Information Technology

Utilization of Information Technology What exactly is meant by information technology? Is that information technology is identical to the computer? This question is often phrased and to answer it required an understanding of information technology itself.
Information technology (Information Technology), commonly abbreviated as IT, IT or Infotech. In Oxford Home Dictionary (OED2) 2nd edition defines the information technology hardware and software, and can include network and telecommunications which are usually in a business context or business. According to Haag and Keen (1996), information technology is a set of tools that help you work with information and perform tasks related to information processing. According to Martin (1999), information technology is not confined to computer technology (hardware and software) that will be used to process and store information, but also includes communications technology to transmit / disseminate information. While Williams and Sawyer (2003), reveals that information technology is a technology that combines computing (computer) with high-speed communication lines that carry data, voice, and video.
From the definition above, it appears that information technology is not limited to computer technology, but also including telecommunications technology. In other words that information technology is the result of convergence between computer technology and telecommunications technology.
Computer technology is the technology associated with computer devices such as printers, fingerprint reader, CD-ROM, processor, disk, and others. Computer is a versatile machine that can be used for processing any data into useful information. This is possible because the computer can be controlled by a program consisting of a series of instructions. The computer will act on instructions received from the program. In other words the computer will act as you wish the program makers.
Communication or telecommunication technology is long-distance communication technology. Including telecommunications technology that we use everyday is the telephone, television, radio, handy-talkies, mobile phones. It said earlier that information technology is the convergence between computer technology and telecommunication technology, the current telecommunications technology mentioned above has to be used to connect several computers. So that multiple computers can communicate with each other easily. This is the meaning of the word "convergence" over the then commonly known as Information Technology.

Latest Technology 2011: Hologram TV Technology

Starting a new year, information about the latest technologies in 2011 has been widely circulated. And this time I try to share one of them. After yesterday's no technology in 2010 odd about the coffin,now that more widely nih information about holographic TV technology.

Starting early 2011, Apple plans to immediately develop atelevision and a screen that produces holographic images without the need for special glasses. This technology-related patentsreveals latest.

A recent Apple patent reveals that the company that manufacturesthe iPod and the iPhone is currently working to create a screen thatcan produce three-dimensional holographic images withoutglasses. This technology will provide a more realistic experience to the user.

Apple's patent claims that the technology will create an image thatappears in a hologram and have the ability to track the movement of the public eye.

Holographic TV technology is a remarkable aspect of the inventionbecause it produces a virtual experience that is indistinguishable from that seen actual holographic image.

Three-dimensional television will become the latest technology trends 2011 after the producers are ready to launch 3D televisionand blu-ray player.

SmartBird Festo Robot Capable Seagull Fly Like Bird Original

Stunning view of technological innovation that exist in SmartBird which is a robot bird that can fly with a motion almost exactly the original bird and bird model has excellent aerodynamic qualities and extreme agility like a normal bird. With SmartBird, Festo the author has succeeded in deciphering the flight capabilities of birds into the technology that we can use. Robot bird brings bionic technology, inspired by the herring gull, which could start flying off the ground independently - without additional drive mechanism. 

Wings not only move up and down, but also rotates at a certain angle. This is made possible by the active drive unit articulated torsional, which in combination with a complex control system to reach the level of efficiency that is unprecedented in aviation operations. Festo has thus succeeded for the first time in creating a technical adaptation of energy efficient models from nature.

This robot has a carbon fiber material and electronic controls closely denganb only 0.4 kilograms only. Festo has demonstrated technology that illustrates how sophisticated robot able to fly: SmartBird aerodynamically very efficient, even turning his head like a real seagull do to make aerobatik movement. 

But if you think about the larger implications of this robot, the chances are quite stunning: Imagine a robot spy plane based on this technology, packed with GPS systems are ultra-lightweight, powerful battery and high-precision camera and microphone. The type of data that can be collected secret surveillance robot bird will certainly impressive - and more stylish than any device other spy drones out there. SmartBird robot uses Zigbee radio communications that convey information to a computer that mentrak flights, increasing pergerakaannya.

iMobot Modular Robots for Research

University of California Davis commercializing modular robots that will allow researchers to study such a robot AI field of robotics, biomimetics, and collaboration without having to build the robot hardware itself. Barobo IMobot quoted from news.com, developed by Graham Ryland and Harry Cheng, intended to fill a gap in the market for modular machines for research.  

As shown in the video below, each module iMobot can crawl or roll around, and standing. The camera can be inserted into the faceplate rotating joints, according to the researchers. Modules can be linked into shape like a snake robot that can be stretched on uneven terrain, or larger formations that can move on wheels.   

Each module has a standard mount to the other modules and sensor modules can be added in limited configurations. Start-ups this robot maker receives research funding for small business innovation-from the National Science Foundation, and they hope to market iMobot at the end of 2011.
