Not long ago, the advanced countries (Europe, United States of America, Canada) have entered the era of post-industrialism.The most valuable resource was the information.Gradually begin to prevail on the knowledge of its value over the capital and the rest of the world.This process is evident in virtually every area.Sell machine can be several thousand dollars, and know-how - a billion.Developed countries have long been transferred to all physical assets abroad, leaving only at research centers, universities and laboratories.This suggests that the information human activity was higher valued, and people are willing to invest in it.
Why bachelors elite universities, receive a quality education, promise a dollar salary with four zeros and a graduate of the Russian professional college hardly make it to forty thousand rubles a month?This is easily explained: the employer in each case different was assessed information activities, these two places of learning.It is the quality and accessibility of knowledge is a determining factor in modern education.
Information human activities - a concept quite extensive: it includes the process of transmitting, receiving, storing, storage and conversion of knowledge and data.This is a complex multi-structured process.But despite the different types of information of human activities in global terms, it boils down to one thing - progress through the use of accumulated knowledge.
acute problem was the safety information.The manuscripts and cuneiform copies did not differ durability.They were often irretrievably lost during the great journeys, wars, revolutions or the change of ruling dynasties.Because of these failures in the transmission of accumulated knowledge of generations and slows the development of the nation.The importance of the transfer of experience and skills thought a few centuries ago.Professional information activities man was then placed on the shoulders of the priests, the chroniclers, oracles, and the Druids.However, it is not effective: the sources were very few, and pictured them to have access to data only your favorites.
Over time, techniques have changed and become more comfortable: to create private libraries, archives with different types of systematization.There librarian and archivist profession.
years passed, and the volume of waste paper has been steadily growing, catalog, was becoming more and more difficult, the staff expanded.Some statistics: until the early nineteenth century, the average volume of human knowledge doubled every fifty years;already from the middle of this was enough for five.Currently, this period was reduced more.In this form, the information movement lasted until the mass computerization.The pioneer was the computer "ENIAC" in 1946 from the United States.In the era of computerization of the USSR came to the 1951st efforts academician Lebedev.
It is difficult to imagine a specialist on the table which would not have a computer, tablet or laptop.Information activities with the development of the human segment of nano-technology in recent years has made a huge leap.It's hard to find an industry where not to use computer databases and did not serve the good of humanity.
