Advantages And Disadvantages Of Digitization

The section went on to explain that the researcher wanted to find a solution to the problems faced by the department as one of the reasons which motivated him to embark on this study. Before embarking on the research study the researcher assumed that records were not appraised or disposed at the Works Department which may lead to clogging of offices and storerooms. The scope of the study was explained as to assess the extent to which records management practices were aiding the effectiveness and efficiency of the NUST Department of Works while the aims and objectives were to establish strategies used to manage records in the NUST Department of Physical Planning Works and Estates and to explore methods used to preserve and conserve the department’s vital records among just to mention a

“Paper or plastic?” was the often-heard question from the bagger at the grocery store for many years, but these days the bigger decision is whether to read words on paper or a digital screen. Paper has a long and documented history, having been in use for over 2000 years, while the availability of the digital screen has only come about in the past 50 years. Both paper and digital screens provide the same fundamental function, an avenue for the written word to be conveyed and understood by a person. While the ability to look at print on paper or on a screen are fundamentally the same, using paper still has a unique set of advantages such as the smaller chance of being sidetracked, the accuracy of proofreading, and the increased comprehension that the digital screen has not caught up to yet.

However, his argument surrounding archives as place of power and silence give enticing perspectives on some of the issues that plague the field of archival studies. Although Carter provides many plausible solutions for archivists in ensuring that the silences created are “read against the grain” or actively sought by archivists in an attempt to work with marginalised groups to collect their records and preserve them into the archive and more broadly the “collective memory”. However, his ideas on the feminist literary tactic of subversion of adding the marginalised voice to the mainstream archive without a systems and institutions such as the theme-based archive, will inevitably result in the loss of the voice of those silenced. Although it can be argued that the marginalised can transmit their culture, history, records and voices in other forms such as oral traditions or material artefacts as seen in the Indigenous example, these non-literary forms of record-keeping face the possibility of disappearing with the last transmission holders. The “power of silence” does appear to be an act of freedom according to Carter, but at what cost? It is a question that might be worth asking these marginalised groups by archivists when attempting to reach out and possible create a community based solution to keeping records and collective memory from disappearing forever. As a final insight,

The article “PRESERVATION AND LIBRARY MANAGEMENT” by Graham Matthews appears in Library Management, Vol. 11 Iss 4pp. 4-9. The article has reviewed briefly about preservation activities, in the comprehensive theme, and place in library management. In addition, this article also examines the future of encouragement preservation if consolidated and develop. Not only that, it also needs to be made aware of the increased preservation for continued and coordinated with the promotion, planning and implementation. Furthermore, practical preservation program further improvement at national and local level. In this article, there are a lot of discussions and activities conducted since the publication in 1984of a report Radcliffe. The report has been considered a basic preservation and conservation in British libraries. The impact can be seen is the great progress has been achieved in a very short period of time.

Each practice discussed above integrates multiple aspects of 21st century education. The research task using digital media is highly student-centred, as students are engaged in their own learning with their teacher as a guide, rather than in an authoritarian role (Senge et al., 2012). Rather than bring in a firefighter, the students can actively research their own questions and concerns while the teacher works with them in continuous learning. Furthermore, rather than children learning through competitive question asking, which Senge et al. (2012) identifies to be a traditional approach, they can work with each other through the use of technology, and share their emotions and stories with one another. Children can engage in deep learning and become leaders of their learning together (Fullan & Langworthy, 2014). A limitation of this approach is that not all students may have access to digital technologies at home and can have limited experience, which can therefore cause a digital divide between students and leave some disadvantaged.

For a novice, settling for a good budget-oriented camera is not easy, however, here we will help you find a suitable digital camera and review some of the best cameras in the market, for beginners.

Now of days we are beginning to experience natural disasters, from the category five hurricane in Texas to major earth quakes in New Mexico. The way that things are looking now I believe we will experience these situations more and more throughout the years. Most people have electronic devices but do not know the basics on how to protect their devices from power surges, power outages and other electrical variations. In the following paragraphs I will give you tips and information on how to protect your computers and devices from power outages. This information will be helpful for people who are on budgets but still want something that will actually work and others who are not on budget and want top quality ways to protect their devices from power outages and other electronic devices.

Technology is widespread, and the whole world is moving towards computerization. Technology has both advantages and disadvantages. This is dependent on the technology that a person uses. Different technologies have different risks and attacks associated with them. An attack is any act that will take advantage of vulnerabilities in order to compromise the controlled system. Some of the attacks include phishing, brute force, and denial of service (DoS). The attacks are normally targeted at specific companies, individuals, or services.

In this modern era, people nowadays are getting carried away with the advancing technology. It is because technology has become a necessity in people’ life. If people nowadays live without technology, they are nothing because technology gave human big impact in their life. This statement can be proven when nothing work can be done by people nowadays if this world have no technology. For example people nowadays can not communicate if there were no cellphone. This incident had proved that our daily life very depended to technology. Everything in this world has their own advantaged as well as the opposite. Same goes to technology. It has its own advantages in giving people’s nowadays creativity and communication impact or affect but it also have its own disadvantages that we can not avoid easily.

These four constructs are comparable to relative advantage, complexity, compatibility and trialability of an innovation in DOI, respectively. Since DOI is one of UTAUT’s core elements, the two theories are very similar. However, while DOI considers new ideas in any context and its constructs focus on the characteristics of the innovations, UTAUT pays attention to new technologies in an organizational setting and its constructs place more emphasis on a user’s perception and expectation of the technologies. In this present study, social media is treated as a new technology being adopted for crisis communication in an organizational context.

In this day and age almost everyone has access to the internet. People can access it through there smartphones, tablets, and computers which is in every home. This generation is just a click away from getting the answers to everyday questions. Technology has been evolving from generation to generation. The use of media has a great impact on today’s society. Most young adults and children know no other way to live but with technology. There was a time in history when books were the only outlet for the mind to be free. Children played outside and used their imagination to create an adventure. One could only envision the endless possibilities the world

Offices from highly competitive industries like banking, financial services, healthcare, and government agencies worldwide are always under pressure to reduce costs. From the research, one can say that the performance of the offices can be increased by keeping in mind the following points: centralize physical facilities and budgets; standardize processes across business units; optimize processes to reduce errors and waste; relocate from high-cost to low-cost destinations; and technology enable with, for example, self-service portals. Further developments in automation, including software robots, have added a sixth point (Willcocks, Lacity, & Craig, 2015).

The average amount of time people expend on their digital devices surpasses the amount of sleep they receive in a days’ time. Within today’s society technology reigns over every aspect of life. However, one element has eluded this sovereignty all the while remaining prevalent in our world still exists. This entity that has survived is simply called school. Although the current education system has remained constant for millennia, it is time for the past to interchange into the future. The upbringing of the digital age has arrived and with it a new era will be born where education will be ever closer to the grasps of the young, the intellectual, and the curious. Tech-based learning holds the potential of substantially transforming the way

People need to find a balance between the conveniences of technology and living their life to the fullest. Technology is slowly impeding on our social lives and creeping into our relationships and daily activities. People have become overly dependent on their technological devices. The constant use of devices hinders the ability to communicate effectively with those around us and to participate fully in life experiences. Prior to the development of cellphones, and other handheld devices, people made eye contact when communicating with others, held conversations more effectively, and would make an effort to talk to strangers more often than they do now. In modern day society, more eye contact is occurring with our phones, while

There are many jobs that technology have eliminated in the past decade or so. New types of technology have been coming in to "help" and modernize this new generation. There are even scientists creating robots to physically replace a human and complete the human's labor with great ease. Personally I have a few concerns and fears about this topic in general. I get this feeling that robots can turn against us and try to invade the world and the human population. This may end up leading to a man against machine war in the near future. This can affect me in an unpleasant way because I probably won't have a good shot of being successful with a job knowing that we could change our future for the worst. Personally I want to fist fight a robot and see who wins but that's irrelevant so let me just continue my story.
