The first scientific development is probably the nuclear energy, which, at Hiroshima and Nagazaka shocked the world. The second being the discovery of mains capacity to travel in space. But the advent of computer industry seems to top them all. The modern computer represents a fundamental advancement in computation. The precision with which it accepts and processes data information baffles the imagination of man even though it was man who invented it many have characterized our time a transition from the industrial age to the information age.

In addition to computers, other office machines or communication technologies in the economy today include telex, facsimate machine, cable and satellite television etc. Advancement in computer communication technologies (information transfers) affects the way we live, work and see the world. All these machines are used to create, manipulate and manage information faster and more easily than with any other systems.In turn we use the information so produced to calculate communicate and make decisions. The great increase of white cover workers is legendary and most of them concentrate on producing information and/ or consuming it.
