UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY:

Our lives are awash in information. From the moment, we arise each morning we are

surrounded by seemingly endless array of sources that produce, store and dispense

information.

Television= news broadcasts

Telephones= connect us to any point in anywhere on the globe.

computers= pay bills, send and receive messages, purchase g&s.

Home appliances= keep on track of things/ programmed to exchange info.

Satellites= gather data about the weather, population, concentrations etc...

Our own identities are traced by electronic copies of school transcripts, credit

histories, medical records, employment files and so on. Should these files be lost, we

would have a hard time proving who we are.

The stock market itself will more likely rise and fall due to reports, indicators,

rumours, and predictions than traditional measures like company profits, capital

investments and debt.

We are living in the information age. Our lives, work and world are all about

information. The key is learning how information can be captured, preserved,

processed and exchanged in the digital domain. The digital domain has limitations

and liabilities.
