INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (IT & ICT)


     In this opportunity, I love to start new topic. It is Information Technology or IT and Information and Communication Technology or ICT. Actually, most of us know this topic, but some of us are thinking that both points are the same. In fact, both are slightly different. Nevertheless, let me talk about it. I will share with in conceptual form. Later on, we might be able to distinguish between IT and ICT. Let's begin.
 

  • Information Technology is any computer-based tool that people used to work with information and to support the information and organization's needs.  
  • IT comprises IT architecture and IT infrastructure. 
  • IT architecture is a high level map or plan of the information assets in organization. It integrates and fulfill entire organization' needs.  
  • IT infrastructure is the physical facilities and the basic of building information. It composes three elements. They are IT component,which are hardware and software, IT service that is system, IT personnel that is people.

  • Information and Communication Technology is similar to IT, but focuses on communication technologies. This includes the internet, wireless networks, cell phones and communication mediums.  
  • We can use ICT in daily life, such as Healthcare, Education, Banking, Business, Government, science and so on.  
  • Role of ICT in Education is educators are turning to IT and ICT to assist in education. 
  • Role of ICT in Banking effects how managers decide, how they plan and what products and services are offered in the banking industry.
  • ICT in business can be used to communicate between individuals, organization, a business and external organization.
 
    Lastly, here are my points which I understood. IT and ICT are slightly different, because in ICT we focus on communication or media broadcasting. However, we should learn in different form in order to extend our mind and understanding. In information technology, it includes two components. They are IT architecture, which integrates and fulfill needs of organization, IT infrastructure which is to build information. Nowadays, people use ICT as a part of their lives, because it can apply to any field, and it is very useful. However, we should take care of our steps or actions to be saved. We have to avoid from wrong usage.

    In this session, I would like to talk about Information Management. I know most of you conceive that what it is. It is the way of managing information. However, let me share with you, what exactly information management is, and what you are supposed to know in this topic.

  • Information management or IM is to manage any kind of information, or the collection and management of information from one or more sources and distribute to audience. 
  • 4 Components of IM are Technology, People or user, content and process. 
  • In term of technology, IM encompasses systems such as web content management, document management, record management and so on. 
  • Any technology system has its own problem, but every problem can be solved. Absolutely, in information management also has problems, such as large number of disparate IMS, little integration or coordination between information systems, range of legacy systems requiring upgrading or replacement and many more.
     In order to know wisely, we should know one more thing. It is about computer. Now let’s talk about computer. Nowadays, computer has been spread to everywhere in the world. So it is useful for us to know what computer is.
  • Computer is a programmable machine or device that carries out what it has been instructed to do. 
  • Processing of computer requires a set of instructions, known as programs or software. 
  • A computer holds data, instruction, instruction and information in storage for future use. 
  • Evolution of computers has five era: 
- Pre computer and early computer is Abacus.

- First generation is Vacuum Tube, followed by Universal Automatic Computer.

- Second generation is Transistors.

- Third generation is Integrated Circuits.

- Fourth generation is Very Large Scale Integration and Ultra Large Scale Integration.

- Fifth generation is what is going on in present time.

  • We can rely on computer, because of its speed, versatility,storage and communication.
  • We have got six categories of computer;  

  1. Embedded computer (a mini computer embedded into a specific product for a specific function) 
  2. Mobile computer (small computer that fits on our hand) 
  3. Personal computer (designed for a single user at a time)  
  4. Midrange (physically likes small cabinet, hosting data and programs)   
  5. Mainframe (computer that can handle thousands of connected users) 
  6. Supper computer (it is used for computation and processing)
     Finally, I want to share with what I have learned. Actually, this lesson tells us about IM and computer. So things that I got is the way that we manage our information by using a proper computer. In case of our learning, accessing devices, which can support us, is very important. Having computer is more useful for everybody. Everybody should be able to have it one. It can open the door for us to access any information in the world. Last but not least, computer can also destroy us when we do not know how to use smartly.


Bye....Bye......for now

    Introduction to Information Technology


     All in one, in my lovely lesson I have learned so many new things. So it would be a good news for me. In order to make me happy more and more. I would like to share some information with you in term of short statement. Here, I want to start with main point and follow its definition, concept or principle.


     Information Technology System
- Data is raw facts, which can be in the form of numbers, characters, symbols, pictures or even  
   sounds.
- Information is organized or processed by computer and it
                                                        has meaningful.
- Knowledge is a structure of information which is applied.
- Data integrity is considered as quality of data. It mostly relates with secure and the way we
  can trust the data by having garbage in and garbage out. Obviously, we cannot create correct
  information from incorrect data.

     As I have mentioned before, the quality of data is valuable information. So in order to clarify the quality of valuable information, the information should be accurate, verifiable, timely, organized, completed and useful.


- The information basically can influence, persuade and useful in decision-making.
- Information comprises Reach (the number of people) and Richness
  (amount of quality information).
- Richness consists bandwidth, customization and interactivity.
- A computer converts data (from input) to become information (as output)
- Information processing cycle includes five components. They are Input, Processing, Output,
  Storage and Communication.
- To come up the new way of organizing work can be done by nature of economic competition

     All those statements are basic concept which is under Information Technology field. So we need to understand in this part before we study another part.
However, we have a limited interest. So let’s enjoy and explore our abundant life, and try to apply those information in the real life. It may help us to develop a certain valuable skill.

ASSALAMUALAIKUM WARAHMATULLAH WABARAKATUH

Dear all my lover

     Here I would like to share with you about my experiences while I am at university. Before that, I want to start with some facts of my university.

Let's go ahead *****

      Albukhary International University is a unique diversity university. It has its own special value. It is located in Kedah, Malaysia. This university is known as charitable university and also humaniversity university. It is donated by our founder, Shed Mokhtar Albukhary. This university has been being provided for those who are underprivileged and disadvantaged. However, this university will be known as model international university.

     Here I will start to share honestly some my fact experience with you, by focusing on two objects which are learning and living.

     The staple object, why I am here, is studying and learning. During my period of times, I have learnt and studied in any part not only academic, but also the diversity of cultures, languages, religions and mind. In order to know how far the differences and the similarity we have and how close we are. During my long six months period time, I have been learning in Intensive English Programme (IEP). This programme was very fantastic and awesome and also big challege, because I had to adapt myself and change my mind on using English instead of my native language in communication. You can imagine how awesome it is at the first time, but now I have been here for long. So it could make me familiar with the surrounded environment. I would be able to feel free in gaining knowledge.


      The last object is we live pleasantly as one big family. we love to help each other. Before I have realized as above, I thought I might be difficult to live and stay together with others, because of the scare between us, such as they are taller and stronger than me and so on. Fortunately, they are all good student. They respect me even I am younger than them. So now, our relationships is robust and permanent. There has nothing that can obstruct between us any more, whenever we are under of AIU students.

WAALAIKUMUS SALAM
