INTRODUCTION:
SLIDE 8
The Information Technology Revolution is probably the most important force shaping communities today.
While some of the key forces behind the IT revolution are universal, the impacts on any given community
will be unique, depending on its individual make up, economic structure, attributes and responses.
Technology proves us with the ability to create, process and store information. It can also be said that the
world is experiencing a 'third industrial revolution'. This revolution is total, effecting all aspects of our lives.
It is a move from collective to individual.

There is a shift from industrialism (mass production) to informationalism (flexible production). Rather than
companies producing in huge volumes, they are beginning to adopt techniques, which customise products
for individual need. In the westernised industrial world, Castells believes that producers have moved away
from mass production to smaller volumes of individual needs. With the flexible forms of production in the
west, mass production shifts to the less developed world.

The Information technology revolution emerged in the west around the 1960-70's where the economic boom
was coming to a close. It was a new form of capitalism, which had moved the base of society, industry into
information. This new form of capitalism was not based on industrial products but it was based on the
application of information, it exploits the potential produced by the IT revolution especially things to be
networked. Castells refers to Weber and says that to understand capitalism we have to understand the culture
of capitalism.

The main feature of the information revolution is the growing economic, social and technological role
of information. Information-related activities did not come up with the Information Revolution. They
existed, in one form or the other, in all human societies, and eventually developed into institutions, such as
the Platonic Academy, Aristotle's Peripatetic school in the Lyceum, the Museum and the Library of
Alexandria, or the schools of Babylonian astronomy. The Agricultural Revolution and the Industrial
Revolution came up when new informational inputs were produced by individual innovators, or by scientific
and technical institutions. During the Information Revolution all these activities are experiencing continuous
growth, while other information-oriented activities are emerging.

SYNOPSIS:

The economic impact of the digital revolution has been large. Without the World Wide Web (WWW), for
example, globalization and outsourcing would not be nearly as feasible as they are today. The digital
revolution radically changed the way individuals and companies interact. Small regional companies were
suddenly given access to much larger markets. Concepts such as On-demand services and manufacturing and
rapidly dropping technology costs made possible innovations in all aspects of industry and everyday life.

If you were asked to name the top three events in the history of computer technology (or the history of what
came to be known as the IT industry), which ones would you choose?

June 30, 1945: John Von Neumann published the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC, the first
documented discussion of the stored program concept and the blueprint for computer architecture to
this day.
 May 22, 1973: Bob Metcalfe banged out the memo inventing Ethernet at Xerox XRX -4.33% Palo
Alto Research Center (PARC).
March 1989: Tim Berners-Lee circulated Information management: A proposal at CERN in
which he outlined a global hypertext system.

The next phase in the evolution of the industry, the next quantitative and qualitative leap in the amount of
data generated and how we use networked computers, came with the invention of the World Wide Web
(commonly mislabelled as the Internet). It led to the proliferation of new applications which were no
longer limited to enterprise-related activities but digitized almost any activity in our lives. Most important, it
provided us with tools that greatly facilitated the creation and sharing of information by anyone with access
to the Internet (the open and almost free wide area network only few people cared or knew about before the
invention of the World Wide Web). The work memo I typed on a typewriter which became a digital
document sent across the enterprise and beyond now became my life journal which I could discuss with
others, including people on the other side of the globe I have never met. While computer networks took IT
from the accounting department to all corners of the enterprise, the World Wide Web took IT to all corners of
the globe, connecting millions of people. Interactive conversations and sharing of information among these
millions replaced and augmented broadcasting and drastically increased (again) the amount of data created,
stored, moved, and consumed. And just as in the previous phase, a bunch of new players emerged, all of
them born on the Web, all of them regarding IT not as specific function responsible for running the
infrastructure but as the essence of their business, data and its analysis becoming their competitive edge.

CONCLUSION:
We are probably going to see soonand maybe already are experiencinga new phase in the evolution of
IT and a new quantitative and qualitative leap in the growth of data. The clouda new way to deliver IT, big
dataa new attitude towards data and its potential value, and The Internet of Thingsconnecting billions of
monitoring and measurement devices quantifying everything, combine to sketch for us the future of IT.
