Huge advantage. Releases that would take a day to stuff and send through postal mail to 250 newspapers can now be sent in minutes through e-mail or mail merges. Plus, it allows PR people to stay in touch constantly (remote e-mail, BlackBerry, etc.) Last, it has created new avenues for publicity (online publications, RSS, blogs, etc.)

Absolutely.  Public relations (or perhaps more specifically MEDIA relations) professionals work with newspaper reporters all the time.  When a business has information that they would like to be distributed via newspaper, many times they will call a PR pro.  That PR pro will craft the information into something that will be interesting to a reporter (at least, a good PR pro will) and then contact the reporter to work with them to make the story happen.

When used correctly, technology media are very effective as reinforcers for near-mastery material, introducing discussion topics, etc.\n\nMost people learn best when presented information repeatedly, in a variety of formats.

Advantages -- it can be private, so you avoid the Internet \ntrolls.\n\nDisadvantages -- it's easier to waste time because it's more friendly; you get used to those horrid abbreviations ("u r" instead of "you are") and they become part of your regular online chatter.

If that's what interests you it is. If so, it might be wise to take a couple courses in information security issues. It will make you much more marketable. Good luck.

Yes. The overall benefits are also positive.\n\nThe people who gain are the people who understand the new rules of competition and the master imperative of continuous learning. Continuous learning and the importance of knowledge have been written about since the early 90s by writers such as Peter Drucker. The people who will succeed under globalization or in the new global economy are the people who understand and master technologies and also perhaps more importantly, who understand the value of knowledge and intellectual capital in today’s rather cerebral economy. (Where knowledge accounts for more and more of the growing value in products and services).

Information Technology helps in arranging and managing information. It guides how and when a particular information is to be delivered and to whom. Training means developing a particular speciality (expertness) in someone. Thus it needs some specific information is to be fed in a specially arranged manner. Thus this arrangement and management correlates Information Management and training and development.

Information technology (IT) or Information and communication(s) technology (ICT) (also Infocomm, esp. in Asia) is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information, especially in large organizations.\n\nIn particular, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists, and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the IT department. Other names for the latter are information services (IS) or management information services (MIS), managed service providers (MSP).

Usually Information Technology is developed to do things more efficiently (at least that is the goal!). For example, webpages and email systems allow companies to more efficiently market their products to customers and even process orders. And internal systems allow companies to more efficiently track inventory, cash flow, personnel, etc.\n\nThe thing most people miss when implementing IT is the human component. The people who will be using the technology must be deeply involved in the implementation to ensure that they are not implementing technology for the sake of technology, but are making current (and/or future) processes easier, faster, better, and cheaper.\n\nI hope that answers your question.

That's a good question.  I am an applied information technology student and have friends who are studying Management information systems.  I think that Information systems refers to the solutions already put in place to make work easier and improve efficiency.  For instance an MIS major isn't expected to re-invent the wheel when they join an IT department.  On the other hand information technology teaches you about computing from a practical and vantage point of view.  You see the problems and suggest solutions.  Solutions that you will implement and someone with a background in information systems will take over and work on daily.  For instance, a bus company like greyhound writes tickets by hand.  the information technology guy says no we should use a database, he designs and implements it and then an information system worker comes in to maintain and do the daily activities the database needs to function.\n\nI hope this answers your question.

If your looking for IT knowledge you have the best tool in front of you experiment with your own computer. I have been in IT for almost 10 years. And I have seen alot of people go threw the IT courses only too find out a majory of there certifications didn't really prepare them for real problems that can happen. Training is good. But should not be a substitute for good experance. Both need to be used hand and hand. Training and Experance. So don't be afraid to do both.

Public relations is how one is viewed by the public.  It's the act of altering the views, attitudes or opinions of the public. It's not the same thing as publicity because public relations is communicating an image.  Many events or people have a person that deals in public relations so that the correct image is shown of how the event or person is supposed to come across to the public.

Many physicists go into information technology professions. I have seen quite a few, ranging from PhDs and bachelors, working in IT consulting, teaching, programming, and all sorts. It seems that stuff learnt in physics lectures can be translated into IT work too.

Since you've asked the question in the Programming & Design section...\n\nIT is Information Technologu, and it's the "department" that is responsible for the proper application of technology towards business solutions.\n\nThe true power of IT rests in it's ability to sucessfully services the data processing requirements of the income producing cost centers of the organizations.

What I usally see with Technology is although we do take a step foward we usally take a step back too. You lose some of the "Quick fixes" that you were used to, but using DTP (Direct to Plate) technology definatly has it's advantages.\nMuch quicker, less manpower, cheaper, better quaility to name a few... but if that machine goes down your shop is at a standstill! Also if you need to make a change on the printed product, it sometimes can take longer with DTP then just making a piece of film and stripping it in. DTP is here to stay, for now anyways... as for the future? No idea.

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

i believe career opportunities will always be large for IT Networking and telecom.\n\nAs the world and technology advances, so do jobs pertaining to it.
