| Summary: | The topic of this whole project is Information Technology
(IT). IT was chosen by the group in recognition of its
undeniable impact felt throughout today's world.
The development of IT is strongly encouraged and supported
by the government as it is an important strategic tool in an
economy which emphasises the concept of value-added as a
comparative advantage.
In the public sector, many ministries and government
departments have already been converted from manually operated
organisations to highly computerised ones. This demonstrates the
government's commitment to its firm belief that IT increases
efficiency.
Taking their cue from the public sector, many private firms
have also computerised their operations to harvest the many
advantages of IT.
The social implications of the extensive use of IT involve
issues such as people's work, health, privacy and personal
freedom.
The objective of the project is to have a better
understanding of the development, application and impact of IT
in Singapore. |
