$t&s ' a(m( ,the alarm on my ne# phone is ringing again,playing my favourite ne# )ihanna
song that #a*es me up every morning( $&m getting up,and the first thing to do on my mind is
to visit my university #eb-site and to see #hen do $ have classes today(+od,$ haven&t had my
brea*fast yet,and $&m already on my P,,searching the $nternet(
$ realise the computers and the $nternet are !ust the part of our everyday lives(-e find
$nternet adresses on the food pac*, A%.s, in the maga/ines or on the evening ne#s(%he
+lobal Net#or* 0$nternet provides chance for the individuals and the organi/ations to
connect, communicate and cooperate together and compete any#here in the #orld at any
time,to access to the vast amounts of datae and services,to organi/e !ob and business
plans,travelling and a !ourney !ust li*e manufacturing and sales(%he +lobal Net#or* is
available regardless of the geographical location, distance, time or language barriers(
%he informations that are generated and transmitted #ithin health information systems have
special purposes: the function of *eeping the medical records because the number of data
collected in the health facilities is very large and informations must be easily accessible #hen
needed 1and it is only possible #ith the computer2 3computers are used in the medical
diagnostics,#hen processing and analysing the clinical and laboratory measurements 3and the
most important one- the purpose of treatment and the rehabilitation 1the oldest computer use
in medicine is related to the programme planning of radiation tumor2(
%he important areas of $% application in the organi/ation of health care is arranging visits of
the patients in the primary care,receiving patients in hospitals, and giving necessary
prescription( $ al#ays #ondered ho# the handicapped and disabled people #ill come to the
pharmacy if they live alone and have no one to go instead and get medications(%hat&s #hy $
thought about a device by #hich a fingerprint is signaling the pharmacist that the patient is
missing out the medication and to send them their drug suppliers(-ouldn&t it be humane to
help those people #ith disabilities4(
$n my country,there is a special technology sistem on the traffic lights for blind people #ho
cannot see the #hen is the green light( A special sound gives the signal them that cars have
stopped and that they are able to cross the street( $nformation technology are in
general,e5tremely useful and important in traffic( 6o you thin* that people #ould everyday
use the planes in such a large number if there #eren&t things li*e the autopilot and the satellite
connection #ith the head-office and that only t#o men drive plane manually instead4
"o# is the traffic managed and sheduled on the rail#ays and tubes4 "o# does the system for
toll payment function4%he ans#er is the same for all of them-$nformation systems regulate
everything that human hand has made,if $ may say so in my o#n #ords(
$n 7elgrade,for e5ample, a ne# system is integrated in the traffic through #hich you can see
#here all the buses and trams are no# ,and #hen they are coming to the nearest bus stop(%hat
system is called 8automatic vehicle location8 and #or*s via +PS 1+lobal Position system(2
%his #ay citi/en of 7elgrade are much more happier and calmer,because they can easily come
on time #herever they #ant(
7ut #hat about those blind people that $ mentioned before4"o# #ill they manage to use the
public transportation and come on their preffered destination4-hy are they doomed to sit at
home4$t #ould be a lot more easier for them if there #as a special +PS and navigation for
blind people so they can listen the instructions of the voice guide and #al* free through the
city(
((((((((((((
After my brea*fast, $ #as having a video chat #ith my boyfriend #ho #ent on a cruiser to
#or* as an assistant #aiter($ couldn&t imagine a day spent #ithout &&seeing9 him on S*ype
since $ *no# that every #ee* he goes to different country( $ thin* the most important thing
about the $nternet is this-communicating #ith your friends no mather #here they are($t&s the
fastest and the cheapest #ay to contact my boyfriend since he&s on 7ahamas no# ( %he
other useful fact is that you can earn money on the $nternet($ #as very suspicious about
that,but no# $&m convinced,#hen $ see that my colleague is designing a #eb-site for some
american company in e5cange for sallary that&s being sent via -esternunion and other ban*
accounts(
:bviously,the influence of $nformation %echnology is enormous(%hey pervade our daily lives(
;ven a superficial insight into our daily e5perience sho#s that $% and computer technology
are inseparable from digital instruments and informations(
A famous <+ company sho#ed recently at the ,onsumer ;lectronics Sho# in <as =egas, a
ne# Smart )efrigerator #hich comes #ith a 9food management system> that allo#s users to
chec* #hat?s in their fridge from their smartphone, #ith granular details right do#n to the
e5piration date(%here are multiple #ays to tell the fridge #hat items are inside( :ne #ay is to
select from a range of preset items using the fridge?s touchscreen but there is also voice
recognition and the ability to scan grocery receipts or barcodes using your smartphone( %he
Smart )efrigerator also includes a 9health manager>, #hich #ill tell you recipes for things
you can ma*e based on #hat is in your fridge and the personal profiles of family members(
$ #as especialy thrilled #ith a Smart -ashing .achine that is able to do#nload ne# #ashing
cycle programs from the internet such as 9super rinse> and 9baby sanitise>(
<+?s smart oven, fridge and #ashing machine can be monitored 0 and controlled - remotely
from a smartphone or %= set, regardless of the user?s geographical location(

%hin* about all that smart home technology($t&s inevitable that, in the near future, people #ill be
living in smart homes(Smart home technology #ill allo# all sorts of electronics and
appliances to be able to communicate #ith each other and perform a variety of tas*s(
-henever you #ant to have a snac*, but do not feel li*e ma*ing something, #hy not have the
refrigerator suggest something based on #hat it has inside of it( Not only that, it #ould
communicate #ith the micro#ave to prepare the coo*ing po#er and time for that particular
dish(%oo good to be true4 Smart home technology may be innovative, but it !ust uses e5isting
technology( A smart device is an ordinary appliance #ith a sophisticated computer installed to
give it more functionality( 7ut it is #hat these ne# functions bring that ma*es it so significant(
Smart homes #ill become more of a reality as broadband internet becomes more #idespread
in homes( ,able broadband is not the only technology that #ill be used to have devices in the
home communicate #ith each other( :ther technologies such as 6S<, 7luetooth, and #ireless
#ill also be used 17arthold2( %hese technologies provide a #ay to have a home net#or*ed for
devices to communicate #ith each other and to have them connected to the $nternet( %hese
different communication technologies, #hether they are hard #ired or #ireless, provide the
foundation on #hich a smart home #ill operate(
$ personally cannot #ait to enter my ne# sho#er #hich #ill be able to store my
profile and #ill ad!ust #ater temperature and pressure settings according to my needs($
suggest that toilets notify users #hen the toilet paper stoc* is lo# and to order some more for
them( <ittle things ma*e life beautiful(
%echnology e5perts also promise that -atching television is no longer going to be as limited
as it is today( %he ability to #atch sports at any angle the consumer #ants is something that
#ill be seen in the future( Another possibility of interactive television is the ability to actually
play #ith contestants on a game sho#( %here are many different #ays that interactive
television #ill change the #ay people #atch %=, allo#ing people to become part of the #orld
that they see on %=(Smart home technology is still in its early stages but #ill soon ma*e a
tremendous impact on everyone?s lives(
%oday the class #as so boring,but my friend .arc #as even more boring("e *ept sho#ing
us his ne# iPhone application #here you type the brand of your car and the distance among
the cities #here from you #ant to travel ,and that geniuos phone calculates ho# much fuel
#ill you spent to get there(
%here are a fe# things that you should al#ays ta*e into account( $f #e #ant to adopt ne#
information technology in the best possible #ay, #e should redirect the current interest
to#ards the improvement of everyday life, but thin*ing on #hat #ill happen tomorro#( (
