The
world has witnessed an information revolution, a combination of massive
increase in the world’s inventory of information and technical
development and means to cope with it. Information technology is the
name given to the means of processing and transmitting information.
Information
technology is a subject that is very wide. There is hardly no sector of
the economy that information technology is not being applied. For
example in manufacturing, computers are used to do product design,
product packaging. In engineering, computers are used to do different
types of designs. In remote sensing and earth observation, satellite is a
computer based technology in orbit for data transmission to the ground
for interpretation. The world of commerce is far more automated than the
actual production of goods. Banking, transportation and distribution of
goods are being more transformed by electronics. The world of commerce
is information intensive. It is required that information be made
available on goods, their prices, their utility and the modern means for
paying for those goods. Microcomputers are now widely used in hospitals
and medical practice, medical research and medical decision-making.
The new technology offers new hope to the deaf, blind and the disabled.
Diagnostic tests and laboratory analysis are quicker and easier.
