How did world war 2 affect technology?

If certain things would not have been invented like the atomic bomb the allies wouldn't have won. or the v-2 rocket that is the same rocket idea that got us to the moon.

Actually, the allies would have won anyway. Though catastrophic for humanity the atomic bombs saved millions in what would have been a drawn out engagement with Japan. The Allied Forces were already beating Japan with tactics like island hopping.

How many years does it take to get a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology degree in Capella University?

A bachelor's degree in most areas can require between 120 to 128 college credits particular to a specific program of study. This would be based on a college or university that operates on a regular two semester academic year which is the most common. For institutions that operate on a tri-semester or quarter-semester it would be quite different. That being said, the Bachelor's degree - in most cases - is designed as a four year program of study, provided the student is full-time and follows their chosen program of study as prescribed by the college or university, and also provided the individual does not require prerequisite or developmental coursework as a result of basic skills testing. The minimum credit load for a full-time student is no less than 12 credits per semester. However, to complete the degree within the four years, a credit load of approximately 15 to 18 credits is recommended. For individuals who work or who have other responsibilities that would prohibit them from attending full-time, completion of the degree may take twice as long. Still, some of this time can be cut down by attending summer sessions and/or interim sessions. In addition, the bachelors and associate degrees are referred to as undergraduate degrees while the masters and doctorate degrees referred to as graduate degrees.

As far as the relationship to the course of study in general, probably not much since it usually consists of English literature, global studies, and art.

What are the different uses of computer?

Computer Uses Uses of computer & related resources. The influence of computers is universal. Computers are used in applications ranging from running a farm, diagnosing a disease, and designing to constructing and launching a space vehicle. Because the development of computers has been largely the work of scientists, it is natural that a large body of computer applications serves the scientist. To solve scientific problems researchers must deal with the language of science: mathematics. To understand more deeply complex natural phenomena, scientists must use complex mathematical relationships and volumes of data too impossible to manage without the aid of computers. Many scientific computer programs serve the entire population. The links included herein relate to computers and their uses. Computer Uses 2Computers are used in education; students and even scientist do their homeworks and researches on related topics on the online libraries.

Medicne- they are used in hospitals for deseas diagnosis and keeping of data related to this field

Entertainment- like in playing games , listening to music and watching movies

Businesses use computers in their daily operations eg in preparing pay rolls of the employees

Security is more enhanced with the use of computers; they are used in security searches, setting and monitoring security alarms

Communication- the sending of e-mails, conferencing, chatting with differrent people in different places all over the world

What is the difference between Computer Technology and Information Technology?

Computer Technology deals more with hardware usage and building/repairing PC's, networks, etc, while Information Technology deals with using computers to acquire knowledge as applied in the business world. For example: A person with a Computer Technology degree may find themselves working for a repair company building pcs or upgrading the current computing infrastructure. A person with an Information Technology degree (such as myself) may find themselves working as a programmer or building database queries to ferret out information for a company to make decisions based upon that data. Many college/university websites can help to deliver a better answer than mine above. Look around, you'll quickly see what the difference in curriculums is like.

Role of information communication technology in Nigeria economic growth?

Nigeria's economic growth rests on quality of expenditure

In order to achieve its planned economic growth target, the Federal Government will need to be mindful of the quality of its expenditure, renowned professor of economics, Paul Collier, has advised.

Collier, a former director of research group at the World Bank, observed that the country had in the past suffered because of the poor quality of its expenditure.

"Improvement in the quality of expenditure made by government is important to support future economic growth.

"In Nigeria though, government expenditure is on the increase; waste, mismanagement, and misplaced priorities mean the economy is not getting the required improvements because of the poor quality of expenditure," he said.

Nigeria currently has an ambitious 13 percent growth rate target over the next 12 years. This year alone, the country hopes to achieve 9.2 percent growth rate from the current 6.65 percent recorded in the second quarter.

Collier, who currently heads the Centre for Study of African Economics at Oxford University, England, spoke at Business Day's breakfast meeting held in Lagos yesterday, noting that Nigerians should celebrate the intelligent decision on public expenditure in the past four years which ushered in the buoyant financial conditions currently being enjoyed in the country, especially in the face of the current global financial crisis.

He was also of the view that there is the need to strike a balance between consumption and expenditure because as a growing economy, Nigeria needs to save for the future not just for consumption.

"The need to strike a balance between consumption and spending is because the foundation of future growth is laid today," he said.

Collier remarked that even with the ongoing global financial crisis, there is no cause for panic.

"Crisis happens very often. There is no cause for panic. For Nigeria, though the demand for oil is still down, but even at $87 per barrel, it is not still bad, looking at the budget benchmark and when oil was sold at as low as $27 per barrel."

With the ravaging global financial crisis, it is envisaged that the Nigerian economy will slow down a bit because as an oil producing economy, it is still selling to Europe and America that are worst hit by the global panic.

"The crisis would have hit harder on the country if there is not a good macroeconomic management in terms of macro economic stability and government savings."

Collier was also of the view that a lot of public spending should not go into investments. This, in his estimation is because in the last four years, the unit costs of construction have soared.

"In investment spending, Nigeria must bring down the cost of construction. That is micro-spending decision which will enable the country save for the future."

For a robust economy, a sound financial system is required and this is why Nigeria's financial system has to be strong. This is a challenge to the Central Bank of Nigeria's (CBN) post-consolidation, he noted.

Collier observed further that in the last 20 years, Nigeria's manufacturing industry has been dormant.

"This is one of the consequences of an oil dependent economy. The way forward is good macro-management in public spending which brings down the cost of manufacturing. Lagos as a mega city can be turned into a low cost manufacturing city integrating into a global economy.

In relation to fuel subsidy, Collier noted: "Your [Nigeria] legacy is that Nigerian citizens lack confidence in the quality of government spending. Government should not deny these suspicions by citizens. There should be a very high degree of confidence from the grassroots. For instance, in Malaysia, the government was able to convince the citizens of government's ability to spend public money in a meaningful manner," Collier stated.

He also spoke of the need to engage with the private sector.

"For Nigeria, the reason you need the private sector is for management. The secret of good management is competition. There should be private sector management in public service delivery. The financial sector, network industry (power, rail) and public assets are the three key sectors that need government regulation to keep the economy running," he added.

Remi Babalola, minister of state for Finance, who was special guest at the breakfast meeting, disclosed that Nigeria is in a precarious position in terms of what is happening today (global financial crisis).

"We are having challenges in terms of the volume of production. Since the current administration came in, most Nigerians have not really seen the impact. What we are trying to do is to diversify the economy by focusing on power, agriculture and other areas important to drive our growth target. That (rewuired)a quantum of money."

Indeed, he noted that, the greatest challenge Nigeria has is how to transform poverty to prosperity in the country.

"Over 80 percent of Nigerians are living below acceptable standard. Government is trying as much as possible to get to the second level of reforms. That is why we are begging people from the private sector to come, so that we grow the economy together. We are trying to analyse and put things together to get a proper development plan."

Speaking further, Babalola noted that before the global financial crisis, there had always been collaboration among the ministry of finance, Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) and other important agencies to make sure there is a stable financial sector.

"We are trying to make sure that we have stable financial landscape which people will appreciate," he said.

He also indicated government's commitment to the structural and institutional reforms of the public sector. "This is because we cannot have a vibrant private sector without a vibrant public sector. We are getting to a stage where public sector activities are getting worse of because we are concentrating on the private sector to drive the economy. We believe that our economy will still grow. Let's be realistic, the interesting thing about Nigeria is that people are actually looking at the possibilities of achieving the double digit growth target."

The minister indicated that double-digit growth for Nigeria is not immediate but attainable with successive achievements.

"Success brings success. If we grow the economy each year over the next five years, there is every possibility of achieving double-digit growth. For instance this year, in the agricultural sector, we are going to achieve substantial growth. We will not compromise some basic macro economic indicators as a way of achieving macro economic stability. We have one of the lowest Gross Domestic Product (GDP) ratios in the whole world," noted.

Why do you think organizations should develop their own information technology project management methodologies?

I think the main argument is that your company has unique characteristics and needs that a generic methodology cannot fulfill.

However, ERP/SAP technology has come a long way and is getting better at customization to excentuate and fulfill your needs.
