Resources of information

All the time , we use information to communicate to each other . These informations are very important to understand what we are trying to say This is one of the factors that contribute to the development of our society

There are five main resources to acquire information . These are people hardware , software , data , and network

Today is the age of computers . These computers are some of the proofs that the world 's technology is advance . Even though we

are in computer age , many practices are still adopted from early times to gather informations . An example of this is the smoke signal . Smoke signal uses bonfires and a piece of cloth to signal out other tribes . The five main resources of information are present in this example . The people is the one who is doing the smoke signal , the bonfire and the piece of cloth are the hardware , the smoke is the data , the practice of using smoke signal is the software or the application used and the other tribe that gather the data is the network

The first one is the people . We can acquire information through people because you can ask them about what you want to know . Information is gathered through people in the form of communication . Communication is the process of exchanging information to one another . A great factor that affects communication is the language used by each party involved Each party must communicate in the same language that both of them understand . If they use different language , they can not understand each other and , thus , they can not acquire information . There are also called effective communication . These are the technique to effective gather information . Actually , communication becomes ineffective even you are using the same language . These are determined by the way the speaker speaks or the way the listener listen . If the speaker speaks inaudibly or the listener is deaf or can not hear well , then there is a problem in communicating and gathering information

Hardware is also important in gathering information . Usually , hardware and software are linked together to gather information . Hardware is tools used to gather information . In the example earlier on smoke signal , the hardware is the bonfire and the cloth that make the smoke Hardware itself can not gather information but it greatly helps out to obtain it . These are used to gather easier information and obtain more credible data . If the person knows how use smoke signal but he does not have the equipment , he can not use this technique

As I said earlier , software is used with hardware . Software is merely an application or techniques that use the hardware to gather information . Software or the application is very hard to use when hardware is not present in terms of gathering information and is impossible to use without hardware in terms of gathering information using the computer . In the example of smoke signal , the practice of doing the smoke...
