Technology & Information

Definition of Technology & Information  

Before we discuss more about the technology and information, then we must know first, whether the technology and the information itself ? so, we will be more easily fatherly figure it out. technology is the scientific method to achieve the purpose of practical, applied science or can be translated as a whole means to provide the goods necessary for the survival and comfort of human life. In addition, the technology can also be interpreted as the development of a medium / tool that can be used more efficiently in order to process and controlling a problem. Meanwhile, the etymology of the word "information" comes from old French 'informacion' (in 1387) taken from the Latin 'informationem' which means' outlines, concepts, ideas ". Information is a noun of 'informare' which means the activity in the "knowledge communicated". So that means the lighting information, notices, news or news about all things and environments that support the overall meaning of the message which is seen in parts of the mandate it. From understanding the technology and the information above, if we combine those two words became "information technology" of course you will get a little impression of understanding. Information technology, or better known in English 'Information Technology' (IT) is a general term to describe any technology that can help people in creating, modifying, storing, communicating and / or disseminate information. In conclusion, information technology can be interpreted as a whole means necessary for the sustenance and comfort of human life contains news, notices, information and news that concerns about various things. 




History of Technology & Information
 

At the beginning of history, people exchanging information through language. So language is a technology, the language allows one to understand the information conveyed by others but did not last as long because after the speech was finished, then the information in the hands of the recipient will be forgotten and can not be stored longer. In addition sound range is also limited.
After that develops technology to deliver information through pictures. With a range of images could be further information. This image can be carried and passed on to others. In addition there is information that will last longer. Some pictures ancient relics still exist today so that people now can (try to) understand the information to be conveyed manufacturer.
The discovery of the alphabet and Arabic numbers easier way to deliver information more efficiently than the previous way. An image that represents an event created by the combination of the alphabet, or by writing numbers, such as MCMXLIII replaced by 1943. The technology to facilitate the writing of this alphabet that information.
Then, the printing technology enables faster delivery of information. Electronic technology such as radios, televisions, computers become faster resulting information spread over a larger area and longer stored.




Development of Technology & Information

Technology & Information spur the development of a new way of life, from life begins to end this kind of life known as e-life, meaning life has been influenced by a variety of needs electronically. And now it is overflowing with a variety of letters that begin with the prefix e-, such as e-commerce, e-government, e-education, e-libraries, e-journal, e-medicine, e-laboratory, e-biodiversity, and the another based electronics.When talking about technology, certainly can not be separated from human life. Forever, as long as human civilization still exists, technology will continue to be the most important thing in life.It is currently the trend and crowded discussed are technology & information which is one of the most important thing in this century. It is inevitable that the technology & information can not be separated from human life. Ranging from small children to parents, small traders to large employers, whether realized or not is so dependent on technology & information.When viewed from the eyes of history, technology & information is already becoming known hundreds of people since many centuries ago. Since man was created on this earth, humans have started trying to communicate with symbols and cues. This is a starting point for the development of technology & information. Humans are more advanced and modern are able to communicate orally and begin to document the information in writing and either in the form of carved symbols and pictures.In times past, technical information of documentation was still simple, but ultimately continued to grow very rapidly until today. Some of the tools used in ancient times, among others, bone, stone, bark, clay, and animal skins. The characteristics of the way the information was anciently spread information with slower and less effective.After a period of industrial revolution, mechanical tools and even electronics began to be found, including tools that can make the dissemination of information becomes more easily and effectively. If at first distant people who can only communicate by mail or by courier, then in the middle of this century has begun to use the telegraph. A few years later, Alexander Graham Bell invented the telephone that is able to be used for communication by people though distant.Information & Technology developing so rapidly today. Currently, distance and time seems to no longer be an obstacle to communication. People who are in different islands and even different countries is now able to communicate even able to be displayed visually.In addition, the data processing was more rapid and efficient. Various electronic items ranging from televisions, mobile phones, pagers, PDAs, laptops to palmtops already into items that are not familiar to the public. The development of technology & information even more rapidly along with the discovery tools are more sophisticated.See what happens now, can imagine what might happen in the future. Distance no longer be felt. Later, long-distance communication will be done with three-dimensional hologram that is so real. Jobs humans will begin the work done by the robot automatically and is able to learn from experience so as to correct errors which he did by itself.Computer technology will be growing rapidly. Future computers will be able to respond to human actions and understand human language. More sophisticated again, the computer predicted the coming generations, will have feelings like human beings.
