Recently, it seems that new technologies have been developed every day. Becoming aware of what is new as well as the tendencies for the future in the Computer World and Information Technology can affect and bring new horizons to our education and careers. Observing and understanding better the impact computer technologies have in the world today has made me ponder on how it influences my educational, personal and professional life.
When I think that about only 20 years ago most students had just a calculator to do their Balance Sheets in their Accounting classes I realized how hard it was for them to finish that task. On my college experience, I have seen how much Electronic Brains we call computers are useful and helpful in my education. For example, I have an Accounting class in which I am required to do Balance Sheets or Income Statements. The use of a computer, more specifically the Excel in this case, is a remarkable tool that helps me to do these activities and save all data necessary in a few minutes instead of hours if I would use a calculator like students needed to do years ago.
These advantages influence not only my education, but also, my personal life in general.
Even in my activities related to church I have been deeply benefited by the rapidly pace Information Technology grows. While trying to do the genealogy of my family I have been favored by an enormous amount of data which provides me with records of deceased people from all over the world, where they were borne, where they died, who were their parents and sometimes, even the information about their other relatives. This program’s name is Family Search, which provides many features that allow searches for deceased family members by name, place of birth, place of death or date of birth and death, allowing me to find those family members who came before me and their history. The influence that Information Technology has had in my education and personal life is enormous and it will have even a greater impact in my professional life and my future.
When I think about my future, specifically professionally speaking, I can see that I will need the advantages offered by technologies available today and the new ones that surely will be developed in a few years. I plan to be a part of the Business World as a professional. "Immediacy of informationis incredibly valuable to everything in our business, because it's changing very, very rapidly." (Michael Dell, Management Information Systems for the Information Age, fourth edition). I know that with all the data I can have, receive and store because of computer programs or software I will be able to learn and find out what my costumers need or want, for example, allowing me to offer better service and a way that I will always increase the quality of services or products I will be selling and offering. My future as a professional will be successful as I learn to use the tools that are accessible because of the Information Technology available to me.
Looking forward to a brilliant and triumphant future, I am willing and excited to learn and master the use of all technology that will improve my life and all aspects. Doing that I know I will be ready to a better professional, a faster learner and progress even more in my personal life.
