...rules and regulations of the government. In modern societies which embrace democracy as management system, the influence of public determination is predominant. As it is mentioned above sharing and declaring public decision is the milestone of governance in such societies. Therefore, the more advanced ways people have to communicate, the more they can contribute to the improvement of democracy. If it is compared with the past, people have faster, cheaper and much more effective communication tools in order to exchange and spread their ideas. The Internet and new communication technologies enhance democracy by making any kind of information accessible and by providing people with rapid and cheap communication. The Internet enables the improvement of democracy because it gives people the opportunity to be aware of current issues. It offers a wide range of information to everyone regardless of their status. People who are interested in a topic can access plenty of data about what they are looking for. It is not anymore the case that people have to delve into books in libraries in order to find a useful resource which contains relevant information. People already have a well-organized library which searches and introduces them to the most appropriate information on their subjects – The Internet. In addition to individuals, many non-governmental organizations and any other social groups that share common ideas can publish their arguments and spread them across the world. For example, human...

...customers’ information such as names, address, dates, phone numbers, and weights. Kenneth Laudon and Jane Laudon claim “it all starts with the scannable-bar coded label which is attached to a package, which contains detailed information about the sender, the destination of the package, the recipient, and when the package should arrive. Customers can download and print their own labels using special software provided by UPS or by accessing the UPS website” (Laudon & Laudon, 2011). This case study also shows that before the package is picked up, the data from the scannable bar coded label is transmitted to one of UPS’s computer centers in Mahwah, New Jersey, or Alpharetta, Georgia and sent to the distribution center nearest its final destination. This information is processed using special software to create the outputs such as efficient delivery route for each driver that considers traffic, weather condition, and the location of each stop. The UPS has spent a great deal of money investing heavily in advanced information technology. According to the UPS website “UPS has implemented several tools and procedures, called Package Flow Technologies, to optimize delivery routes. PFT includes a suite of hardware and software designed, in part, to help drivers plan the most effective route - before a package is even loaded into a delivery vehicle” (UPS Pressroom, 2009). UPS has also revolutionized its delivery system when it established and installed the leading Delivery Information Acquisition...

Niels Ole Fiennemann in the year 2001 came up with Media’s general history. He said that no Society could exist where exchange and production of information is of little significance. Therefore one cannot compare information societies and industrial societies in any steady way. Information societies could be industrial societies and industrial societies could as well mean information societies. The following is a media matrix he suggested. literature cultures: writing(number systems and primary alphabets),secondly print cultures: print + speech + written texts, Second order alphabetical cultures: written texts + speech + analogue electrical media + digital media and speech based oral cultures .This paper seeks to visit the origin of the Information Technology and the developments it has undergone to become what it is today. In history of development of information technology, the paper looks into challenges that were encountered during the advancement stages. Discussion In today’s era, the crucial influence with regard to the concept of information is borrowed from information theory that was developed by Shannon alongside others. In...

There had been some existed channels of making meaningful transfer of information in form, facets and useful ideas through diverse kinds of tangible and intangible media. Since most of these early channels of communication were predominantly physical, they came with lots of problems and difficulties. Imagine in the olden days when teaching learning and communication were carried out through crude means. This research work would extensively examine the role of information and communication technology (ICT), up to the present age that can be called modern ICT age. 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The word is growing digital every second in time with the evolution of new ideas radically transforming every facet of human endeavors and lives generally. There is a great potential for significant improvement our lives as a result of the new technological advancement will depend entirely on the spread with which we adapt to it.

When human beings are supposed to be free by nature, the truth is that we possess an obvious tendency to live under certain regimes that mark us and define us throughout our lives. We are creating in our own environment some features that enslave us but we are curiously interested to maintain. The essay is to support the idea that men,from birth, is victim of a consecutive series of technological regimes that has as a result an impact on society. It is a fact that technology has contributed tremendously to the development of society until this days. From the creation of devices, to detect several illness and other medical conditions, to products that will simplify our life at work and home. Two important questions to ask ourselves are: how are we being shaped by technology in society? And, how we are influencing technology? When analyzing the impacts on both sides we find many factors that influence are being influenced by its progress. Some of them are science, communication, information, education, medicine, in to others. When analyzing technological impact, a major contributor is ICT (Information and communications technology). According to Britanica Encyclopedia ICT are provided by computational tools and computer that process, store, synthesize, and present information retrieved represented in the most varied forms. It is a set of tools, supports and channels for the treatment and access to information. Constitute new media...
