InfoTech Becomes Commonplace
InfoTech: InfoTech is the fusion of computer technology and communication technology. InfoTech is the merging of computers with high-speed communications links carrying data, sound, and video.
IT: is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information
With huge information available all the time everywhere: what will this do to us as human beings? Information overload: Less use of our brains for memorizing: Multitasking activity: Smart mobile devices could produce “smart mobs”:
Emerge when communication and computing technologies amplify Human talents for cooperation
Cell phones, E-Mail, the Internet, & the E-World

Communication Technology
Consists of electromagnetic devices and systems for communicating over long distances.
What is the meaning of the following term? “go online” ? “pervasive computing” ?

Pervasive computing
The world has moved on beyond boxy computers that sit on desks.
Today handheld computers and cell phones let us access information anytime anywhere
Not just the general information but personal information --- electronic correspondence, documents, appointments, photos, songs, money matters, and other data important to us.
Anytime anywhere accessing the information

Three Directions of Communications Development
Connectivity - the ability to connect computers to one another by communications line, so as to provide online information access.
Interactivity - two-way communication in which a user can respond to information he or she receives and modify the process.
Multimedia - technology that presents information in more than one medium--such as text, pictures, video, sound, and animation--in a single integrated communication.
