Technology that allows people to make and place phone calls, and share information across long distances

TELEPHONY

The way to access information through the Internet.

WEB

The output of a device that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment.

SENSORS DATA

a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific tasks.

SOFTWARE

CATEGORIES OF SOFTWARE

1. SYSTEM SOFTWARE 2. APPLICATION SOFTWARE

a program designed to run a computer's hardware and applications

SYSTEM SOFTWARE

program that performs a specific personal, educational, and business function.

APPLICATION SOFTWARE

What are the system softwares?

1. Operating System 2. Basic output/input system 3. Boot Program 4. Assemblers 5. Device Drivers

is a software that controls how your hardware works, which means it manages the computer's memory, processes, and all of its software and hardware.

operating system

is a firmware code that is executed when a computer is powered on. It performs a power-on self-test (POST) and initializes the computer before loading the operating system. It is stored in a ROM (read-only memory) chip on the motherboard.

BIOS

means to start a computer up from cold.

boot

When a computer is initially powered on, commands in the computer's ROM are automatically executed that instruct the computer to load the _______________________ into memory and execute its instructions.

BOOT PROGRAM

is a type of computer program that takes in basic instructions and converts them into a pattern of bits that the computer's processor can use to perform basic operations.

ASSEMBLERS

are tiny programs that enable a computer to communicate with its hardware devices, such as printers, scanners, and keyboards.

DEVICE DRIVERS

ADVANTAGES OF I.T

Protecting and Storing Information Automated Processes COMMUNICATION Remote Access or Telecommuting

Electronic storage systems are being created to hold the information that is being shared over the internet and internal intranets.

Protecting and Storing Information

The ability to find ways to complete more work in a shorter amount of time

Automated Processes

__________ in every aspect of human interaction is essential.

COMMUNICATION

Having the ability to access a computer or device from another device, at any time, and from anywhere.

Remote Access or Telecommuting

DISADVANTAGES OF I.T

Expense of Implementation and Maintenance Elimination of Jobs Breaches in Security

Setup costs for implementing an information technology system within a home or business can be very costly.

Expense of Implementation and Maintenance

By implementing IT systems into a company, tasks take less time and therefore, employees have more time throughout the day.

Elimination of Jobs

When information is stored electronically, there are more chances of having security breaches. Hackers are evolving along with technology and they are never up to any good.

Breaches in Security

It is the infrastructure and components that enable modern computing.

ICT, or information and communications technology

ICTs are also used to refer to _______________________ such as audio-visual and telephone networks with computer networks...

the convergence of media technology

refers to the merging of previously distinct media technologies and platforms through digitization and computer networking.

MEDIA CONVERGENCE

is when a single company has interests across many kinds of media.

Economic convergence

is multimedia multitasking, or the natural outcome of a diverse media world.

Organic convergence

is when stories flow across several kinds of media platforms and when readers or viewers can comment on, alter, or otherwise talk back to culture.

Cultural convergence

is when geographically distant cultures are able to influence one another.

Global convergence

is when different kinds of technology merge. The most extreme example of technological convergence would be one machine that controlled every media function.

Technological convergence

refers to the trend or phenomenon where two or more independent technologies integrate and form a new outcome.

Technological Convergence

Elements of Technology Convergence

1. Technology 2. Media and Content 3. Services Applications 4. Robots and Machines 5. Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality

In recent years, they may have similar features such as the ability to connect to WIFI, play rich internet-based media and run apps. People may use either their television or phone to play a game or communicate with relatives, using the same software.

Technology

It is likely that music, movies, video games and informational content will eventually converge to the point that they are no longer distinct formats.

Media and Content

For example, future music may always come with an interactive music video that resembles a game.

Media and Content

In the late 1990s, there was a large difference between business and consumer software and services.

Services Applications

Technology tends to move from a large number of highly specific tools towards a small set of flexible tools with broad applications.

Services Applications

assists in human tasks' performance, which could be otherwise laborious.

Robots and Machines

It is increasingly common for machines such as vehicles or appliances to have semi-autonomous features that technically make them robots.

Robots and Machines

can be viewed as the convergence of real life with digital entities such as simulations, games, and information environments.

Virtual Reality / Augmented Reality

includes all technical means that are used for handling information and facilitating communication, including computers, network hardware communication lines and all necessary software.

ICT

is comprised of... information technology, telephony, electronic media, and all types of process and transfer of audio and video signals, and all control and managing functions based on network technologies.

ICT

refers to the knowledge obtained from reading, investigation, study or research.

Information

__________ is an act of transmitting messages. It is a process whereby information is exchanged between individuals using symbols, signs or verbal interactions.

Communication

__________ is the use of scientific knowledge, experience and resources to create processes and products that fulfill human needs.

Technology

Telephone and fax machines are the devices used in extending communication.

Aiding Communication

To broadcast information such as news or weather reports effectively.
