Adaptability and
interpersonal skills are important for everyone especially who are working in
the certain field. For the IT professionals, it will be more important than
other career because technology is keep changing every day every hour every minute
and even second. It is difficult to catch up the on growing technology and it
is more difficult to be adapted with that running technology. The people who
are working or relating within technology have more challenge to face with the
changes. They need more skill or power to adapt with their changes if not; the
developing technology trend will leave the people behind. It will affect the company/organization
that they are dealing with and besides, the company/organization which is
dealing the IT technology has more competitors than other businesses. IT professionals
must have the skill to solve the changes and avoid the uncertainness. They have
to be ready to face with unpredictable market. In the certain company/organization,
IT professionals are the people who have the big responsibility for their organization
to follow the string of technology changes and who have to handle any kind of complexity.
As the adaptability is important, the
same goes to interpersonal skill is important for the IT professional. Interpersonal
skill are an important thing to have
and can be valuable in almost any situation. Basically interpersonal skills are
skills we have that allow us to effectively communicate with each other. When
they have good interpersonal skills they are able to develop social skills and
can effectively communicate with someone using various techniques. Interpersonal
skills are almost invaluable especially when people want a good relationship
with your manager and other coworkers.
IT professionals are the people who have to communicate mostly with the customers,
their coworkers and the higher places so they must have to improve their
interpersonal skill. Under interpersonal skill, there are 5 main skill included
such as effective communication skill, assertive communication, anger management, conflict resolution and
teamwork. If the IT professionals have these kinds of abilities, I am sure they
can solve all kind of problems for their work place and therefore, it is important
for them.

Future trend of IT in Education
Education plays one of
the most important roles in today society.
The development of technology changes our daily life and social
activities in the good or bad manner. The changes of technology bring both
advantage and disadvantage for the human kind and it is controversial topic to
be debate. However, personally I accept that the growing up of technology can
change the standard of livelihood in the positive manners. As I am a student, I
am familiar with the information technology development in the educational
field and we, student expect more and more development of technology for the
education field which can help us to bring advance level of academic. The Internet is doubling in size every year,
and the web is doubling in size every
90 days. Students need technological fluency so that they can sit down at a
computer and use it as easily as they can pick up and read a book in their
native language. With information coming on line so quickly,
students will no longer need to memorize, but will look up information quickly
and easily. Besides, tests and other assessments will be changed to a system
which is not needed to come to the exam hall and sit the exam. The assessment
will be done by a kind of software or system.
There are 4 main trends
people believe to be changes in the future education.
1. Use SMS Marketing to Connect Education with Life
The students will be able to connect with their lecturers
and among themselves by using the using the networking and communication
channels they use. Greater communication will enable the students to be more
than a teacher associated with merely the classroom. Many schools will use SMS
marketing to update students on deadlines, coursework and schedule changes.
This communication technology is effective when notifying hundreds or even
thousands of students of emergency closures and can keep staff and students
alike informed about important events.
2. Social Media Enables Students to Educate Communities
Students use Social Media to educate politicians and the public in general
about problems that need to be solved. Students can make their own blog which
can share the knowledge with other people, they will be more creativity than
ever. Students will be able to make changes by their won with the help of
social media and students will be able to go further education improvements
without adult supervision or guidance.
3. Universities Offer Free Non Credit On-Line Courses
Student will be allowed to attend more online classes than
regular class which can save much of their time and energy. They can restfully
sit in their place and learn their particular course and explore additional
educational requirements. Moreover, there are some of the website which offer
the students to attend their classes with free of charges so that they can
learn something new without paying the money.
4. 3-D Printing Hits the Road
Low Cost 3-D Printers means
more accessibility including in the classroom. 3-D printers have been used to
create paper covered by solar cells, print buildings from dust and to create a
human vein. Students of all ages can imagine, design and create with a 3-D
printer.
Traditional to digital firm (Online shopping)
As the technology is developing day by day,
most of the traditional businesses have moved to digital firm and globalization
has also changed their way of doing business. In here, I would like to point
out one of the obvious example which is gradually moving from tradition to
digital firm. Online shopping has developed to new heights over the last decade
and shows no signs of slowing down.
The internet has brought practically every
store in the world to point out of anyone with internet access. Shopping online
gives the user the opportunity to search for the product they want through
endless opportunities. Online shopping has grown so large that many companies
are not investing in buildings and mall space, rather in online websites and
web advertising. There has some reasons why shopping online is a better
alternative to traditional shopping.
The first benefit of online shopping is the convenience. While others are out fighting traffic and waiting in lines, online shoppers are home relaxing. Online shoppers can go from store to store by clicking the mouse, while traditional shoppers have to walk, drive or can’t get to the stores they want.

Online shoppers also benefit when it comes to
comparison shopping. Traditional shoppers have to put a lot of work into comparison
shopping. They have to drive from place to place find items and price and go
onto the next place. This can be exhausting and stressful. The online shopper
can do this from his or her couch. Online shoppers can search the planet for
the product they are looking for, while traditional shoppers are limited to a
small area.
The most important one is saving money; it is always a big concern when shopping. Online shoppers can save more money than traditional shoppers which have more than one options to buys in the mall.

The advantages of the digital firm, the
businessmen are moving their ways of doing business from tradition.
Introduction to Sematic web
The Semantic Web is the extension of the World Wide Web
that enables people to share content beyond the boundaries of applications
and websites. It has been described in rather different ways: as a utopic
vision, as a web of data, or merely as a natural paradigm shift in our daily use of the Web. Most of
all, the Semantic Web has inspired and engaged many people to create innovative
semantic technologies and applications. semanticweb.org is the common platform for the community.
Introduction to Quantum computing
First proposed in the 1970s, quantum
computing depend on quantum physics by taking advantage of certain quantum
physics properties of atoms or nuclei that allow them to work together as
quantum bits to be the computer's processor and memory. By interacting
with each other while being remote from the external environment, quantum bit
can perform certain calculations exponentially faster than conventional
computers.
Quantum bit do not base on the
traditional binary nature
of computing. While traditional computers encode information using binary
numbers, either 0 or 1, and can only do calculations on one set of numbers at
once, quantum computers encode information as a series of quantum-mechanical
states such as spin directions of electrons or polarization orientations of a
photon that might represent a 1 or a 0, might represent a combination of the
two or might represent a number expressing that the state of the quantum bit is
somewhere between 1 and 0, or a superposition of many different numbers at
once. A quantum computer can do an arbitrary reversible classical computation
on all the numbers simultaneously, which a binary system cannot do, and also
has some ability to produce interference between various different numbers. By
doing a computation on many different numbers at once, then interfere the
results to get a single answer, a quantum computer has the potential to be much
more powerful than a classical computer of the same size. In using only a
single processing unit, a quantum computer can naturally perform myriad
operations in parallel.
Quantum computing is not well suited for
tasks such as word processing and email, but it is ideal
for tasks such as cryptography and modeling and indexing very large databases.
Introduction of GRID computing
Grid computing is a form of networking. Unlike
conventional networks that focus on communication among devices, grid computing
connects unused processing cycles
of all computers in a network for solving problems too intensive for any
stand-alone machine.
A well-known grid computing project is the
SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) at Home project, in which PC
users worldwide donate unused processor cycles to help the search for signs of interplanetary
life by analyzing signals coming from outer space. The project relies on
individual users to volunteer to allow the project to connect the unused
processing power of the user's computer. This method saves the project both
money and resources.
Grid computing does require special software that is unique to the computing
project for which the grid is being used.
Introduction to Nanotechnology
A basic
definition of nanotechnology is the
engineering of functional systems at the molecular scale. This
covers both current work and concepts that are more advanced. In its original sense,
nanotechnology refers to the projected ability to construct items from the bottom up, using techniques
and tools being developed today to make complete, high performance products.
Nanotechnology as defined by size is naturally very broad,
including fields of science as diverse as surface
science, organic chemistry, molecular biology, semiconductor
physics, micro fabrication, etc.
The associated research and applications are equally diverse, ranging from
extensions of conventional device
physics to completely new
approaches based upon molecular
self-assembly, from developing new
materials with dimensions on the
Nano scale to direct control of
matter on the atomic scale.
Implications of nanotechnology become very debatable
concerns within the scientists in nowadays. Nanotechnology may be able to
create many new materials and devices with a vast range of applications, such as in medicine, electronics, biomaterials and energy production. On the other
hand, nanotechnology raises many of the same issues as any new technology, including
concerns about the toxicity and
environmental impact of Nano materials, and their potential effects on global
economics, as well as speculation about various doomsday scenarios. These concerns
have led to a debate among advocacy groups and governments on whether special regulation of nanotechnology is warranted.
2010 IBM global CEO study
As far as what I
understand about the CEOs, they are the people who are holding the highest
position of certain company/organization and who has the biggest responsibilities
for their company/organization issues. It
is natural that every organization has to be faced with complexity in some
situation and avoiding option is not an option. In my point of view, none of
the CEOs will allow the complexity to become a stifling force that slows
responsiveness, overwhelms employee and customers or threatens the profits. Since they cannot avoid the complexity within
their organization, they have to find the new strategies to solve the problem
or they must have known the special techniques or they need to follow some kind
of frame work which can be resolve the problems. I have done some research
about the controlling complexity in business these are some basic strategies
which are suitable as a solution.
1.
Problem identification
2.
Identification of potential
solutions
3.
Evaluation of potential solutions
4.
Anticipation of negative
consequences
5.
Overcoming obstacles to carrying out
a solution
6.
. Detailed plan for carrying out a solution
Being as a leader is
not a great job; but when the problems come, the ways of solving the problems
and the views and attitude upon the problems show the abilities of the great
leaders.

What is usability in software design? Why is it important?
The definition comes
that usability is a measure of how easy it is to
use a product to perform prearranged tasks. Usability
of software design mean when designing a certain kind of software, it should be
easy for the users to use that software; meaning that it should be user center
design or user-oriented design. It should be combination of user
concerns and advocacy from the beginning of the design process and prescriptions
that the needs of the user should be principal in any design decisions. How can
we have the high usability design?? The most visible aspect of this approach is
usability testing, in which users work and interact with the product interface
and get the feed backs from the users and make something changes with the
designers and developers.
If the designers do not give consideration about
usability in their software design or web application design, their product
will be less fame and it will find difficulties for the users to use their
products. After all, it’s certainly possible to release a working,
le
One of the most obvious examples of web application which
has got great success and become the most famous website of the world in
nowadays, that is “Facebook”. One of the key reasons of becoming most popular
one among other social site is that “user-friendliness” of it. The web design
of Facebook is easy to learn, use, deal with and understandable
for the users. comparing with competitors of Facebook such as Twitter, MySpace,
Google plus and so on, Facebook got the highest demand because the designers
made their design based on the needs or likes of users and the feature also
clear for the users to access. Therefore, usability is one of the most
important factors for the software/web application and the user-centeredness or
user-friendliness of design is also a need for their product.

Most CS people laugh at MIS/IT people and MIS/IT people make more money and manage the CS folks.
What I have learnt from my IT lecture is that IT field has
the broader range of job opportunities and has wider knowledge than CS people
who are only focusing on the programming works. But, CS people have the deeper
range of knowledge on the programming field comparing with IT people. Both of
the fields are important and they are really doing the great job in technology
field for the sake of human kind goods.
To be compared the job opportunities and salary between IT
people and CS people; I have heard that people from IT field can earn more
salary than CS people. Most of the CEO Job places and other higher places in
technology relating companies are for the people from IT field because they
have learnt the wider range of technology and even they have learnt some kind
of IT in business courses in their field. For the CS people, they have narrower
job opportunities rather than IT because their main focus is on programming
only and they have learnt different languages in programming field. In most
company, programmers cannot be the CEOs since they have only knowledge on
programming. So, IT people have more knowledge in the business field and that
is the reason they can earn more salary than CS people.
Most of the CS people laugh at IT people in their field
because since in the degree program, CS students have more works to do and they
have learnt most complicated part of the ICT and in some university entrance,
CS students need good grades than IT students. May be this is the reason that
CS people look down on the IT people and they may be proud of their own course.
But when they are in works, IT people got more opportunities than CS people and
which fuelled the envy and they laugh at IT people. This is just my assumption
and what I have heard about them from the real world of ICT field. Actually, IT
or CS people, they are the people who can bring the big changes of the world!!
