It would be ungrateful on our part not to recognize how immense the boons are which modern technology has given to mankind.

2. What is information technology ?
It refers to application of
computers and telecommunication
equipment to
store,retrieve,transmit and
manipulate data such as
networking
,hardware,software,the INTERNET
or the people that work with these
technologies.
3. Definition of IT used in the
CYBER WORLD
The EXACT definition is “information technology”.
Information technology is the technology used to store, manipulate,
distribute or create information. The type of information or data is
not important to this definition. The technology is any mechanism
capable of processing this data.
4. What is a society??
Society can be defined as “a community, nation, or broad grouping of
people having common traditions, institutions, and collective activities and
interests.
Society and information technology are rapidly
co-evolving, and often in surprising ways .
Society and networked information technology
are changing one another . Becoming socialized
means learning what kinds of behaviour is
appropriate in a given social situation. The
increasing trend of digitizing and storing our
social and intellectual interactions opens the
door to new ways of gathering and synthesizing
information that was previously disconnected.
5. HOW IT & SOCIETY are LINKED??
In the past few decades there has been a revolution
in computing and communications, and
all indications are that technological progress and
use of information technology will continue
at a rapid pace. Accompanying and supporting the
dramatic increases in the power and use
of new information technologies has been the
declining cost of communications as a result of
both technological improvements and increased
competition.

telecommunications.

38. ADVANTAGES
The creation of new and interesting jobs.
LIKE FOR EXAMPLE- Computer
programmers, Systems analyzers, Hardware
and Software developers and Web designers
are just some of the many new employment
opportunities created with the help of IT.
Communication has also become cheaper,
quicker, and more efficient. EXAMPLE- . We
can now communicate with anyone around
the globe by simply text messaging them or
sending them an email for an almost
instantaneous response.
39. The internet has also opened up face to
face direct communication from different
parts of the world thanks to the helps of
video conferencing. One of the famous
program which is used for video
conferencing is Skype.

42. DISADVANTAGES
Besides the advantages that IT has, it also
comes with many disadvantages. Though
information technology has made
communication easier and more convenient,
it also left a bad site of it. .
43. . From cell phone signal interceptions to email
hacking, people are now worried about their
once private information becoming public
knowledge.
44. While information technology may have made the
world a global village, it has also contributed to one
culture dominating another weaker one. For example
it is now argued that US influences how most young
teenagers all over the world now act, dress and
behave.
45. While information technology may have
streamlined the business process it has
also crated job redundancies, downsizing
and outsourcing.
46. . IT has to be carefully manage so that the
disadvantages do not overcome he advantages. People
have to use Information the right way to make
maximum use out of it.
47. CONCLUSION
Pains & pleasures to be addicted to modern technology
It would be ungrateful on our part not to recognize how
immense the boons are which modern technology has given to
mankind. Can we think of living without computers, mobile
phones, electricity or modern methods of publishing? We all
know the impact of technology in medical science & education
system on us.
There was a time when diseases such as malaria, influenza & TB
were considered to be incurable. But now even some forms of
Cancer are curable. All this would not have been possible if it
were not for the progress made by medical science. The fact is
technology has contributed to significant improvements in other
areas like communication, travel, human living, global warming,
nuclear stockpiles etc.
48. The greatest technical inventions are those which have affected
the larger mass of people. The Internet, mobile phone,
automobile, rail travel, CT scan have made significant difference
to people’s lives. Technology has made our life easy, comfortable,
simple and luxurious. Technology is supporting human so much
that now a person can work from his home. It has helped a lot in
uniting people. In fact with the help of internet the world has just
turned in to a global village.
49. Yes, technology & scientific invention has its disadvantages also.
A car is a wonderful gift of technology to mankind. But a reckless
driver is capable of using it as a weapon of destruction. Television
is a mean of instruction & entertaining people but it is often used
as a channel false propaganda. Atomic energy provides a number
of wonderful uses to mankind. But again, certain destructive
minds plan to use atomic energy for destructive purpose.
50. Television & Computer Technology makes one lazy and obese.
We are unable to walk even for a short distance, because we
became so used to taking out our car even for a short distance.
But I feel that technology is more boon than bane. It’s up to us to
decide whether we can survive with or without technology or
not...
54. We have taken efforts in project. However, it would not have been
possible without the kind support and help of many individuals . We
would like to extend our sincere thanks to all of them.
We am highly indebted to (MR. RAKESH KUMAR) for his guidance and
constant supervision as well as for providing necessary information
regarding the project & also for their support in completing the
project.
We would like to express our gratitude towards each and every
member for their kind co-operation and encouragement which help
us in completion of this project.
My thanks and appreciations also go to my colleague in developing
the project and people who have willingly helped me out with their
abilities.
