information technology

Information technology viewed from the composer of technology and information. In easy Information technology is the result of human engineering of the process to deliver information from the sender to the receiver so that the delivery of such information would:

* Faster
* Wider spreading, and
* Longer storage.


[edit] History

At the beginning of history, people exchanging information through language. So language is technology. Language allows one to understand the information conveyed by others. But the language that passed from mouth to mouth only lasted a moment, that is only when the sender to inform through words alone. After the speech was finished, the information in the hands of the recipient will be forgotten and can not be stored longer. Besides voice range is also limited. To a certain distance, though still audible, the information conveyed through the language will sound degraded even disappear altogether.

After that technology developed to deliver information through pictures. With a range image could be further information. This image can be carried and delivered 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 conveyed to the manufacturer.

Discovery of the alphabet and numbers arabik easy 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. This alphabet technology with ease in the writing of the information.

Then, printing technology enables the transmission of information more quickly. Electronic technologies such as radio, tv, computers lead to more rapid information spread over a larger area and longer stored.
