Information Technology and National Development
1. COMMUNICATION
IT plays a fundamental role in the communication sector For instance,
communication is being availed at a cheaper cost , convenience , and
above all at a faster rate .The global network of computers, called
the internet , which is an aspect of IT plays a very vital role in
the communication sector. Its benefits include:
1. Internet enables conferences to be held irrespective of the
distance between the parties involved.
2. Internet enables the exchange of textual messages at a faster rate
between the parties involved irrespective of the distance. IT plays a
very fundamental role in the communication sector. For instance,
communication is being availed at a cheaper cost.
3. Internet through E-mailing, enables transfers of information at a
faster rate and at a cheaper cost as compared to the traditional
postal mail.
4. Internet also enables one to discover more information through
browsing it.
5. Internet, furthermore, avails news about sports, games, politics,
health, through relevant websites. This further serves the purpose of
entertaining the users.
2. GOVERNANCE
-------------
IT is the chief driving for re-engineering and transforming the
government to with the needs of the citizenry .This is achieved
through the use of IS for managing security and government offices.
For instance, extensive computerization of various government offices,
not only easens operations, but also enhances transparency in the
day-to-day operations. a typical example is the computerization of the
E.C.K. offices.This enhances registration of voters at...
... middle of paper ...
... the skilled and the unskilled. This contributes
to the national economy through pay of taxes and also duty for the
export of IT products.
For instance, in the formal sector, various people are employed in the
management of IS and also the manufacture of IT products.
CONCLUTION
From the above points, it is deduced that It plays a crucial role
towards the survival and the growth of the economy. Every sector of
the economy (Health, Agriculture, Transport, Education, Finance,
Tourism and communication,) is averred to grow and develop due to IT.
This calls for the establishment of policies and strategies in order
to realize economic growth and development.
It is my sincere hope that this report is going to supplement the
knowledge that is going to incorporated especially in the effecting of
the strategies.
Smith: I think it's vital in almost every industry I know of. I mean, I don't know many industries as well as I do my own, but I am constantly amazed at the profundity of IT and the Internet in almost every field and human endeavor, whether it's medicine, farming, the military, or any other thing that I brush up against. It's just all pervasive, it's changing the face of everything. And those that are not involved in it do so at their peril, in my opinion.
With all the technology today, the Internet is still off-limits to certain people. Everyone does not own a computer and because of this, everyone is not computer literate. Mostly middle and upper class people have their own laptops, or computers, and are able to pay for Internet service. Other people, like student's who use their schools computers or people who go to libraries, are forced to use whatever equipment is available, which is, in most cases, not top of the line and sometimes may or may not have the Internet. Soon this world will be computer-based and if you do not have your own computer or at least access to one, you will be behind. The Internet is an important part of computers considering the many uses it offers.

Bernie Hogan, Oxford Internet Institute. As the majority of humans, whether it be students, teachers, people in the workforce, or whomever it may be, we all rely on the internet for something in our lives. We use it in order to see sporting events scores, event dates, the weather, and even recipes. We do not necessarily have to rely on the internet for all our intellectual needs. But however, when we do, we read it, comprehend it, further explore it, and learn it.
Technology is a resourceful tool that all of the world has grown to see. We are now getting accustomed to the internet.
First, the Internet has affected us socially and allows people to communicate with friends and family across the
Page 2:The Internet is a boundless system used for the individual to enhance, and occasionally consume their internal programming of a daily schedule, their life. It has not only transformed how humans interact and communicate with one another, but has offered a new form of government involvement.
The Internet has changed the way people interact with each other and entertain themselves. It has changed the way business is done. It has also changed the way people date, commit crime, and interview for jobs, it has even changed health care, among many other things. Technology and the Internet are not going away and the need for people to adapt is prominent. Internet is so prominent in Management Information systems. There are Internet based information systems. These systems are important because they can improve company efficiency. These systems can house data with extreme efficiency. Internet based information systems leave the possibilities of efficiency unlimited. Technology is only going to expand farther and new ways to communicate digitally will be introduced into businesses. It has already altered the way we interact with one another, and consumers to suppliers.
ICT includes networking technologies, telecommunications and information technology (telephone, T.V., Internet, computers, etc.) that directly or indirectly influence our socio-economic, educational and cultural activities.
Since the internet has been developed, there are many positive factors. One of these factors deals with the aspect of
The Impact of Information Technology on Individuals, Society and Organizations Information systems and information technology are important in supporting, maintaining and enriching many aspects of livings. They bring benefits to lives of individuals, operations of business and the functioning of society but there are also drawbacks associated with technology and information system. Both good and bad impacts of information system and technology to individuals, organisations and the society will be discussed in detail in the following paragraphs.
The internet has revolutionized all forms of communication since the beginning of its existence. The world has now become smaller' or more like a global village', so to speak. The internet was first used by the U.S military for communications purposes. The internet, from the communication point of view, has brought on new developments and techniques to keep in touch not only for individuals, but for businesses as well. An example of how the internet has impacted communication would be an example of doctors now communicating through live video feeds via the internet with patients or other doctors to diagnose patients or to even guide and advise surgeons through complicated procedures.
The Impact of ICT on Society I will talk about how ICT has effected people from all walks of life, how it has effected jobs and living conditions. = == == ==
In Globalization process technology is the main factor. I meant to say Information Technology. We have lot of examples how IT is effect on globalization. 25 years back in computer and telecom field they improved a lot in span of short time, which is access to economic potential and information. So later years this effect is on all areas of the economy. Can you imagine now any field without computer and internet? No right. So all these are in the part of IT. Making easy to understand and creating effective channels in the process of exchange information. IT has been medium for global integration.
The Internet has received a great deal of attention in the media lately due to its tremendous
