5)Explained: What to expect on Republic Time 2021and what not to

India Republic Day -- Republic Day 2021: In 2020it was the agitation contrary to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). Nowthousands of farmersgenerally from Punjab and Haryanahave been camping at the region of Delhi for more than eight weeksdemanding the Centre repeal the three farm laws. For that second year in a rowRepublic Day celebrations in the national capital will be organised under the shadow of flaming protests against laws handed by the Centre. In 2020it was the agitation contrary to the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). This timethousands of farmersgenerally from Punjab and Haryanahave been camping at the region of Delhi for more than eight weeksdemanding the Centre repeal the three farm laws. This years Republic Day march will also be the first major open public event in pandemic times. What is new this year The case will be pared down the number of spectatorsthe size of marching contingents and other side destinations. The spectator size is reduced to 25000 from around 1

Information technology

Image
Information technology ( IT ) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information. IT is typically used within the context of business operations as opposed to personal or entertainment technologies. IT is considered to be a subset of information and communications technology (ICT). An information technology system ( IT system ) is generally an information system, a communications system or, more specifically speaking, a computer system – including all hardware, software and peripheral equipment – operated by a limited group of users. Humans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating, and communicating information since the Sumerians in Mesopotamia developed writing in about 3000 BC, but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review ; authors Harold J. Leavitt and Thomas L. Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established name.

History of computer technology

Image
Devices have been used to aid computation for thousands of years, probably initially in the form of a tally stick. The Antikythera mechanism, dating from about the beginning of the first century BC, is generally considered to be the earliest known mechanical analog computer, and the earliest known geared mechanism. Comparable geared devices did not emerge in Europe until the 16th century, and it was not until 1645 that the first mechanical calculator capable of performing the four basic arithmetical operations was developed. Electronic computers, using either relays or valves, began to appear in the early 1940s. The electromechanical Zuse Z3, completed in 1941, was the world's first programmable computer, and by modern standards one of the first machines that could be considered a complete computing machine. Colossus, developed during the Second World War to decrypt German messages, was the first electronic digital computer. Although it was programmable, it was not general-purpose,

Electronic data processing

Data storage edit Early electronic computers such as Colossus made use of punched tape, a long strip of paper on which data was represented by a series of holes, a technology now obsolete. Electronic data storage, which is used in modern computers, dates from World War II, when a form of delay line memory was developed to remove the clutter from radar signals, the first practical application of which was the mercury delay line. The first random-access digital storage device was the Williams tube, based on a standard cathode ray tube, but the information stored in it and delay line memory was volatile in that it had to be continuously refreshed, and thus was lost once power was removed. The earliest form of non-volatile computer storage was the magnetic drum, invented in 1932 and used in the Ferranti Mark 1, the world's first commercially available general-purpose electronic computer. IBM introduced the first hard disk drive in 1956, as a component of their 305 RAMAC computer system

Perspectives

Image
Academic perspective edit In an academic context, the Association for Computing Machinery defines IT as "undergraduate degree programs that prepare students to meet the computer technology needs of business, government, healthcare, schools, and other kinds of organizations .... IT specialists assume responsibility for selecting hardware and software products appropriate for an organization, integrating those products with organizational needs and infrastructure, and installing, customizing, and maintaining those applications for the organization’s computer users." Commercial and employment perspective edit Companies in the information technology field are often discussed as a group as the "tech sector" or the "tech industry". Many companies now have IT departments for managing the computers, networks, and other technical areas of their businesses. In a business context, the Information Technology Association of America has defined information technology as
