The 

information revolution that began in the 20th century has been driven in most part by a geometric
growth in the production of high-tech electronics, including components of computers, computer
peripherals, semiconductors, integrated circuits, printed circuit boards, video display equipment, audio
equipment, and household electronics [1,2]. Accelerated growth in the production, distribution, and
sales of information and communication technologies (ICTs) and other electronics since the mid-20th
century has contributed to the expansion of economies around the globe.

The information revolution has made big changes in many different aspects of our lives, and IT has made
many changes in businesses. Nowadays, the world is considered a village in which even faraway places
can communicate with each other within seconds. Information systems are also developing rapidly, and
new advances occur every day. These technologies have increased the efficiency of many processes, and
most businesses are so dependent on these processes that they cannot function properly without them.

One of the major developments to come out of the advances in computer and communication
technology was the creation of the internet, an innovation with effects on the economic and
social development of humanity that are still evolving and being assessed.
