOGY FACILITATE OUR LIFE
Technology and information may be regarded as two
things are mutually binding. Both support functions that are
fairly similar. Advances in technology are always facilitate
the delivery of information. The rate information from one
country can spread rapidly to other countries, even to all
countries, through increasingly sophisticated technology.
Advances in information technology provide enormous
benefit in human survival. Information technology can
provide facilities in various aspects of life. One area of ​​life
that has a close relationship with the use of information
technology is the world of work. 15

16. IMPACT OF ADVANCED INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY
Advances in information technology is to be
grateful and appreciated as a remarkable
achievement. Therefore, we must take advantage
of advances in information technology is to do
positive things.
Why is that?
In fact, advances in information technology not
only provides a positive effect. Many also brought
along the negative impact of information
technology advances.
16

17. Here's a positive impact of information
technology development.
• Make it easier for companies or individual
business transaction-based information
technology or so-called E-Commerce.
• Simplify access to information needed for
various purposes.
17

18. Besides positive impacts, advances in information
technology have a negative effect.
• The rapid advancement in information technology,
internet and other media, facilitate the entry of banned
sites and violence.
• Ease of transactions via the Internet will provide
opportunities to perform transacts forbidden, such as
drug and contraband transactions.
As a result, anything that is required is completed in
quick time to be done by utilizing flash technology as well.
Finally, human life can not be separated from the flow of
information technology.

19. THE ROLE OF IT
• It is accepted that telecommunication 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 IT role
19

20. BENEFITS FROM IT
Information and communications technology
carries on high promise both in human and
economic terms.
Benefits could be obtained in:
• Education
• Job training
• Health care
• Food security
• Environment management
• Government efficiency
20

21. IT IS USEFUL IN ALL AREAS
MANY TOURISM BUSINESSES ARE INVOLVED IN
DEVELOPING THEIR INTERNET SERVICES INCLUDING
TRADITIONAL TRAVEL AGENTS , TOUR OPERATORS ,
NATIONAL TOURIST OFFICES, AIRLINES , HOTELS AND
OTHER ACCOMMODATION PROVIDERS AND CAR HIRE
FIRMS.
