Document Summary
Organizations and individuals must keep up with rapid technology changes or risk becoming obsolete. The rate of technology change is greater today than ever before and it will be more important to keep up with those changes. Information technology, as a part of any is, impacts all business disciplines (accounting, marketing, etc. In today"s work environment it is impossible to do knowledge work without technology. Moore"s law: that computing power (measure by maximum number of transistors in an integrated circuit) roughly doubles every 18 months. This law was based on the work of carver mead, but moore connected the notion of changes in the pace of technology with consumer access to lower cost and higher performance computing over time. Moore"s law started as an observation of one component of technology (semi conductors) but became the standard in the huge global industry as technology boomed.
