Information technology

EXERCISE 1

Read and translate the text. Fill in the blanks with suitable words which are given below the text, in the “word bank”.

Information technology (IT) is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer ___________", according to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA). ________ deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securelyretrieve______________.

Today, the term information has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the __________ has become very recognizable. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that ____________ from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of _________ systems. Information technology is _________to spread farther than the conventional __________ computer and network technology, and more into integrations of other technologies such as the use of _________ phones, televisions, automobiles, and more, which is increasing the demand for such jobs.

When computer and communications technologies are __________, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information technology is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information.

In recent days ABET and the ACM have collaborated to form accreditation and curriculum standards for degrees in Information ____________ as a distinct field of study separate from both Computer Science and Information Systems. SIGITE is the ACM working group for defining these standards. The Worldwide IT services __________ totalled $763 billion in 2009.

AUTOMATION AND MECHANIZATION

In so far as automation as automation replaces human muscle by mechanical power it continues a processof mechanization which began before the Industrial Revolution two centuries ago.

The first machines were notautomatic; they performed many physical tasks but they had to be operated and controlled by workers.

Butsemi-automatic machines were invented early in the history of mechanization; they were, for instance, the textilemachines and, later on, the lathes widely employed in engineering.

These machines performed automatically,once they were set and loaded, and they confined human operator to two kinds of work, the unskilledwork of loading and unloading, and the skilled work of setting and maintaining machines. Since then technicaldevelopment has been gradual and continuous.

They have greatly widened the range of operations that can beperformed automatically and they have mechanized some loading and unloading of machines.

Perhaps the bestand most recent example is the transfer- machine in engineering, it combines automatic machining with automatictransfer between operations, so that all loading and unloading is done mechanically except at the beginningand end of the line.

There have also been extensive developments in the handling of materials and componentsbetween processes and in the mechanical assembly of simple components.

АВТОМАТИЗАЦИЯ И МЕХАНИЗАЦИЯ

В том, насколько автоматизация, поскольку автоматизация заменяет человеческий мускул механической властью, это продолжает процесс механизации, которая началась перед Индустриальной Революцией два столетия назад.

Первые машины не были автоматические; они выполнили много физических задач, но они должны были использоваться и управляться рабочими.

Но полуавтоматические машины были изобретены рано в истории механизации; они были, например, текстильными машинами и, позже, токарные станки, широко используемые вразработке.

Эти машины выполнили автоматически, как только они были установлены и загружены, и они ограничили человеческий оператор к двум видам работы, работа низкойквалификации загрузки и разгрузки, и квалифицированной работы урегулирования и поддержания машин.

С тех пор техническое развитие было постепенно и непрерывно. Они очень расширили диапазон действий, которые могут быть выполнены автоматически, и они механизировали некоторую загрузку и разгрузку машин.

Возможно лучшее и самый недавний пример – передача – машина в разработке, это комбинирует автоматическую механическую обработку с автоматической передачей между действиями, так, чтобы вся загрузка и разгрузка была сделана механически кроме вначале и конец линии.

Также были обширные события в обработке материалов и компонентов между процессами и на механическом собрании простых компонентов.
