Information Is The Backbone Of Today's Society

The Information Age, also known as the Digital/Tech Revolution is the third major revolution in the history of human civilization. This period in history is filled with modern technology that has advanced humanity in some form through a new-found ease in information sharing. Whether it’s through computers, cell phones, cable, digital photography, or another form of technology this season of time is continuing to have a major impact on the way individuals share with one another. The different aspects that make up this current period of time are quite extensive. From what influenced the creation of this revolution to what has been affected by the Information Age are all important in understanding what the Digital/Tech Revolution is.

It will create a clear purpose of the database and each one of the tables within making maintenance easy to perform on weekly basis and security breaches easy to spot. The quick and efficient accessibility of the data will improve timing in business reporting turnaround and therefor increase sales and profit by quick and easy business response to market changes. Security concerns will be limited by creating admin account that can control and modify the system and users that can access it without any system modifications allowed. Main server and system will be backed up on an external drive and supported by external power source so no data will be lost if database is not

This must be in your own words and not copied and pasted from the original source. Include the purpose of the database and the subject matter it covers. This may be four or five sentences; and

atabase is a collection of data which describes the activities of one or more organizations in a well-defined structure and the structure of a database is specific and it has a purpose. Database Management System (DBMS) is used to control or organize the data in a database. Database Management System (DBMS) is also used for maintaining large collections of data. Distributed database can be defined as a collection of various databases which can be stored at different computer network locations. In this paper we discuss about Distributed Databases, their advantages and disadvantages.

The assignment required that we provide students with learning activities that empower them to integrate information literacy and technology. This project enabled my partners and I to provide students with opportunities to use digital tools to gather, evaluate, and use information accessed from a variety of sources available, empowering them to perform independent searches in future research projects. My partners and I formulated a lesson to teach students different strategies to locate the desired information in the school databases. In doing so, students will acquire the necessary technology skills that will help them fulfill their learning

Data and information management is a huge growth area. But it's not just data management creating new job opportunities, its gathering, analyzing, storing and securing the data as well.

Information Literacy: Ability to receive and send information correctly and appropriately; by determining where the information can be found, who the information should be received by, and how this information can benefit or harm the desired outcome. Having the trait of being informationally literate means one has no challenge communicating ideas, thoughts, desires, and facts with one's audience in such a way that is easy to understand and informative. Being informationally literate requires one to present information in a legal and principled manner. Lastly, these individuals can portray information differently based on the recipient in order to provide the clearest understanding of the material.

A database is used to store collections of information and easily retrieved at a later date. The larger the amount of information, the more organized a database needs to be. A database is created with the requirements and needs of current and future users and most importantly, with past users and their information. Out book defines database systems as “an organization of components that define and regulate the collection, storage, management, and use of data within a database environment”. (Database Systems, 2013)

Databases are everywhere now and impact our lives in a multitude of ways. It can accurately be said that “your life is in a database” or, more accurately, in multiple databases, and information about you (a retrieval of facts about

As we’ve moved further into the twenty-first century, our world and society has been immersed into the digital world. With this digitization of our culture we have created a new resource, data. Data has become king in the Age of Intelligence, it fuels most of what technology companies use to make money. Companies like Google, Facebook, Amazon, ect. have leveraged their vast amounts of data generated by the millions of internet users to better advertise and attract more users. Surprisingly most of this data collection is created and aggregated unbeknownst to the users. This is where the problems start to show themselves. When users are generating 2.5 quintillion bytes of data each day, as estimated by IBM,(https://www-01.ibm.com/software/data/bigdata/what-is-big-data.html),

Databases are normally used by businesses and schools to store their data. These databases are kept secure, and users can only access the information stored on the database they have been granted access to. Now data is added to, accessed, or remove from a database using languages such as SQL (Structured Query Language), MYSQL (My Sequel), etc.

Heterogeneity, scale, timeliness, complexity, and privacy problems with Big Data impede progress at all phases of the pipeline that can create value from data. The problems start right away during data acquisition, when the data tsunami requires us to make decisions, currently in an ad hoc manner, about what data to keep and what to discard, and how to store what we keep reliably with the right metadata. Much data today is not natively in structured format; for example, tweets and blogs are weakly structured pieces of text, while images and video are structured for storage and display, but not for semantic content and search: transforming such content into a structured format for later analysis is a major challenge. We will find out a way how structured big data can be transformed into unstructured data to increase the performance. Storage price trends have shown that now a days it’s not a big deal to afford storage for big un structured data. As far as performance is concerned, big data manageability in terms of unstructured data is more efficient. So as far as revenue is concerned this research will provide

According to Toffler (1980), the word was shaped by three unstoppable technological revolution. The first was the agricultural revolution and the second the Industrial Revolution. The third is the information revolution that brought the earth-shaking changes to our society and give a gorgeous brushstroke to people 's colorful life. In mid-15th century, people did not have access to mobile phone and internet, they can only write letter to transmit their miss (Toulet, 1995). With the development of technology and the appearance of internet, one of the 20th century 's greatest scientific and technological inventions,  we are in the information age and the knowledge is changing quickly (May, 2002:4). People can enjoy the convenient brought by technology in information. For example, people can communicate with their friends through mobile phone and internet regardless of how far away. In 2013, the number of internet users reached 3 billion (Internetworldstats, 2014). The technology that is a double sword has brought convenience to us, simultaneously has also brought privacy problems. In the first part of this essay, we will discuss the development and the definition of the information society. In second part of this essay we will consider benefits that come with the information age from economic, communication, risks recognization, politics and surveillance aspects. Moreover, the privacy problems and the

Databases allow companies to store virtually any type of data. They have high speed and low cost. Computer reports for job statistics along with automatic updates allow for increased speed and efficiency. And now, small business owners can use the cloud for database functionality.

Data has always been analyzed within companies and used to help benefit the future of businesses. However, the evolution of how the data stored, combined, analyzed and used to predict the pattern and tendencies of consumers has evolved as technology has seen numerous advancements throughout the past century. In the 1900s databases began as “computer hard disks” and in 1965, after many other discoveries including voice recognition, “the US Government plans the world’s first data center to store 742 million tax returns and 175 million sets of fingerprints on magnetic tape.” The evolution of data and how it evolved into forming large databases continues in 1991 when the internet began to pop up and “digital storage became more cost effective than paper. And with the constant increase of the data supplied digitally, Hadoop was created in 2005 and from that point forward there was “14.7 Exabytes of new information are produced this year" and this number is rapidly increasing with a lot of mobile devices the people in our society have today (Marr). The evolution of the internet and then the expansion of the number of mobile devices society has access to today led data to evolve and companies now need large central Database management systems in order to run an efficient and a successful business.
