Commerce, Creation and Information Technology - By: David Bruce Jr

The majority of world commerce today relies on Information Technology. From the accounting software that handles your accounts and payroll to your Web page, business is increasingly supported by IT services and infrastructure. But like all good tools, IT is limited by our understanding of it and the uses it is given by us.

Looking at a model of Information Technology or IT Services and its infrastructure, it may not be surprising to find a correlation between the creation and its creator. More than that, it is a hologram of the creator. There are obvious similarities to hardware and parts of human anatomy. There is a central processor, like the brain. Information travels throughout the computer by wiring similar to nerve axons. Input units, like the mouse, the keyboard etc. are similar to human senses which gather information. But take it to the next level and you will see a labyrinth of reflections, each mirroring the other in form and function.

In the beginning there was ENIAC, a monstrous, modular computing giant which, for all its speed and mathematical prowess, could not retain a program. It was a brain with no memory. It was fed and spit out punch cards. Technology advanced to Main Frame computers with dumb terminals. These behemoths gave off so much heat that they had to be cooled with water.

Like their counterparts in the biological world, computers have evolved to suit the current climate. They are sleek, powerful, and in addition to individual applications, are designed to share data and services. The mainframes, themselves have evolved into servers, supporting the brave new Pantheon: a celestial convergence of power and knowledge, delivered in the blink of an eye.

We are the masters of super-intelligent minions whose astonishing abilities are limited only by our own ignorance, or lack of creativity. We stand on the brink of: "Your wish is my command" capability. Power of this kind is best used when balanced with knowledge and wisdom.
