Q

You can markedly increase productivity in the company. Developers build applications while sysadmins implement needed system adjustments to let employees work more efficiently and produce results faster.
Take, for example, automation. When your IT team automates a process, it shortens processing time and reduces the risk of costly errors. It also frees up repetitive tasks from your employees’ hands, allowing them to work on projects with better returns. Because of technology, workers can make strategic business decisions—an accurate credit risk scoring system lets them vet good customers from bad ones.

is evolving from pen-and-paper documentation to virtual filing. Patients’ data, treatment protocols, hospital billing, consultations, and charting are now performed with the facilitation of computers.
IT is faster and more reliable than paper files since large amounts of data can be stored continuously. For instance, a patient can have records from birth until death, which healthcare providers and relevant personnel can easily take out and access with a quick search. Therefore, resulting in much more efficiency than browsing through rusty file cabinets for termite-eaten folders.

Communication has improved and evolved to facilitate our daily activities. In the 21st century,
everything related to communication utilizes technology to ‘send out’ or disseminate information to a wider audience. Information can be ‘sent out’ in many ways. The inventions of cellular phones, television and other electronic devices are important inenhancing communication.

A

Evolution of Information and Communication Technology

36
Q

Humans started communicating with one another using words and pictograms curved in rocks. They started to write symbols as substitutes for pictures to depict ideas, objects, and animals.

Human realized that stone tablets are too heavy and bulky. The information to be stored was growing and was becoming enormous, and writing these pieces of information in stone tablets was impractical.When paper was finally produced from the papyrus plant, storing information was revolutionized.

They compiled records written on pieces of paper and bound them together, eventually giving birth to books.

In the late stages of this period, humans started using the numerical system. They started to optimize and invent devices and techniques in counting. The “Abacus” was throw most popular device created come from China.

Q

The use of electricity for information handling and transfer bloomed. The need and the urgency to share information with one another in a faster yet reliable manner over long distances aroused.

The information is coded in sounds of dots, spaces, and dashes over wired ( and eventually wireless) media. The telephone was later invented, enabling voice transmission over long distances. Human started to control electricity using vacuum tubes in devices that eventually led to the development of today’s electronic gadgets.

A

The Electromechanical Period (1840-1940)
