Development of Information Technology

Information Technology (IT) it's the computer technology that we can't resist nowadays. Start form Mobile Phone,Internet,Computer,etc. It's something that help us to share a information each other. The development of IT it's extremly fast growing.

Information technology (IT) is the application of computers and telecommunications equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data,^[1] often in the context of a business or other enterprise.^[2] The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several industries are associated with information technology, such as computer hardware, software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom equipment, e-commerce and computer services.

History of computers

Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years, probably initially in the form of a tally stick.^[8] The Antikythera mechanism, dating from about the beginning of the first century BC, is generally considered to be the earliest known mechanical analog computer; it is also the earliest known geared mechanism.^[9] Comparable geared devices did not emerge in Europe until the 16th century,^[10] and it was not until 1645 that the first mechanical calculator capable of performing the four basic arithmetical operations was developed.^[11]
Electronic computers, using either relays or valves, began to appear in the early 1940s. The electromechanical Zuse Z3, completed in 1941, was the world's first programmable computer, and by modern standards one of the first machines that could be considered a complete computing machine. Colossus, developed during the Second World War to decrypt German messages was the first electronic digital computer. Although it was programmable, it was not general-purpose, being designed to perform only a single task. It also lacked the ability to store its program in memory. Instead, programming was carried out using plugs and switches to alter the internal wiring.^[12] The first recognisably modern electronic digital stored-program computer was the Manchester Small-Scale Experimental Machine (SSEM), which ran its first program on 21 June 1948

History and Development of Information Technology

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. 

Here's a positive impact of information technology development :

• Facilitate the delivery of information or communication between one place to another place.

• Widespread use of information technology can open new job opportunities.

• Make it easier for companies or individual business transaction-based information technology or so-called E-Commerce.

• Simplify and expedite access to information needed for various purposes.

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 elements of pornography, porn-action, and violence.

• Ease of transactions via the Internet will provide opportunities to perform transakisi forbidden, such as drug and contraband transactions.

Improved Quality of Life
Humans increasingly demanded to improve the quality of life so that "forcing" them to perform various activities by optimizing capabilities. The claim is, inevitably, will make human use of information and communication technology in every activity.
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.

21ST CENTURY INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY REVOLUTION

Humanity has progressed from agricultural revolution to the industrial revolution and is now moving to an information revolution. It is this awesome computing power at continuously falling prices and the computers being networked over global telecom highways that is leading to the use of Information Technology in every sector of human activity be it communication, banking, trading, learning and teaching, entertainment, socializing, government, management and librarying. 

Talking about IT, Information technology (IT), as defined by the IATA, is, "The study, the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT deals with the use of electronic computer and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit and securely retrieve information.

When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "InfoTech". Information Technology (IT) is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information. 

Impacts of Technology

Technology, throughout history, has allowed people to complete more tasks in less time and with less energy. Many herald this as a way of making life easier. However, work has continued to be proportional to the amount of energy expended, rather than the quantitative amount of information or material processed. Technology has had profound effects on lifestyle throughout human history, and as the rate of progress increases, society must deal with both the good and bad implications.
In many ways, technology simplifies life:·         The rise of a leisure class
·         A more informed society can make quicker responses to events and trends
·         Sets the stage for more complex learning tasks
·         Increases multi-tasking (although this may not be simplifying)
·         Global networking
·         Creates denser social circles
·         Cheap price
In other ways, technology complicates life:

·         Pollution is a serious problem in a technologically advanced society.
·         The increase in transportation technology has brought congestion in some areas.
·         Techniques
·         New forms of danger existing as a consequence of new forms of technology, such as the first generation of nuclear reactors.
·         New forms of entertainment, such as video games and internet access could have possible social effects on areas such as academic performance.
·         Increases probability of diseases and disorders, such as obesity.
·         Social separation of singular human interaction. Technology has increased the need to talk to more people faster. 

Conclusion 

Concluding from the aspects stated above, the only line which comes to mind is "In one line of thought, technology develops autonomously, in other words, technology seems to feed on itself, moving forward with a force irresistible by humans. Information is knowledge and knowledge is power. Knowledge plus experience is wisdom and it is the wise use of information that gives advantage to those who have information."  

That's it , we know that IT it's very impact for our life.
Now , let's take a breath and relax, I have a video that show us how IT will be on the future
