IMPACT OF IT -7

 This week we will cover how to evaluate information and control technology. This is a popular topic because some will say that most information on the internet is fake. Others will say that it is biased or manipulated. Ultimately, you need to have a reasonable amount of judgement to ensure the information you are reading is legitimate.

Moreover, as technology evolves and expands, users and businesses are faced with constant decisions about what is right for them or their business. What drives adoption? What makes products successful? Does the business need the new technology or does the new technology create the need?
