The document discusses the social, environmental, financial, and technological impacts of information technology. Socially, technologies are shaped not just by inventors but by complex social interactions over long periods of time. Environmentally, computer waste can harm the environment, so developing sustainable materials and assessing environmental impacts of new products is important. Financially, computer technology has generated huge global economic revenues and transformed how the world economy functions. Technologically, advances in data storage, communications, and software applications have changed how organizations manage and share information.
1. Being born as one being and learn to see the world from a social perspective
makes us realize that the innate resilience of man. On this basis, we can add that a
civilization consists of masses, which must learn to survive to achieve a healthy
and harmonious survival.
SOCIAL IMPACT: In applying this analysis of future exposure there are three
stages: first, we present an interpretive flexibility as to what is considered a
technical problem revealing a design that can be multiple versions of what it is and
what is not a problem to solve, and second, describes the social mechanisms that
allow the closure of the controversy started, which can sometimes be achieved by
demonstrating the technical advantage in itself, but in most cases occurs by
simple rhetoric and / or through propaganda. Finally the authors make it embodied
the third stage of this process that explains the mechanisms by which the findings
of localized social groups become universal paradigm.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT: In these movies the truth is that from the
perspective of Social Constructivism, Technology, design and development of
equipment and technological knowledge, does not follow a path "natural", but
depends heavily on the contexts in which is developed depends on many more
people than a simple inventor, whole social groups depends on continuous
interaction over long periods of time.
In this video series will recognize two main ways in which information technologies
can help improve the environment.
The first relates to the product, which mainly focuses on the problems of the
materials.That innovation is necessary to focus on developing new and better
2. materials once they have final way to have a minor effect on the
environment. Waste computer technology become trash that eventually affects the
environment. Several years ago began requiring environmental impact assessment
for the approval of any investment project and its measurement in the socio-
economic assessment of projects. It would be interesting, I'm not sure that today is
made that way, for any new product that came on the market have measured the
environmental impact upon disposal. Important issue in this sense we find in the
provision of cell phones or batteries of all kinds.
FINANCIAL IMPACT: widespread in a spectacular way that has generated huge
revenues to the global economy. Today the computer is present through the
computer or computer in any office, business, banks, virtually anywhere you
manage information. To know which is the economic impact of computer
technology, we have to say that the world economy is no longer conceivable
without the computer. All facets of the economy of any country are run by
computers. In today's economy is the technological development is what causes
change and major cost reduction. The computer plays the most important of these
technological developments. Within the field of computer technology that has
driven the world economy has been to communication networks and their
commercial applications.
TECHNOLOGICAL IMPACT: The century in which we have offered us a great
amount and variety of developments which had to assimilate to deal more
effectively and efficiently our role. In information technology include advances in
the storage of large volumes of data, which has enabled organizations have
increasingly more information to management and decision making. But this
progress has not been without difficulties, since the evolution in data storage was
not extended with the same intensity to the development of software that manages
information, which has led to the present that the institutions have large volumes of
data but not necessarily appropriate programs to provide quality information. In the
past two decades, software companies have devoted significant efforts to develop
applications that facilitate data management in a simple, efficient and safe. But
without doubt one of the largest and most spectacular developments of recent
times has been the communications, information sharing allowing closer the time
being generated.
