what are the modern trends of ICT?

The trends in ICT have resulted from advances in two important components: InformationSystems and Communication Technology. Over the past ten years database managementsystems (DBMS) and information retrieval algorithms have been developed to be moreefficient and the communication and data transfer technology has become faster, cheaper and easily accessible to the users at all levels.\n\nDatabase, or on-line transaction processing (OLTP) applications, are designed to handle avery large number of transactions on day-to-day basis. In addition to their own operationaldata, companies also need to access both historical and external data. Data warehousing is designed to hold high volumes of data (over 400 Gigabyte normally) extracted from a diverse range of application systems (Beynon-Davies, 2002). Data mining is normally used with data warehouses and involves using automatic algorithms to extract the required data rather thanthe conventional query designs used in relational DBMS.\n\nThe physical data transmission medium determines the speed, reliability and volume of datathat can be sent. Twisted pair coaxial cables have been superseded by fibre optic cablesoffering the advantages of high capacity and insensitiveness to electrical/electromagneticinterference. Most public telecommunication systems are integrated services digital networks(ISDN), enabling the digital transmission of data and media, whilst communication networksare based on packet-switching. Local area networks (LAN), wide area networks (WAN) and value added networks (VAN) have been used for electronic data interchange (EDI), but arebeing replaced by Internet based technology. In particular, intranets (within organisations)and extranets (between organisations) have been developed. (Kehoe and Boughton, 2001). \n\nIn the grocery industry, the integration of systems across the supply chain is not an easyprocess, as the standards of protocol required for this to happen have not been present. The Global Commerce Initiative (GCI) was established in October 1999 with the aim ofimproving the performance of supply chains in the grocery sector by facilitating integrationbetween manufacturers and retailers through recognised standards. A new XML standardsgateway was announced in July 2001, laying out protocol for five key business transactions in the supply chain: item alignment, party alignment, order, dispatch advice and invoice. Thiswill provide “global users with an open e-business solution to fully and efficiently exploit the power, speed and reach of the Internet” (www.globalcommerceinitiative.org). This is animportant initiative, to improve supply chain performance through time compression.

Change through technological advance is the most obvious.

The many levels of technology have done amazing things to businesses the list is pretty long but here are the main ones:\n1. Real time communication of customers/employees/systems and other things allow better control of inventory and orders.\n2. More creative reporting tools to streamline productivity.\n3. Sharing data among different areas. (Example - accounting shares data with human resources).\n4. The ability to sell items over the internet as well as out of an actual store.\n\nThere are other areas as well but this just gives you an idea of how technology (Cell Phones - Computers - Internet - GPS and other systems) has changed to face of businesses.

Info Tech can be used to spread literacy using video conference, one can reach out to even remote villages without comprising on the quality of teachers.\nInitiatives like ITC's e-choupal which provide free information to farmers about prices for their produce, weather info, etc. thus cutting out middle-men

Technology has made our world so much smaller. It is through this wonderful thing called the internet that we are able of discuss religion with monks in tibet and rock music with hippees in england all without leaving our homes.\nTechnology has allowed us to keep a close knit family relationship cheaply and more easily despite the impedances of distance. Through advances such as webcams and cellular phones I am able to talk to my dad in California for a fraction of what it would have cost just ten years ago.\nTechnology is modelling our society into one without boundaries. It is ever bringing us closer to one another. Whether we want to be close or not.

As far as booksmarts & the ability to multitask goes, we will be smarter. As far as common sense, I believe that we have already gotten dimmer over even the last ten years. The ease of technology on our everyday lives, I think, is undermining our common sense & street smarts :)\n\nGood question!

Today is the generation of information technology.To have information of your surroundings and keep pace with the world you need to have up-to date information. not only a Business men needs to kept informed about the changes of rules and trend in given market , you should have even students to kept well informed about the new sub branches of the Fields they are studying so that they can decide more accurately the Carrier they want to choose .Not only information tells you to carry umbrella today or not the information of how to make a good dish in TV show can make you mouth watering when you find nice colored dish made by your wife witch she watched on TV. Not only TV gives you news it can tell your grand parents the new developments in medical science so that they can have little more hope and chance to live more comfortably. I think i have given you quite a bit of information.
