...1 Relationship Between Changes in IT and Business Functions Relationship Between Changes 2 Relationship Between Changes in IT and Business Functions The age of electronics and more particularly, computers, has caused a tremendous shift in the way we do business today. Fifteen years ago, innovations like the Facsimile (FAX) machine, and the Personal Computer (PC) were high-tech and considered cutting edge. Many people in business today wouldn't be able to function properly without these tools. Additionally, communications as we know it would almost cease to exist without teleconferencing, E-mail, and fax-on-demand. We have gotten so used to the relying on the presence of computers and the services they provide that many of us do not remember what it was like before. It goes without saying that the evolution of many of today's technologies have had quite an impact on how we do business. Because computers can perform repetitive tasks so well, their evolution has eliminated many jobs that were once performed by people. Although many of these jobs have been reduced or eliminated, computers also created a whole new set of jobs focused on computer manufacturing, programming and support. The challenge for business owners is that these new jobs require highly skilled, adaptable, innovative workers who are constantly upgrading and learning new skills. Thus, those resistant to change or unable to learn the required...

...Networking and Interaction This project is concerned with computer mediated communication (CMC) between individuals via the social networking platform, Facebook. Created by Mark Zuckerberg in 2004, Facebook is a social networking forum wherein individuals can share photographs, personal information, conversations and friends (Buckman, 2005). Although other online sites such as MySpace, Friendster and Bebo are also designed to carry out such functions, Facebook is generally considered to be the leading site of its kind, currently consisting of over a billion users worldwide (Facebook, 2013). Facebook has increasingly become deeply integrated into user’s daily routines (Debatin, 2009). Indeed, a recent study found that students spend an average of 38 minutes a day ‘Face-booking’ (Muise et al, 2009). This equates to almost 9 days every year being dedicated to communication activities via the medium. With the internet increasingly being accessed via mobile devices, anytime, anyplace, it is likely that this figure will increase over time. With these ideas in mind, it is interesting to consider sites such as Facebook as capable of revealing important information about how young adults interact with one another in the information age. Platform functions such as wall posts, comments, statuses, private messages and so on provide a vast space for a number of different text based interactions to take place. To be sure, some believe computer mediums such as social networking...

...Creating A Writing Technology In reading Tribble and Trubeks’ “Writing Materials” I learned that writing is a product of historical circumstances and cultural values as well as of individual invention.(2). The reading selections enabled me to realize just how much I and many others take modern technology for granted. In the book writing itself is defined as technology, which threw me off very early in this assignment. I’d previously only thought of technology as something that uses electricity or some type of battery. I do understand that writing has been in many ways perfected by technologies such as the typewriter and computer but writing itself as a technology still seems to be a bit beyond me. My lack of understanding did make this project a little difficult yet interesting but what was more difficult was the project itself. Trying to compose an idea for an invention was a very trying task, but after lots of thought and checklists, I was able to produce an idea that I thought feasible. I found it very easy to think of many different ideas at once and then go through them one by one checking off the things that were wrong or unnatural about them. One of the first ideas I explored was writing in mud. It was natural, I didn’t need many materials and it seemed easy enough. But I came to the conclusion that the text would be difficult to see, as well as understand and the mud would probably crumble into pieces. Another idea I explored was writing in the sand. There were...

...Personal Narrative Prompt: A Time You Were Stressed/Anxious During sophomore year my Chemistry class was told that our second semester final was to make a lab video. It sounded very fun, I had a friend I wanted to work with, and I was good at figuring out computer programs for the most part. We learned of our task at the beginning of the school year, but we didn’t have to start working until March. I always try to think of projects as interesting challenges even if I know I will be stressed out halfway through. In the end it doesn’t matter if I tried to think positive- it either turns out okay or it doesn’t. Working with my best friend was interesting, especially because she was more scientifically inclined than I was. I could figure out...

...DARUL MUTAKIN 0825435 “ONE” SHORT FILM CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1.0 PREAMBLE The project is to produce the first motion graphic short film telling about the Muslims in the future. For information, most of the motion graphic film that is shown in the television, cinemas as well as the new media “Internet” is based on the Western way of life and perspective. The film is produced with the combination of real world videography and CGI (Computer-generated Imagery) technique that will enhance the storyline development. The story is about the revival of Muslims in the future whereby a group of Muslims will be united facing the cruelty of the Zionist. The concept of story that is trying to be highlighted almost similar idea with the film, “Valley of the Wolves : Palestine”, where the Muslims taking down the Zionist. But the different is that, it will take place in different environment, different looks and technology used. 1.1 PROBLEM DESCRIPTION 1.1.1 Background of the problem Based on our research and observation, there is a need in producing a film that can give a great impact on how we live our life and think.

Luthermie B. Manago CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A cart is a small vehicle that feeds in gas to be operational. It is operated manually and can carry a maximum of two persons. It runs at a low speed and is ideal for strolling or for use when not in a hurry. Knowing these basic informations, the researchers have came up with the idea of using the cart as a basis for a design project. We wanted to upgrade the usual cart, and make it more advance, more interesting, and apply what we have learned in our field of study. As computer engineering students, we have decided that we will be using and implementing interfacing and android programming in this project. Disabled persons are those whom have incapabilities physically (either arms or legs). A number of people has this condition, and even such, is still visible in our locality rather than to stay at home. We understand their difficulties in means of transportation and safety, which lead to the creation of the Automated Cart (Controlled via Android Phone).

...Learning Task 1 Computer shops are pervasive around the schools, but these are mainly used for playing games. Without judging on the possibly dehumanizing effects of excessive game habit, how can a learner best use computer resources as they may be available in schools or at home? A learner cab best use computer resources by making these resources as their reference in their projects and assignments, it can serve also as a tutor to them, widen their knowledge about the things a learner wants to know. The learner can also be productive in using his imagination- develop his creativity, develop sportsmanship in playing games, being competent and idealistic in his own way with the use of computer technology. The learner can also exercise his willpower in playing games. Making his own decision and facing its consequence. Learning Task 2 Do you think there is enough website for educational websites? From those who have done internet surfing/searching/reading what do the websites offer users? There are more than enough websites for educational learning. As days passed, and will pass, more educational websites are created. More students are indulging in internet surfing, searching and reading. These websites offer everything we need in just one click in the internet. The computer and networks are really helpful. The only danger is that man can be used to and addicted to it, be dependent on the computer’s genius work and man will be manipulated by internet if man do not how...

...The World of Mass Media From Its Beginning To Its Predicted State In 2020 The History of Mass Media The birth of the mass media begins with print media, which includes books, magazines and newspapers. Books are considered the oldest form of media as it exists since the invention of writing systems and they were copied by hand till middle 15th century. Books were used mostly to store religious and sacred writings, so they were hardly considered as a mass medium. As time passed, the techniques of printing were developed. Many sources claimed that the world's earliest dated printed book was known as "Diamond Sutra". It was printed in China in 868 A.D. using woodblock printing technique. However, it has been said that many books were published way before this time. Around 1040 A.D., the world's first known movable type system for printing was invented in China. China made little use of their invention because literacy was not widespread, so there was little demand for mass printing of books. But the printing technology was spread rapidly across Europe. In 1400 A.D., a German goldsmith, Johannes Gutenberg had invented printing press machine with movable type which allowed books to be reproduced in masses. The first book printed with this technique is The Bible. With the printing press technology, books can be printed quickly and with less effort, hence the cost of bookmaking reduced and this made books available for a much bigger audience. The invention of printing technology...

...Running head: REFLECTION: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 1 Reflection on what I learned from the Information Technology Course and Project Jonathan Balarama Keita Thongsook College BA TESOL REFLECTION: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Reflection on what I learned from the Information Technology Course and Project To begin with a definition, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary, Information Technology is ‘the technology involving the development, maintenance, and use of computer systems, software, and networks for the processing and distribution of data’. Information Technology is a vast subject and it is quite interesting. The course The ICT course was not really difficult, as I had a very good knowledge about the different types of technologies that were presented, but the idea of adapting them to my classroom got me thinking. Although, I have used technology in my classroom before, now I 2 have new ideas and skills to do a better job. In class I was given many different materials such as the different ways to use mobile phones, tablets or computers in the classroom. A brave new world talks about how the new generation have different ways of doing things and most importantly learning, which makes a lot of sense to me because I am not very old myself and I love to practically do or understand something, which I find helps to a greater extent in learning. More than half the world uses some sort of software based technology and the numbers are rising every day, so keeping technology...
