If you are interested in the latest innovations and technologies, you're in the right place! The department offers a wide range of information technology courses, including networks and storage hardware as well as social media and computers. Courses in predictive analytics and data mining are also offered by the department. Students will be able to understand the current business trends and how information technology impacts business. To keep abreast industry trends, faculty members also conduct cutting edge research.
Information technology
There are four kinds of information technologies. These include sensing, storage, and transmission. Sensing converts real-world information to digital data. Storage and Transfer move data from one area to the next. Processing is the process of using data in automated ways. These categories of information technology are crucial to protecting your privacy. Knowledge of the technologies is necessary to formulate rules for their use and to protect yourself and your family. Information technologies are advancing faster than ever, and the future holds tremendous potential for privacy protection.
Computers
Computers and information technologies are transforming how we learn and work. The first computer was considered to be the Antikythera mechanism, which dates back to the first century BC. Information technology innovations had revolutionized the world by the beginning of the 21st century. In 2002, the United States saw e-commerce generate $289 billion in sales. Computers today have become more sophisticated than ever. Data was represented by punched tapes when computers first appeared. Computers are capable of showing data in a similar way to the human mind.
Networks
Computer networks enable interconnection of computers. There are many types of computer networks, including the wide area network and the local network. These networks are used by a variety of applications like banking online, playing multi-player video games, and surfing on the internet. These applications wouldn't exist without a network. This article will talk about the differences in LANs andWANs and provide examples.
Storage hardware
Data storage is required by computers to run programs and save files. A storage device is the place where files are stored and the operating systems are kept. Technology has made storage devices more flexible and improved over time. They can be used locally or shared across many servers. Digital storage is measured by megabytes and gigabytes. These devices store information in different formats. Additionally, telecom equipment connects various components of a storage unit.
Cloud computing
In the context information technologies, cloud computing is a grouping of resources and services that can be used to perform a task or provide service. These services, also known as cloud computing, can be composed of one virtual server, multiple cloned or physical servers, storage and security systems. Cloud computing is a way to extend and build on existing trends. The resulting technologies, services and technologies are changing the business application development process.
FAQ
How does AI work?
An algorithm is an instruction set that tells a computer how solves a problem. An algorithm can be described as a sequence of steps. Each step must be executed according to a specific condition. A computer executes each instructions sequentially until all conditions can be met. This continues until the final results are achieved.
Let's say, for instance, you want to find 5. If you wanted to find the square root of 5, you could write down every number from 1 through 10. Then calculate the square root and take the average. That's not really practical, though, so instead, you could write down the following formula:
sqrt(x) x^0.5
This means that you need to square your input, divide it with 2, and multiply it by 0.5.
Computers follow the same principles. It takes the input and divides it. Then, it multiplies that number by 0.5. Finally, it outputs its answer.
Where did AI come from?
Artificial intelligence was created in 1950 by Alan Turing, who suggested a test for intelligent machines. He suggested that machines would be considered intelligent if they could fool people into believing they were speaking to another human.
John McCarthy wrote an essay called "Can Machines Thinking?". He later took up this idea. in 1956. He described the difficulties faced by AI researchers and offered some solutions.
Is Alexa an Artificial Intelligence?
The answer is yes. But not quite yet.
Alexa is a cloud-based voice service developed by Amazon. It allows users speak to interact with other devices.
The Echo smart speaker first introduced Alexa's technology. However, similar technologies have been used by other companies to create their own version of Alexa.
These include Google Home as well as Apple's Siri and Microsoft Cortana.
What is the most recent AI invention?
The latest AI invention is called "Deep Learning." Deep learning is an artificial intelligence technique that uses neural networks (a type of machine learning) to perform tasks such as image recognition, speech recognition, language translation, and natural language processing. Google invented it in 2012.
Google's most recent use of deep learning was to create a program that could write its own code. This was achieved using "Google Brain," a neural network that was trained from a large amount of data gleaned from YouTube videos.
This allowed the system to learn how to write programs for itself.
IBM announced in 2015 they had created a computer program that could create music. Also, neural networks can be used to create music. These networks are also known as NN-FM (neural networks to music).
How does AI impact the workplace
It will change how we work. We'll be able to automate repetitive jobs and free employees to focus on higher-value activities.
It will help improve customer service as well as assist businesses in delivering better products.
It will enable us to forecast future trends and identify opportunities.
It will give organizations a competitive edge over their competition.
Companies that fail AI adoption will be left behind.
Which industries use AI the most?
The automotive industry is among the first adopters of AI. BMW AG uses AI for diagnosing car problems, Ford Motor Company uses AI for self-driving vehicles, and General Motors uses AI in order to power its autonomous vehicle fleet.
Other AI industries are banking, insurance and healthcare.
