Technology is always progressing. The way IT development is going to occur throughout the next ten years has a lot to do with the system development life cycle, which is phases used in order to build a system or project successfully. Other factors that will contribute to developments in the future include the “block of codes” principle under service-oriented architecture, rapid application development, extreme programming, and agile methodology. When a business uses these components as their foundation, it will be easier for them to succeed in the future. Some IT developments that will continue to thrive are virtual reality (which can be very beneficial to businesses related to entertainment), infrastructure/platform as a service, which are components of cloud computing, grid computing, and utility computing. Overall, I believe that IT developments will affect businesses in a positive way in the future.

 

Question 2

Can computers think?  Will they ever be able to think? Why or why not?

The questions of can computers think and why or why not it’s a very common question for those working on computer and IT. I believe the answer to this question is possibly. I say that computers maybe able to think or will be able to the way that humans do. Now considering that humans are the ones who have made computers we have made them in a specific way. As far as artificial intelligence This might change some things. The whole goal of computers is to get them to do more that could be performed faster than humans. Although this is the goal with Computers in general and I might be a little bit different just in terms of creating more So they can hear, talk, move and even feel. there’s a lot more advancement in artificial intelligence that scientists and engineers still work on to this day to try to get them to think the way humans do. Which is why everybody is afraid of sad technology but there’s no way to stop the progressing of these types of computers. As we know most of society already is aware of sad computer systems self I believe it is possible with this specific type of technology.
