Keeping Global Knowledge Flowing Requires Graduates Of IT Courses

By Frank Hayes


There is no question that the age of a digital sea of change and its subsequent information technology tidal wave has transformed the concept of the marketplace. Not only has the exchange of goods and capital been recreated, but every aspect of every business enterprise is now deeply affected by the use of computers. Businesses, then, must have people who can take care of them, and they need IT courses to become and remain competent.

The idea that we will be able to end the reliance on hard copy documents is still futuristic, but reliance on data in electronic form is the new norm. It is simply faster and more efficient, which is why it is incorporated in to everything from cars and refrigerators to toys and greeting cards. It is hard to imagine an organization that can run without electronic data.

Children are now growing up in a world driven by technology, and they learn it early and well. Classic movies showing telephones permanently affixed to the wall seem archaic, and even books and magazines have migrated online. But even this generation will depend on specialists to set up, repair or upgrade their devices for them.

Institutes for higher learning have entire degree programs that run entirely in cyber space. Nearly all universities have connections and libraries set up to allow for remote access over the internet. While students and staff know how to manipulate these set ups for their true purpose, it requires training to maintain and update them.

One of the big ideas for helping decrease the cost of health care on a national scale is to move medical records to an electronic version within three years. Despite using advanced diagnostic tools, most physicians use paper for their most important data. Medical charts are a staple of medicine, despite the loss of efficiency their handling and filing costs.

Having established a local area network and hiring educated individuals to run it, there is still the issue of progress to deal with. While progress, especially in information technology is almost always a good thing, it comes with a price. The civilized world will always need to improve and expand this now standard knowledge base.

So every organization, almost without regard to size will need people to handle these marvelous but complex and changing processes. It is a field that grows daily, trying to stay apace innovation. The need for IT courses will not end until reliance on digital data does.
