Why does IT matter

Predicting the future is hard and risky
Predicting the future in computer industry is even harder and riskier
due to dramatic changes in technology and limitless challenges to
innovation.

Wikipedia describes as.

Cloud computing is internet-based computing in which large groups of remote servers are
networked to allow the centralized data storage, and online access to computer services or
resources. Clouds can be classified as public, private or hybrid.

Mobile computing is humancomputer interaction by which a computer is expected to be

transported during normal usage. Mobile computing involves mobile communication, mobile
hardware, and mobile software. Communication issues include ad hoc and infrastructure networks
as well as communication properties, protocols, data formats and concrete technologies. Hardware
includes mobile devices or device components. Mobile software deals with the characteristics and
requirements of mobile applications.

Social technology is defined as applying the use of social science theories and methods
implementing related technologies for specific purposes especially social ones: to ease social
procedures via social software and social hardware, which might include the use of computers and
information technology for governmental procedures, etc.

Big data is an all-encompassing term for any collection of data sets so large and complex that it
becomes difficult to process using traditional data processing applications.
The challenges include analysis, capture, curation, search, sharing, storage, transfer,
visualization, and privacy violations. The trend to larger data sets is due to the additional
information derivable from analysis of a single large set of related data, as compared to
separate smaller sets with the same total amount of data, allowing correlations to be found to
"spot business trends, prevent diseases, combat crime and so on."

Walking into a coffee shop in a foreign country and having the barista
offer up your favourite coffee because your preferences appeared on her
counter screen as you approached the shop

Security challenges - The combination of powerful

voice and facial recognition, massive identity
databases, and powerful tracking will likely result in a
new norm that potentially translates into a
significant loss of privacy
