...executives are wrong who believe that information technology is a strategic value that provides a competitive advantage. He says: ‘As information technology’s power and ubiquity have grown, its strategic importance has diminished. The way you approach information technology investment and management will need to change dramatically.’ Scarcity gives the capacity to be the basis for a sustained competitive advantage. Because information technology is easily accessible now, the strategic importance of information technology has been reduced. The main focus of this article is that organizations should handle information technology as a product in which it should reduce vulnerabilities, pursue to keep costs low, and avoid taking risks. Information technology’s power and ubiquity has begun to change this technology from strategic resources into factors of production. The three basic functions of information technology are storage, processing, and transport of data which has become one of the most important key to do business. Carr also argues that managers must focus on managing their time and also spend a good time understanding the importance of technology and how it impacts the firm level. Carr believes that companies need to understand that information system cannot provide strategic advantages and that the companies need to focus on managing the information technology cost because information system went through the same phase as earlier technologies.

...Catherine Gilpin AC1109856 AN310 Assignment 5 11/15/11 “Technology and the family” / “Technology and social change” “Communication will change our lives” by Graham T.T. Molitor, promotes and agrees with new, advanced technology. Graham thinks that its advancements over the years has improved and eased the work load on people. Vs.”The effects on family and communication” by Dr.J.A Lueck, argues that the impact of technology can and has troubled families and the work force. (Molitor, 2003) (Lueck, 1998) I personally believe technology has its pros and cons. Technology does make communication easier, but it can cause miss communication. Face to face is always the best while communicating. In today’s society many juveniles are glued to their cell phones as my own thirteen year old is. He would rather text me then to walk into the other room to talk to me. This causes lack of communication in a family. Teens will go to the internet for information that they should be getting from their parents. Technology can be wonderful when used with respect but can be disastrous when misused as many people do. Graham T.T. Molitor feels technology has affected families in many ways successfully. He has proposed computers and other devises have taking the place of personal assistants, as they can handle a vast growing range of activities. Molitor believes problems that once required armies of people working their entire lifetimes to solve now can...

There are three dimensions of business problems which are people, organization, and technology. They are much related in many ways to make a system perform properly. 1. People Dimension: People are the backbone of a company. Without knowledgeable, trained, and skilled employees to input information and maintain the information technology infrastructure, a company’s system will not perform efficiently. 2. Organization Dimension: Organizations are set up with a set infrastructure of several different levels of people from upper-level employees which are management, professional, and technicians, and the lower-level is made up of the operational personnel. There are also many different departments in an organization. Many times problems can occur from within the departments, such as if one department does not input information properly. Another problem that can exist in an organization is if network technician does not maintain the system properly the system will fail. 3. Technology Dimension: is a system made up of computer hardware, software, data management, and networks. With the use of technology all a company’s information is stored in one place, so that the information can be used and shared with other departments, such as management, payroll, human resources, and many others.

With the advantages of holding information on servers located all over the internet. Companies free up space on our own computers but are left vulnerable to security breaches. This paper will go in depth on how Cloud Computing will impact the Information technology industry. It will explain how the IT industry will expand the current technology to make business more profitable. This paper will answer the following three questions: 1) How will cloud computing affect security protocols?; 2) Is cloud computing a viable step forward for companies who do not want to hold their own IT servers in house?; 3) How will cloud computing affect companies in the future on who they begin to merge their own systems into the cloud? How secure is a company’s data that is held on a third party cloud server? What are the vulnerabilities of someone hacking into the server? Cloud Computing is an advanced IT model that hosts and shares both hardware and software over the internet. (DUTTA, A., GUO CHAO ALEX, P., & CHOUDHARY, A. (2013) pg. 1). One of the benefits of moving your mainframe and IT hardware to a third provider company is that the company unburdens itself from maintain a dedicated IT department without holding the actual computing sources in...

Technologies significantly affect human as well as other animal species' ability to control and adapt to their natural environments. The term can either be applied generally or to specific areas such as construction technology, medical technology, and information technology. Technology has affected society and its surroundings in a number of ways. In many societies, technology has helped develop more advanced economies which including today's global economy and has allowed the rise of a leisure class.
