How has the development of information technology influenced the common traditions of a society?


First of all, I think we should define what is information technology?

Information technology deals with the use of the electronic computers and computer's software to store, convert process and transmit the information and data.

As we know that the development of the technology and information technology is dynamic and it continues day by day, actually the (IT) and the development of it  affect the people and their traditions, for example, before we brought a computer to our home all my family was thinking that the computer has a lot of disadvantages and it is something bad and it is wasting of money, so I was secretly going to my friend’s house and to internet cafĂ© to use it. At that time just the rich people have it.



However, after that the people become aware of the development of (IT) and how it affects on their life so they understand the importance of it and almost all the people try to have a computer in a house, for example of the impacts on the society is the video call; in past when the people want to contact with their relatives and family members in other countries, they need to paid a lot of money just to speak few minutes on the phone, comparing with the present time we can see how cheap it is besides they can call a video call, now my family saying that to have internet in our home is something necessary, comparing with before I was telling them to have a computer just but thy were against me .            


Another example of how the traditions influenced by the information technology and the development of it is the education, before the studying of IT and computer was rarely and the way of teaching was developed like now somehow it was writing on the wall by special kind of stone, in the other hand we can see in the present time almost in all countries the development of the education because of the development of (IT) such as the research. There are many example of the impact of (IT) in our society like in trading, business field and others.
