Do any of you understand the descriptions given by companies to their mobile phones? Actually, I never have understood and even managed to learn the name that has my cell phone. I prefer to meet their physical and I’m content with that. But for those who do master the names of the phones, I commented that Nokia will have letters in order to be known only by numbers.

Why would serve this change in the way of naming the Nokia mobile? For me, there would be no change in the end Nokia phones will remain regardless of the name that accompanies them. Well, apparently it is necessary to simplify the names only numbers for users and prospective customers have a better idea of ??the mobile which have or are about to buy.

For example, and I share this with people who are as clueless as I, with this new naming system from Nokia, the first number that appears in the name of a mobile is linked to the price of the product, while the other two numbers others highlight a unique feature of the phone. This also gives you the opportunity to present its model Nokia Nokia 500 with 99 new features, and not have to look for new names, because you can simply put a Nokia 509, Nokia 512, and so on until reaching the top 99.

Finally, I leave you with the reasons given by Nokia to set aside letters and numbers only choose when naming their teams:

Do not tell us what to do with our mobiles: Today, many phones are adaptable to various software and hardware, which means you can do a lot of things with them, without being announced for a given task. The ratings of Nokia were indicators, but often not related to what people did with their phones.

Difficult to compare: How to differentiate the C7 Nokia Nokia X7, or Nokia Nokia C3 C3-01. Which one is more expensive than the other?
People feel good about the numbers: Consumers understand the logic behind the philosophy of “the bigger the number, the more you get.” Moreover, as is a system used consistently over time, people learn to recognize roughly what to expect from a model cell using as a reference number that has a name.

Anyway, for me, will always be equal, numbers or letters, I will eventually get to know by what I see outside. That is, color, keyboard, screen ..

Companies that develop high levels of agility not only survive this economic turbulence, but also will be the leaders of tomorrow’s markets.

Today’s organizations must identify the change and respond to it swiftly in order to remain a viable option in the market. The ability to detect, anticipate and respond to changes more quickly will provide organizations set strategic direction for:
Respond to changing market conditions.
Increase its market share even in economies that characterize hard as our new reality
Increase sales growth and profitability and improve overall financial performance

Agility is characterized by a cycle, which comprises a series of five steps:
- Detect lies ahead or need a change
- Planning the best action
- Decide on the course to follow
- Communicate to all key participants in the new plan,
- Press for Change.

These five steps are sequential and are executed every time there is a change in the business landscape. The cycle occurs in all levels of the organization on an ongoing basis.
How to facilitate agility in the organization? Technology is the common denominator of all five. It is not the case that only some technologies provide flexibility, but each organization will have a different agenda management challenges and unique architectural footprint that will require different strategies of using technology to support and improve agility. This may represent from a small correction to a strategic reorientation of the company.

In the context of information technology is of interest to measure the agility of a company making a benchmark to compare with similar companies. Eventually provide prescriptive measures to optimize investments in information technology from the objective of maximizing agility.
There are four key attributes that have to meet any investment in information technology to generaragilidad for business:

First, a solution of information technology has to ensure that business operations are reported. You must connect data devices and processes both internally and externally so that people can access information from anywhere and more usefulness;
second, the technology has to turn the company into a more productive by leveraging also systems to support processes and thereby enable the business to multiply the power and impact of its technology and its people.

The technology must be reliable, always available, always working safely and always ready, but AT THE SAME TIME must be flexible to adapt according to changing business needs
finally, technology must provide all of this based on a clear concept and aimed at the best cost / benefit. The consistent application of cost-benefit measurements allows real information about the return on investment.

Any solution of information technology must comply with each of these points to maximize every dollar invested and ultimately generate business agility
Each of the criteria have equal weight and importance to an organization in pursuit of the goal of agility. Developing a framework, it is possible to measure the state of agility in an organization, identify weaknesses and suggest practical solutions so the organization can implement concrete actions to improve their agility and competitiveness portended.

The information technology and communication are a part of the emerging technologies that usually tend to identify with the acronym ICT and refer to the use of computerized systems to store, process and disseminate any information or educational training process.
Over the years, ICTs have evolved to meet human needs and highlighting the television and radio.
Societies today are characterized by diverse and abundant flow of information and communication. In a century we have gone from radio equipment that allowed us to hear voices of remote environments, the black and white film, color, special effects and computer-created characters, of the nearly first TV images showed the landing a man on the immediacy of news and images of world events.
ICTs are mainly characterized by their intangibility (possibility of scanning), immediacy and multimedia applications. They have brought great benefits especially in education but in turn if not given proper use, will find disadvantages.

Therefore, currently the use of information technologies and communication in adolescents is a matter of concern, debate and reflection for many authors, both nationally and internationally. But this concern has not yet been translated into a systematic and organized effort to implement relevant activities for the appropriate use of technology by teens.
For example, one of the major concerns for both educators and the family, about the relationships of adolescents with ICT, is the possibility that appear addictive behaviors that can disrupt personal and social development in the adolescents. The media are the first to emphasize these cases, although there can not be generalized.
You could say that what defines the addictive behavior is the frequency with which this is done; it is the loss of control of the person, and the establishment of a relationship of dependency.
In this regard, seven have been proposed to detect signs of Internet addiction:

* Spending several hours’ online, neglecting important aspects of your life.
* Friends and relatives think you have problems with using the Internet.
* Being young (the younger, more risk must be dependent on the Internet.)
* The use of the Internet creates serious negative consequences.
* You see his reliance on the Internet as a shy, intense activity.
* Keep secret the time you spend online.
* You can not go a day without the computer without connecting to the Internet.

In turn, indicates that this addiction leads to truancy and certain behaviors such as not complying with the schedules chat at all hours and allow interacting with their peers. This addiction is defined as follows: “Cell phone use becomes an addiction when it becomes a repetitive behavior that is pleasurable and creates a loss of control in the subject”

A related aspect of addiction is isolation. Often, the media reported about this effect, produced the use of ICT, particularly in adolescents. We deliver the image of the young alone, locked in his room and escaping from any social commitment to sit for many hours and connect to your computer. Isolation is a risk that reflects the degree of dependence that has every teenager.

On the other hand, the adolescent population and its environment may be affected because of the potential offered by ICT to get lots of information about its users, without being aware of it. The strategies are many: an apparently inoffensive forms or promotions via SMS to mobile are among the most common. Companies are able to easily pass the barrier between public and private, using the ingenuity of users.
Regarding the second problem, the advertising is not specifically distinct from other information in the contents that we deliver ICT. In this respect it is logical that if we study the composition of such web sites of brands and favorite products of adolescents, and advertising that reaches them through mobile phone, it is difficult to clearly differentiate between information and persuasion.
In addition, through the use of ICTs expand the social relations, but also get new features, which do not exist in the real level of interpersonal communication (face to face). In this regard, the influence of anonymity between the participants has been one of the most studied in relation to the personal identity of adolescents constructed in virtual environments.

Finally, there is talk that the issue of violence has been continually involved in video games. The observed high rate of violence in games has been severely criticized. Much of the publicity of these games is based on the violent aspect, noting that social learning theory posits the hypothesis that aggressive play games encourage aggressive behavior. For example, the children imitate or otherwise learn what they see on the screen.

In addition to acquiring and expanding access to information and communication technologies (ICTs), countries should assess and strengthen their ability to use these tools, according to a new study by the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).

Latin America and the Caribbean should improve the skills of its population, physical infrastructure and its institutions and its regulations, so that ICT can have a positive impact on development, the study concluded.

“With appropriate policies, governments can take full advantage of ICT tools to promote development. These technologies can improve the dissemination of information and help solve market failures, “said Alberto Chong, chief economist of the IDB and the study coordinator.”But it is important to note that, by itself, increased access to ICTs will not cause development. Countries should also focus on how to apply these tools. “

The book Connections development: the impact of new information technologies examines how ICTs have contributed to the success of 46 development projects in Latin America and the Caribbean in six areas: finance, health, institutions, education, poverty and environment. This study is the first in the region systematically applying rigorous statistical methods to measure how information and communication technologies had an impact on the results of the projects.

Based on randomized control trials and economic studies, researchers found that 39 percent of the reviewed projects benefited greatly from the adoption of new technologies, while others only partially or minimally benefited from the application of ICT.

The aging of the population, budget cuts, rising costs and staff shortages are some of the most important challenges facing health services in the EU.

To overcome them, the Commission urges EU governments to invest more in information technology and communications technology (ICT).

The doctors and nurses and hospitals already have several technological resources (web, secure data networks, wireless, and internet information services) that allow them to provide patients with better health services and more efficient, lower cost.

Significant benefits

some of the most successful technological applications can be seen this week in Budapest (Hungary) in the framework of the health week 2011 Ingles EU.

These include health data network in Denmark, which provides a quick and effective communication between patients, doctors and social workers. The streamlining of services has generated a cumulative savings of 1,400 million Euros.

For its part, the United Kingdom in 2008 eliminated 2.4 million unnecessary medical appointments and 1.2 million journeys by ambulance and emergency services interventions, thanks to an Internet service and a helpline.

In the Italian region of Lombardy, the telecardiology-enabling the remote examination of patients with heart problems, has enabled the reduction of hospital readmissions by 36% and outpatient visits by 12%.

Serving patients

Thanks to ICT, doctors have easy access to the records of their patients received before the results of laboratory tests and can send prescriptions directly to pharmacists.

A study funded by the EU in the Netherlands, the United Kingdom and Germany shows that the introduction of tale-home could increase the survival rate of patients by 15% and 26% reduction in the number of days they spend in the hospital.
