First of all you need to know that computing is the science of automated information, everything that is related to the processing data, using computers and / or automatic processing equipment information.
By contrast with the incorporation of this technology, this work has been improved and simplified a lot, because as you can edit the text, make changes to information, increase or decrease the font, insert digital images, etc. Also allows you to save information and then be modified or reproduced.
currently between applications mentioned above has been given great applications in medicine, home, etc.
Within the medical informatics allows significant operations with respect to the area of \u200b\u200bhealth, such as an electrocardiogram, a sonogram, among other medical tests. On this field, the incorporation of this technology has been able to extend and save the lives of many people, improving their health.
is also used as a database intended to store information and perform other operations such as issuing commercial bills, invoices, collections, etc..
In business the use of this technology makes it possible to carry out banking transactions without visiting a financial entity, and also provides other business of buying and selling as issuing invoices, budgets quickly.
the same way as in other fields, here also used as a data recording system, which acts as a file, which previously could be done through shelves.
As the educational environment, the computer allows students to learn software through an interactive content to break with the tradition of using basically the board and the draft, in turn allowing inroads in learning computer technology .
As in these fields, computer technology has embraced the most varied applications in many cases is the daily in our society.
In medicine: Since its inception, the medicine is guided by symptoms and signs presented by the patient's body to determine the type of pathology with which they faced. At first, basically, was diagnosed by that to which could be accessed through the senses. With the advance of technology applied to medicine, developed increasingly complex devices, which provide the professional with a growing universe of information for diagnosis. With the application of computing to imaging methods such resources acquire the ability to refine, store, process and even shared with other users from the databases. Medical informatics is the application of computing and communications to the area of \u200b\u200bhealth, using medical software. Its main purpose is to serve health professionals to improve the quality of healthcare.
has application in all areas of medicine, as in clinical laboratories, electronic devices for measurement, image files, software, hospital management, shift management, medical records, patient databases, including others.
Therefore, medical informatics is a field welcomes multidisciplinary professionals in areas such as biomedicine, various engineering and the Computer Systems, Telecommunications, Electronics, administration and management, etc.
Some of the most popular applications of this field of data found in medical imaging, telemedicine, hospital management systems and electronic medical record.
Health informatics or medical informatics is the intersection of information science, computer science and health care. It deals with resources, devices and methods required to optimize the acquisition, storage, retrieval and use of information in health and biomedicine.
The health informatics tools include not only computers but also clinical guidelines, formal medical terminology, and information and communication systems.
In education:
The impact of new technologies also extends to education, and especially in this area where most technical means should be employed to date and able to improve the quality of teaching.
At a basic level it comes to promoting a reduction computer illiteracy of so-called radical, for which should be promoted access to information technologies of the boys from impoverished households.
should also be noted that teach the proper use of computers and the Internet can lay a stronger foundation for our young people can access the most current knowledge and to then participate in a better position in the production process innovations.
To this end, it will be important to the realization of projects such as the purchase of notebooks announced by the Ministry of Education to distribute massively in schools. It would be between half a million to one million units, each of which would cost at least U.S. $ 100 under an initiative Massachussets.Además Institute of Technology to provide a generalized way computers to schools and students must strengthen training of teachers, as there is still resistance to technological innovation and ignorance about how you can use these tools in the clases.Se should try to go outlining the classroom model is needed in our time and for education also can help young people socially relegated to enter the world of new technologies. The
impact of new technologies also extends to education, and especially in this area where most technical means should be employed to date and able to improve the quality of teaching.
domestic Computers:
The current home computing began in the late 70's when Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak built the first Apple drive I (giving rise to the legend Apple) in the garage of the house of the parents of Jobs in Cupertino (California).
A first time home computers were directed toward the use of video games and word processing. Were quickly adopted by schools and offices, especially since 1981 where he began the competition for market supremacy and Apple microcomputer PC.Podemos consider the second half of the 80 as the time of diffusion of home computing era that the use of a computer began to lose its magical connotations to start adopting the letter of the nature of an instrument cotidiano.Durante this period computer adoption rates were similar to those obtained in the 50's on TV in black and black (60 'in our country) or the 60 for the color TV (70 in our country).
The adoption of a computer at home.
The social status is one of the main variables that influence the introduction into the home of a personal computer. Over time the critical values \u200b\u200bthat determined the status has been upgraded to the floor, until the present day where the weight of this variable is relative, reaching full popularization.
The research related variables such as income level, educational level and professional activity as elements related to the introduction of computer technology in the home. However we must consider how are you variables are more related to the innovative nature of the early years of home computing with its merits.
personal characteristics. (Demographic and attitudinal variables).
Most investigations agree in pointing as the individuals most likely to take micro-technology in their daily activities were initially, those who were aged between 30 and 45 years, outstripping even the younger individuals. Gradually the age of users has tended to decrease.
This is probably related to the fact that the decision to buy a computer still belongs to parents, children influence the purchase of video game consoles. This situation allows enthusiastic interest of the children can easily be blocked by the parental disinterest.
remember how at the time of the nanocomputer there was a greater public role of child and adolescent case of machines which are often conceptualized as toys.
Subjects introduce a computer at home are usually higher interest rates and more favorable attitudes toward science and technology. This explains why most individuals who purchase a computer (about 70%) do not consider a specific use, based solely on the opportunity to learn more about new technologies.
This occurs essentially between those who adopt computer technology so early (as either innovation or age) and its profile is generally characterized by less time spent TV and social activities in favor of time spent on solitary activities. Also tend to participate less in sport, usually sleeping fewer hours. Finally it should be mentioned as typically involve subjects who have taken other individual technologies such as calculators, PDAs and video games.
The use of a computer at home is a form of behavior determined by social, labor and computer around the individual, both in the home and outside it. Networks of social relations are especially important in the acceptance of any innovation and information staff is not an exception. This included the organization of the firms selling Apple products, which provide additional value to a range of services more typical of a group of friends.
From the labor point of view here is the computer users at home, are more likely to adopt this technology in their work, which seems particularly evident among children and in relation to school.
There
other technical explanations underlying the attraction of personal computers among its users. It is clear that computers are more attractive than TV because of its interactive nature.
We can establish three characteristics that put the computer into a plane of clear difference from the traditional media:
"
Interactivity: Computers are the only communication medium capable of sustaining a conversation with an individual an almost natural.
"
demassification: You can exchange messages individually to a hypothetical large audience (one email address can be private, you can refer to all those individuals who meet certain characteristic or be totally public) .
"
Asynchronous: Messages can be received at the time the user wants, without any difference to the reception at another time (not the same as receiving a phone call to a message on an answering machine), making independent schedules.
Some argue that the intrinsic difficulty surrounding a computer and the need to learn to use it can be a barrier to some subjects. This situation is influenced by certain features of the software and hardware that can facilitate or inhibit the use of computers.
Among the features that favor the use of computers we can highlight the attractiveness and user-friendly and design programs that reward the above intuitive aspect of prior learning (think of the difficulty of using a word processor based in statements like Wordstar, compared with current processors based on a graphical user interface, menus and buttons.) On this issue include the emergence of Windows (from version 3) and later Windows 95 has made the ultimate accolade to easy, especially intuitive. Today is not defensible, technically or economically, maintenance of computer systems based exclusively textual, although it is easy to find, even today in all types of work environments.
However we must not forget that learning is still required prior to using any computer, which gradually becomes less formal to focus predominantly on abstract concepts.
There are two cardinal dimensions that define the pattern of using a home computer:
"Amount of time spent
" Diversity of uses. As expected
making progress towards the extension of the number of different uses, which will mean an increase in total time of computer use. Thus a computer can become a home for one of its members want to play games, leading progressively to different uses (programming, communications, household chores, etc..) Either by the same individual as the fact that they tend added new media to the family context. This type of progression often leads couples the purchase of new software or peripherals.
Another development more limited and less frequent is the limitation to a practical use from the moment that the phenomenon of novelty longer be relevant.
The social impact of home computers.
Only three of the six categories that have divided the social impact of home computing have broad support in terms of research, learning and education, leisure and homework are the aspects that have received more attention by researchers, despite a handful of studies have highlighted impacts in areas such as family functioning, household chores and privacy, civil liberties and property rights.
Different studies confirmed as the time spent studying and the interest of children in doing homework at home increases when we introduce the use of computers. Other authors believe that this phenomenon is linked to the fact that parents who decide to use a computer have higher educational levels than those who do not, reinforcing a trend in relation to the education of the children they already existed.
is in the item relating to entertainment where the impact of home computing is more evident. Many users recognize the acquisition of personal computers has dropped considerably the time spent watching television.
