What product is shown in the picture? Probably your answer is “digital camera”, which indicates that possibly you were born before 1986 or thereabouts. That is, you are a “digital immigrant”, a person who has had to adapt to technology and not assumed to be “natural” life. It’s the people who once waited several days to reveal rolls of photos that captured special moments in your life.

Book sales in decline, big bookstores like Borders and Barnes & Noble are heading to the story. Amazon say that, although the only books represent 45% of its sales. No time to read a book. Just as there is for a post on a blog. We are in a hurry, we have little time. However, the sale of eBooks does not cover the fall of books.

If you ask a “digital native” What are the information systems that are sure to answer something that people use from 9 am to 5 pm, which are slow, heavy and dull. Instead, technology is used after hours, using the Internet, digital games (the little word here again), chatting with his Blackberry, using your Smartphone with Foursquare or snooping into social networks. Here everything is colorful, fast, with photos, such as “normal” things. Is this good or bad? Maybe that’s not the right question that leads us to take a position. It is a reality.

Depending on your age, most readers of this post should belong to Generation X or Y (and the occasional Baby Boomer). Interact with Generation Y (those born between 1982 and 1992 defined cohort in the U.S.) and is challenging: they are people looking for short-term rewards, like to have their ideas heard, accepted and implemented without much rodeo, were raised under what is called the “niñocracia”, where parents, perhaps overwhelmed by the guilt of not having enough time to spend with their children, perhaps escaping the ghost of a childhood surrounded by scarcity (or hippie parents), gave their children very, very carefully, and yielded to the temptation to “give everything.” When it was be great, felt that they deserved it. This subject is a case study in Harvard University.

And those born after 1992? These belong to the so-called Generation M (Millennium or Mobile). 100% digital natives, 100% infotainment. We are in the business of infotainment, not in the business of information technology. We do not provide information but experiences “normal” use of technology. And it’s not technology, is entertainment. New forms of learning are those, new ways to reach the heart (limbic brain) to achieve our goals. If education does not involve entertainment, is lost.

Currently the Information Technology and Communication ICT are undergoing rapid development, this is affecting virtually all areas of our society, and education is no exception.

This work is of interest that the ICT-Education interaction has aroused worldwide. Education International conference “Education for All for Learning to Live Together (CIE, 2001) held in Geneva in 2001 expressed in relation to Information Technology and Communication (ICT).

These technologies are increasingly a necessity in the context of society where rapid change, increased knowledge and the demands of a high standard of education constantly updated become a permanent requirement.

The relationship between ICTs and education is twofold: On one hand, citizens are forced to meet and learn about ICT. Furthermore, ICT can be applied to the educational process.

This dual aspect is reflected in two different educational expectations: on the one hand, we have computer scientists interested in learning computers, and in the other, teachers interested in using information technology to education.

Throughout the development of this work will be addressing the issues that we believe are important to know the information technology and communication and its use as a tool to strengthen the development of education.

I’ve never read anything on an iPad, but I imagine many of you have done so. The large number of books available for the tablets is very diverse, and now the universe of securities is further enhanced, thanks to the British Library offers.

With just download an application launched by the British Library, we will be able to read our iPads over 45,000 classics. The application is called Historical 19th Century British Library Access, and was created in conjunction with the software company Bibliolabs. With this application, authors like Mary Shelley, Charles Dickens, Daniel Defoe and many more, as well as travel documents of Victorian poetry and scientific texts can be read and enjoyed from the iPad.

Also, do not think that these digital books are like common because it is not, as they have been designed to give the impression of reading each of the titles as they are in their original format. That is, the design recreates the texture, color and shape of an old book. All it would take would be the smell of paper.

“We launched a trial run in June, and we were completely overwhelmed by the great response we got … was phenomenal,” said Samantha Tillett, prodcut development manager at the British Library.

The collection of classic books for iPad will expand to 60,000 by year-end titles, and not only present nineteenth century books, but also of the eighteenth century, in French, Spanish, Portuguese and Dutch. A great opportunity to read great classics.

The challenges that are presented to the professional media, they see that the operational skills and technical skills especially in relation to information technology and communication will not be the unique strengths in the near future, because at this point we are in coexistence and interaction with other professionals associated with these technologies (designers, computer scientists and engineers) so it should repower the production of content for new digital media, hypermedia and virtual, as in the management of equipment and software, not the factor ensure that this professional space in the new professions.

The information technology and communications are opening up new fields of the communicator but not displace traditional areas in the mass media, they do pose a distribution of tasks and a reclassification of functions.

In this process of conversion of the profession is necessary to reflect the social nature, ethics and intellectual it to resize it is and has been until now and to rescue the communicator’s role in consolidating democracy, development and social justice.

If the profession has been considered an art, a craft, a science, we should ask what is the central element that remains one of the most attractive offers future professionals. Is it a case that more than a profession with a defined exercise is a lifestyle that cuts across not only to its practitioners if not all the spaces of modern life? Could it be that the profession has been mythologized in relation to its link with the sectors of power and social influence? Is that what prevails is really the potential of communications to guide honestly and responsibly, reduce uncertainty and make sense of the reality that surrounds us every day and that quickly changed? Or is this profession is increasingly called upon to play a central role in change and social change to come?.

Although there is no certain answer, conclusive for each of these questions. It is true that a holistic view of the new media professions require open spaces other than the reporter, journalistic writing, media design under classical forms and traditional public relations, which coexist in complement with different processes to create information products , drawn electronically from different sources of information queries as at present. (Databases, videoconferencing, internet, etc.). Sometimes published and distributed by the same professional that produced through processes of self independent practice.

Much has been said of the NFC or Near Field Comunnication, for its acronym in English. Communication technology is a wireless short range will mainly make payments from your mobile phone in various centers such as supermarkets or shops of all kinds.

While this type of technology is nothing new in countries like Japan, the European countries will be a reality soon. In fact, most of the new generation mobile phones will have this technology. In this way, and when all the system is crowded it will be possible without our credit cards because all the information from our bank account in on-chip mobile phone.

Thus, by simply waving your mobile phone to the receiver, will detect our bank information and can make the transaction.

While many doubt their safety, being a short-range technology is really difficult for someone to steal information. Moreover, like conventional debit cards will require a password to perform operations. And if you lose or that someone stole our phone, the procedure would be the same if it happened with a credit or debit card, and should contact our issuing bank for cancellation of the chip and that no fraudulent use.

It is necessary to provide that information technology (IT) is defined as “the tools and methods used to collect, retain, handle or distribute information. The information technology is usually associated with computers and related technologies applied to decision making.

Information technology (IT) is changing the traditional way of doing things, people who work in government, private companies, that direct personal or professional working in any field of IT used daily by using Internet, Credit cards, electronic payment of payroll, among other functions, that is why the role of IT in business processes such as manufacturing and sales have expanded greatly. The first generation of computers was designed to keep records and monitor the operational performance of the company, but the information was not timely because the analysis obtained on a given day actually described what had happened a week earlier. The current developments make it possible to capture and use the information when it is generated, i.e., have online processes. This has not only changed the way we do the work and the workplace but has had a major impact on the way in which firms compete (Alter, 1999).

Efficiently use information technology can gain a competitive advantage, but we need to find successful procedures for maintaining such advantages as a constant, and to provide alternative courses of action and resources to suit the needs of the moment, because the benefits do not always are permanent. The information system must be modified and updated regularly if you want to receive continuous competitive advantages. The creative use of information technology can provide administrators a new tool to differentiate human resources, products and / or services in respect of its competitors (Alter, 1999). This type of competitive pre-eminence can bring another group of strategies, such as a flexible and standards in time, capable of producing a wider variety of products at a lower price and in less time than the competition.

Information technologies are a tool increasingly important in business, but to implement a system company information does not guarantee that it gets results so immediate or long term. In the implementation of information system involves many factors being one of the main human factors. It is expected to change in a situation of staff be reluctant to adopt new procedures or develop them fully and in accordance with the guidelines that were established. From the above it is necessary to take into strategic planning account present and future needs of the company. Just as a preliminary investigation and feasibility study of the project that you want.
