Italian adventurer Marco Polo traveled to China near the end of the Middle Ages. He came back to Italy in 1295, after his exciting adventures in China. After his return, he told the Italians about some really new and different things the Chinese were doing. Something new that the Chinese were using was money crafted from paper. Paper money had been in use in China for hundreds of years when Marco Polo returned to Italy from his voyage to China and told his countrymen about it. Why had the Chinese come to use paper money? One possible explanation is related to the supply of metal. Metal is needed to make coins, and the Chinese did not have a big supply of metal to make coins for all of the people in China. The Chinese had already invented paper, and they had already invented a method of printing on paper. When the Chinese needed something to make into money and they did not have enough metal, they used paper to make money. And how do you think the Chinese government got the Chinese people to accept printed paper as money? The Chinese government issued an order saying that paper money it created was to be used by everyone in China. At first, people were worried that paper money would not have any value, and they did not want to use paper money. However, the government of China was a very strong government, and people had to follow the order to use paper money. After a while, people saw that they could use paper money to buy anything, and they began to accept paper money.

But what exactly is IT? 85% of people polled recently had not a clue what is meant, although 53% of those polled said they thought it sounded pretty important. They were right. It is. So what is it? Well, put simply, it is the “marrying-up” of products from several key industries: computers, telephones, television, satellites. It means using microelectronics, telecommunication networks, and fiber optics to help produce, store, obtain and send information by way of words, numbers, pictures and sound more quickly and efficiently than ever before. The impact IT is having and is going to have on our lives and work is tremendous. It is already linking the skills of the space industry with those of cable television so programmes can be beamed directly into our homes from all over the world. Armies of “steel collar” workers, the robots, will soon be working in factories doing the boring, complex and unpleasant jobs which are at present still done by man. Television will also be used to enable customers to shop from the comfort of their homes by simply ordering via the TV screen, payment being made by direct debit of their credit cards. Home banking and the automatic booking of tickets will also be done through the television screen. Cable television which in many countries now gives a choice of dozens of channels will soon be used to protect our homes by operating burglar and fire alarms linked to police and fire stations. Computers will run our homes, controlling the heating, air conditioning and cooking systems while robots will cope with the housework. The friendly postman will be a thing of the past as the postal service and letters disappear with the electronic mail received via viewdata screens. All these things are coming very fast and their effects will be as far-reaching as those of the industrial revolution. InfoTech is part of the technological revolution and that is with us now.
