The Contribution of Informatics to the Development of Social
probe The contri notwithstandingion of Informatics to the development of fond networks and their impact on purchase order Change is continuous constant inevitable and sometimes unpredictable. We displace tardily say that world has changed a lot in industrial and robotlike era scarcely the change seen in last half a century is exp championntial and amazing. If we have to credit one invention which had bought such(prenominal) a revolution, it would be computers. With advent of computers, a new paradigm deepen was seen, computers enable mankind to compute and process information in much meaningful way with a blink of an eye.And it did not stop there, at once a standalone computing machine, the true acumen of computers was judge when they were connected with separately opposite forming a giant mesh of knowledge following from one place to another in speed of light. As technology advances, the ironwargon and softw be capabilities of computers increased, now recently 1teraby te of hard disk space is median(prenominal) for personal PCs, where servers and super computers mickle manage thousands of terabyte easily.Well it is debatable that can we apply Moores Law on the expansion of Internet too, but in practice its seen that Internet has grown tremendously in past years. Currently there are more than 50 gazillion web pages on Google alone, so one can easily regard the depth and breadth of Internet. Humans have always shown eagerness and neural impulse to learn unlearnt, find which is not found yet and invent things with temporary expedient and innovation. This hunger for knowledge is reflected on Internet, as it has abundance of information where millions of tidy sum quench their thirst. plainly the most amazing thing about the age of information and Internet is that they not only infested our professional or educational rule but they have imbued our accessible life too. Aristotle once quoted in his government that Man is by nature a social anim al, sound if Aristotle would have been alive now he would have uttered that and so man is social network animal. Internet helped to shape new social norms in our generation, though we are in transaction period but in more than two decades this would be a tautology.Alvin Toffler in his hold up The Third Wave declared that the shores of the Earth have been struck by wave of information. Interestingly the power of Internet and socializing through networks was so strong that when Alvin Toffler wrote this book back in 1980s Internet had not yet reached its epitome, though it has not reached it now but its farther more glorious than back in 80s. But windlessness the anthropological changes pointed by Alvin are very visible and evident. Ships, trains, supersonic jets and so on have not shortened the edges of this world but Internet has sincerely made this world a global village.It would not be an magnification but single invention of making a meager data packet flow from one point to another brought all other inventions of 20 century to their knees. As there was a huge cast away of scattered information lying on the Internet which would be worthless in majority of cases was channelized by the brilliant idea of socializing sites. The information science provided a concrete edifice to these social sites which developed their existence contact it. I can still remember that when I made my for the first time account on orkut and shared a funny and witty challenge among my friends. I was rejuvenated by the replies and then it was no looking back.The concept of interacting with your friends who are at far geographical locations was just amazing and it withal provided a taste of cross cultural exchange, and not only that but also increases your intellect by indulging in talks and debates around the world. The cofferdam of geographical, cultural, religious, cast, creed etc. was beautifully filled by social sites and networks. The greatness of these social sit es are unimaginable, as on face-book statistics, its reported that 800 million users are active member of face-book, and according to Metcalfes law the number of connections can be calculated by squaring the connected people.One can hardly believe vastness of the node link graph of these social sites. There is no harm in accepting that these social sites are now imperious part of our lives. But with pros there are also some cons prone they come with package, as human being is a bit stubborn, injustice and many people will argue but sometimes nonsensical too, social site failed to provide tolerance and flexibility.It rather serves the purpose of fulfilling your social desires desire to be loved and liked by your friends etc. But still I am not pessimistic, I am home believer that these social networking may not bring complete ignorance and labor but will pave the path for global tranquility. In the end, I would like to conclude that social networking has shaped this world and I feel lucky and blessed to be a part of this revolution.
