Information technology has evolved greatly over time from the pre-mechanical era to today's internet age. While IT provides many benefits like spreading awareness, convenience, networking, and access to information, it also poses some threats. These include social isolation, lack of social skills, obesity, depression, and poor sleep habits resulting from excessive technology use and lack of real-world interaction. Both the blessings and dangers of IT must be recognized to ensure technology improves lives rather than harms them.
Information Technologies are systems of hardware and/or software that capture, process, exchange, store and/or present information using electrical, magnetic and/or electromagnetic energy.

The Role of a computer to development of Information and Technology.pptxNusrat Jahan
The computer serves a number of roles across the entire spectrum of Information Technology. That’s why many people tend to think of “Information Technology” as being interchangeable with “Computer Science”. IT is actually about the systems for managing and distributing information and the computer is just one tool (albeit, a very versatile one) in that toolbox.
So, at the front end, computers can be used to collect data. That data can come from sensors, user input or can even be created internally based on calculation or correlations of other data. Data that’s collected is initially stored in computer memory. In the case of specialized data collection devices, there may be a dedicated computer contained in the sensor package, and multiple tiers of computers that consolidate and route the data to a centralized general purpose computer)
That data can then be transferred to longer term storage which is also managed and controlled by computer. This normally takes the form of disk arrays made up of physical hard drives or SSDs.
The data can be analyzed, processed, correlated, transformed and presented as information. Computers and specialized software perform that function and create the visualizations, reports and a UI (user interface) to that data that presents the information in context.
Computers can then be used to tag and index that information based on a common taxonomy so that it can be found by other computers, software or human users.
Additional data can be collected from the users on how the data/information is being consumed and that can feed back into the earlier stages of the process to refine the results and provide more relevant/meaningful information to the users (or other systems)
Of course, along the way, the data is often transmitted and routed over networks (controlled by computers), distributed via email, web and file sharing (served by computers), formatted/published/printed (on computers and by devices containing dedicated computers)

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
6. Information Technology
Information technology
(IT) is the use of any
computers,
storage, networking and
other physical devices,
infrastructure and
processes
to create, process, store,
secure and exchange all
forms of electronic data.
7. The term information
technology in
its modern sense
first appeared in a 1958
article
published in the
Harvard Business Review;
authors Harold J. Leavitt and
Thomas L.
10. • widely used term in business and the field of computing. –
• refers various kinds of computer-related works. –
• consists of three basic parts:
i) computational data processing
ii)decision support
iii) business software.
11. Today, IT departments
have responsibility in
areas like:
i) computer tech
support
ii) business computer
network and database
administration
iii) business software

15. SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY is
the use of
knowledge to
turn resources
into the goods
and services
that society
needs.
SCIENCE is
the study of
WHY natural
things
happen the
way they do.
24. How IT has been
developed throughout the
history
25. Information technology has been around for a long, long time. Basically as long as
people have been around! Humans have always been quick to
adapt technologies for better and faster communication.
-Edward teller
26. Pre-Mechanical
The earliest age of technology. It can be defined as the time between 3000 B.C. and
1450 A.D. When humans first started communicating. continued with the advent of
formal language and better media such as rags, papyrus, and eventually paper.
27. Mechanical
The mechanical age is when we first start to see connections between our current
technology and its ancestors. The mechanical age can be defined as the time between
1450 and 1840.
28. Electro-Mechanical
The electromechanical age heralded the
beginnings of telecommunications as we
know it today. This age can be defined
roughly as the time between 1840 and
1940.
Several revolutionary technologies were
invented in this period such as the Morse
code, telephone, radio, etc.
29. Electronic
These machines used electronic switches, in the form of vacuum tubes, instead of the electromechanical
relays seen in the previous era. In principle the electronic switches would be more reliable, since they
would have no moving parts that would wear out, but the technology was still new at that time and the
tubes were comparable to relays in reliability. The major benefit of electronic switches was that they could
‘open’ and ‘close’ thousands of times faster than relays
30. Information Age and the Internet
The information age, made possible by the advent of electronic computers, is
characterized by the shift from traditional industry to an economy based on
information digitization.
32. People can spread awareness
about things going on in the world
through the internet. Anyone can
share their story with the world
inspiring others and seeking help
for their cause.
Spread awareness :
33. Convenience :
there is no doubt that
technology has made our life
more convenient. Now we
can find information
regarding everything from
the comfort of our sofa.
34. Information
at our fingertips:
one of the reasons
technology is a blessing is
the fact that we literally
have information at our
fingertips. whenever we
need to know the answer to
a question or find a recipe ,
all we have to do is type
into the search engine and
Voila!!
35. Networking:
One of the most important
advantage of information
technology is that it helps
us to create network with
people. Regarding
business or any other issue
we can communicate with
people from all over the
world through technology
38. Social isolation:
Social isolation is characterized by a lack of contact with
other people in normal daily living, such as, the
with friends and in social activities. We isolate ourselves
walking around in our own little world, listening to our
iPods or staring at the screen of the latest mobile device
even when we are around other people. Studies have
shown that people who are socially isolated will live
lives.
39. Lack of Social Skills:
The use of online
social media outlets
causes us to meet
face-to-face with
much less frequency
resulting in a lack of
much needed social
skills. We lose the
ability to read body
language and social
cues in other
40. Obesity:
The more time people
are spending engrossed
in video games, talking
to friends online and
watching funny cat
videos on YouTube, they
are spending less time
being active or
exercising. Also the
likelihood of mindlessly
eating unhealthy food
increases as people are
hypnotized by the latest
episode of Honey Boo
Boo.
41. Depression:
Technology creates the perfect
recipe for depression with the
of human contact, overeating and
lack of exercise. There is a reason
the use of antidepressants are on
the rise and the blame can’t be
completely dumped on the
pharmaceutical companies. They
aren’t carting people into the
doctor’s office and force feeding
them the pills. This isn’t to say
depression isn’t a real problem,
but some people could cure their
depression by living a healthier
lifestyle.
42. Poor Sleep Habits:
Some of the negative effects of
technology can be linked to the
it has on sleep habits. We get sucked
into online activities that keep us up
too late and the constant stream of
information can make it difficult to
turn off our brains. Also, the ambient
glow from screens can affect the
release of melatonin, the sleep
chemical. Keeping technology out of
the bedroom would be a very
habit to acquire.
