Importance of Technology
-------------------------------------------------
INTRODUCTION
How important technology is? Is it necessary to make it a part of schools? Read on to know all about the importance of technology in schools.The information society challenges the education system. In recent years, the speedy, effective and global communication of knowledge has created a new foundation for co-operation and teamwork, both nationally and internationally. The increasing role played by information technology in the development of society calls for an active reaction to the challenges of the information society.
Already, new and greater demands are being made as to the core qualifications of individuals, as well as to their understanding and knowledge of the consequences of the introduction of information technology for the work and organisation of a company. Companies are no longer forced to gather all their functions in one place. The knowledge-intensive functions such as development and marketing can be sited in countries where the labour market can supply highly educated employees, whilst production itself can be moved to low wage countries. The result is the efficient handling, processing, co-ordination and administration of company resources, which is decisive for the competitiveness of the company.In a society which is becoming increasingly dependent on information and the processing of knowledge, great demands are therefore made that the individual should have a solid and broad educational foundation on which to build.
IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGY TO I.T STUDENTS
The importance of technology to I.T students is like the importance of mini bars to rock stars; the one can’t function without the other. The days of “hitting the books” have long since past. Now the only things most students are hitting are keys on their mobile device/laptop/iPod /etc. Whether you’re going to school in person or especially if you’re going to college online, technology is clutch.
That being said,
