IT professionals need interpersonal skills and Adaptability

Adaptability and interpersonal skills are important for an IT professional. first of all, as we know the technology are developed from time to time whereby it will be more and more better. for instance, when i was 7 years old, i used to play marbles, jump rope and many others. however, nowadays, children are able to play games by using phone, computers and many electronic games. so, in this case as IT professional should be flexible adapt themselves to change and develop new technology, so the customers will be happy and satisfied with them.

Furthermore, IT professional is agent of change whereby they are able to change the way we communicate. for instance, as an international students who are far from family, people can see and talk with their family by using Skype, yahoo Messenger and many others. likewise, IT professional also has important role for business nowadays because many people use technology as a media to sell their products. 

Likewise, IT professional need specialized knowledge and long and intensive academic preparation. however, they cannot work alone, they need others to help them. so, they need to interpersonal skills such as personality awareness, communication, conflict management, trust building and collaboration so that they can work more effective and efficient with others.

IT Future Trends in Education

Technology and education are related to each others whereby the technology is able to support teaching and learning process. as student, i can't deny that IT make learning more attractive and interesting. for instance, by using the projector, i can more focus and understand what lecturers explain in class. Furthermore, students can take their lesson or materials by using technology such as power campus, website and many others.

i think the numbers of people who use e-learning will be increased in the future. in fact, some of people have started this learning such as in Harvard University. The objective using eLearning is to make the contents of education available to audiences so that they can find experience courses, public lectures, and other unique examples of learning content on the web easily.  in my opinion, people will learn at home, they do not need to come to class. they can communicate to the lecturer by using video conferencing and others multimedia that can support they communicate from far. 

furthermore, audiences can get the course material through internet such as through video, audio and multimedia. people also can use streaming video in order to record live lectures. Additionally, students also can do the exams, do homework, do assignments and interact with lecturers and their friends inside class and outside class by using additional technology. so the process of teaching and learning will be easier.

Traditional Business & Digital Firm

According to to Anglefire, digital firms is for electronic commerce and electronic business in order to set their internal processes and relationships with customers, suppliers, and other external entities by using Internet technology. Furthermore. there are four principles move to digital firms are supply chain management systems, customer relationship management systems, enterprise systems, and knowledge management systems. the digital firm use technology is because  it  is able to mediate, and streamline its internal and external operations, the firm is more flexible, profitable, competitive, and efficient than a traditional firm.

For instance, the company that got many impacts of digital firm is Cemex. Cemex is sold cement and ready mix concrete products for a long time whereby it is around 98 year. Cemex used to run the business by using telephones in order to communicate with customers, truckers, and dispatchers. they spent a lot of money for it and sometimes the kines were jammed. likewise, Lorenzo Zambrano, who is the grandson of the founder, was built a System for to link Cemex delivery trucks to a Global Positioning System satellite which would assist dispatchers to monitor the location, direction and speed of every vehicle allowing this information to be efficient if there is last minute changes. the result of this is delivery time is much faster rather than by using telephones whereby from three hours to 20 minutes. furthermore, it provides providing them with cost savings on fuel, maintenance and personnel. Cemex also reduce the numbers of trucks to deliver the same amount of cement. they also use satellite communication that is called as CemexNet which electronically links all the firm’s production facilities and coordinates them from a central clearinghouse.additionally, dispatchers are able to know where they should send their products quickly. it shows that, digital firm is more effective and efficient rather than traditional businesses.

Semantic Web

Semantic Web is used to share content beyond the boundaries applications and websites by people. in fact, it has been described in many ways in our life  when we use the Websuch as  as utopic vison, web of data and natural paradigm shift. Furthermore, Web Document is used for create technology stack to support  a "Web of Data"that we find in databases.

Semantic Web can use to create data stores on the web. the purpose of Data web is to make the computers to do more useful work and to develop system that can support communication on the network. people can create vocabularies, and write rules for handling the data.

according to Wikipedia, the main purpose of semantic web is to help the users find, share and combine information easily. likewise, semantic web is a system that make machines more understand and respond to complex human request based on their meaning. for instance, an "understanding" requires that the relevant information sources be semantically structured.

Quantum Computing

According to Wikipedia, quantum computing is to perform operations on data by using computation device that use quantum mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement. furthermore, as stated by Bone. S (n.d.) the computer used to have bit numbers which were 0 and 1. however in quantum computer, it is not only quantum bit, but also qubit. if the processor is able to register through qubits, it will perform calculations by using all the values of the input registers simutaneously. it is called as quantum parallelism.

According to Mike (2009), there are advantages and disadvantages of quantum computing. the advantages of quantum computing are  much powerful, faster, smaller, improvement to science, and can improve on practical personal electronics. on the contrast, the disadvantages of quantum computing are hard to control quantum particles, lots of heat, expensive, difficult to build and not enough is known about quantum mechanics.

Grid computing

Grid computing has used by many organizations like business, university, and many others. actually, it is a form of distributed computing to handle the computer's long running computational tasks. according to BOINC grid computing differs from volunteer computing in several ways which is the computing resources are able to trust such as one can assume that the PCs don't return results that are intentionally wrong, and that they don't falsify credit.furthermore, it does not need for screensaver graphics and client deployment is typically automated.

As stated in Wikipedia, a grid computer is  grid computer is multiple number of same class of computers clustered together. it is able to connect by using  a super fast network and share the devices like disk drives, mass storage, printers and RAM Grid Computing. Grid computing is to reach a common goal and to solve a single task by join the computers that are from multiple administrative domains.

the grid computing is applied for  computationally intensive scientific, mathematical, and academic problems through volunteer computing. likewise, commercial enterprises also use the grid computing  such as drug discovery, economic forecasting, seismic analysis, etc.

Nanotechnology

Hi blogger... i am sorry i could not share anything to for one month. i was busy because i had many assignments that always came after one and another. furthermore, the connection was really bad too... :(

do you hear about nanotechnology before?

according to center responsible nanotechnology (2002), nanotechnology is the engineering of functional system on an atomic and molecular scale. it is also used techniques and tools in order to constructs items from the bottom to up.

furthermore,  based on Wikipedia (2013), scientists currently debate regarding the  future implications of nanotechnology. in this case, there are advantages and disadvantages of nanotechnology. the advantages might be able to make many new materials and devices with huge range of applications like in medicine, electronics, bio-materials, and energy production. however, it can raise other issue such as toxicity and environmental impacts of nano materials.

likewise, as described by the U.S. National Nanotechnology who is Mihail (Mike) Roco, nano technology has  four generation. First generation is for a passive nano-structures to perform one task, second generation is for multitasking such as actuators, drug delivery services and sensors, third generation would interact with thousands component in 2010. lastly, it is expected to be developed.
here is the chart of nano generations:

 overall, nano is general purpose of technology that was written by center responsible nanotechnology,"Nanotechnology is sometimes referred to as general purpose technology. That is because in its advanced form it will have significant impact on almost all industries and all areas of society. it will offer better built, longer lasting, cleaner, safer and smarter products for the home, communication, medicine, transportation, agriculture and for industry in general."
