TEXT 1A
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY
The definition of information technology (IT) is as follows: the use of technology to
provide the capture, storage, retrieval, analysis and communication of information, which
can be done either in the form of data, text, image or voice.
With the invention and exploitation of the integrated circuit or ‘chip’ since the 1960s,
the growth of applications using electronics has been phenomenal. Modern electronic
computers can process data, graphics and speech at extremely fast rates. The
microprocessor is at the heart of what is known as the IT revolution.
Information and communications technologies are changing the way we work, study,
do research, and educate our children and ourselves. They are influencing the way we do
our banking, pay our bills, entertain ourselves and do business. New options (choices) are
being provided for us in the field of health care, education, environmental protection,
culture, and business. Computers control washing machines, cookers, televisions,
telephones, home computers, cameras, video games, digital watches and many other
devices.
Offices and factories now use microprocessors in the everyday life, as do cars, fax
machines, aircraft fly control, railway signalling, police computer databases, etc.
The aim of the IT revolution has been to transform labour-intensive work, such as
mining, agriculture, iron, steel and cotton industries, hardware manufacturing, etc., into an
industry where a few highly-skilled workers manage large factories with mainly
automated labour.
The influence of the Multimedia is part of the IT revolution. The change from analogue
to digital television made it possible to develop special effects, such as the original full
screen television image which could be shrunk (уменьшить) to occupy a small portion of
the screen.
Compact discs can record complete encyclopedias, as well as provide sound and
pictures.
The impact of this information revolution on our society cannot yet be fully measured or
predicted at this time. The combination of new and rapidly developing interactive
multimedia computers and applications with electronic networks will require a
restructuring of our traditional approach to strategic planning and organisational structure.
It also means a considerable (great) change in the way we interact with each other, with
business and with government.
