information technology image

Q. What are the differences between a Bachelor of Science in computer science degree and a Bachelor of Arts in information technology degree in terms of what you are taught, what kind of jobs you can get, and how much money you could make on average?
How do you know the school you go to is accredited to teach computer science and information technology?

Answer
Computer science is much more mathematically based, and is much more technical. You will be expected to know how software works and about grass root programming such as assembler or database normalization to an advanced level.

Information technology teaches you how to use computer software to perform various tasks.

CS is for people who want to be programmers, IT is for people who want to be users or to work in non programing areas of the industry.

How far has medical technology come within the last decade?

Q. I find it kind of sad that " technology" has become synonymous with luxury, materialistic, unnecessary, goods, and not also associated with advancements in fields that are necessary for our health and well being. You're far more likely to hear about an advancement in tv watching than you are to hear of one in cancer prevention, diagnostics, etc. But why? Why does there seem to be such a stagnancy in medical technology a well as almost a neglect in it? Is it because the healthy public doesn't care one ay or the other? There is no funding for it? It's technology that lacks entertainment and thus is pointless? What exactly is missing in society that more attention isn't paid towards it. Imagine if society put as much attention toward advances in cancer treatment and prevention as they do towards cell phones. We probably would have had a cure a decade ago.

"technology" has become synonymous with luxury, materialistic, unnecessary, goods, and not also associated with advancements in fields that are necessary for our health and well being

~According to whom, exactly? Your observations?

You're far more likely to hear about an advancement in tv watching than you are to hear of one in cancer prevention, diagnostics, etc

~Not true. Just yesterday, one of the big stories on the news was the little girl in Mississippi who has been cured of HIV.
But, news caters to what holds a reader's/viewer's attention. Read better magazines and websites and you'll find all kinds of info in advances in medicine.

Why does there seem to be such a stagnancy in medical technology a well as almost a neglect in it?

~ Again, not true. Lol, not even close. Companies spend hundreds of billions, if not trillions, of dollars trying to find the next big drug or device. In the last few years, the best ankle replacement device came on the market after millions and millions of dollars in testing. Old ones sucked and the new ones are life changing.

Imagine if society put as much attention toward advances in cancer treatment and prevention as they do towards cell phones.

~ We put more money towards penis pills and national defense, BY FAR, than we do towards cancer research.

We probably would have had a cure a decade ago.

~ I wouldn't go that far, but remember, we HAVE come up with a cancer vaccination. Gardisil, the HPV vaccination, prevents certain types of cervical cancer.



I'm not going to say that we should sacrifice TVs for cancer cures. We can't even sacrifice 'gun rights' for the lives of children. I will say that more focus needs to be on prevention of things like cancer - via diet and exercise. Stronger education, stronger reprecussions, stronger aversions to get people away from "fries for $1". Tax the snot out of meat, cheap calorie dense fast food, and cheap processed crap and teach people a REAL food pyramid, not one that requires a chunk of beef, a glass of milk, and a potato for each meal.

What is the difference between Information Technology and Information Engineering?

Chrisvic

I want to apply for a major in a university. From the list of programs they offer, I saw only Information Engineering. I want to know if it is the same as Information Technology. Please I will also like to know the subjects involves in those two major and the kind of work/career they perform. Thank you.

Answer
No! absolutely not!

Information technology would train you to be a proficient secretary, PA or librarian ( it encompasses learning to write essays, learning how to use Microsoft word and excel etc, and learning about the power of information ) . Information engineering is more like communications engineering. You would learn how to become a technician for a telecommunications company or the likes. you learn about transmitters and transistors, ( it would encompass a broad range of things from physics, and engineering to hands on mechanical training. )

What kind of technology do you think will exist in the future?

TheCurious

What kind of technology or do you have any ideas of anything you think will exist in the future?

If so, what can conflict it?

Answer
No one can no for sure. You we can make all kinds of predictions but we will never hit the bull's eye. Did people in the 1800's or before predict airplanes? Did people also predict that computers and the internet would have such a huge influence in our life? Did people ever expect such technology as the TV and telephone and the drastic impact it would have on our lifestyles? '

No one expected these technologies to arise and have such a large impact.

Predictions about the future are based on what we have now, so its hard to know for sure what it will bring us.

Some ideas:
-Computers will control most things, and robots will become more common
-Space travel will be cheaper and more frequent
-New forms of leisure and entertainment we havent dreamed of yet
