Topic 1

Data, Information and Information
Management

Hello! My name is Nehat Dedinca and I come from Kosovo. Now I am doing foundation programs and until now everything is going well. To tell the truth for that subject I am here. I want to study IT for undergraduation. This subject (Information technology) is the subject that I like the most. No doubt, it will be the most interesting for me until I finish my studies. I have a little bit knowledge about it, but I expect to gain the majority of knowledge from my lecturer. I like the way how Ms. Nur Khairunnisha Zainal teaches. I am gaining a lot from her and also from the other lecturer. This is the subject which I am going to learn with all my passion about it and I do not think that I will get tired learning IT.

The first topic that we learnt in Information technology was “Data, Information and Information Management”. Before Ms. Nur Khairunnisha Zainal our lecturer, started to explain about it I asked myself what I know about this topic?! I was really embarrassed to myself. I knew a little bit for Data and Information, but for information management I did not know anything at all.

At first, Ms. Nisha gave us an introduction about the subject and some essential information about that. She taught us the basic operations of computer that a computer can perform then she moved to evolution of computers. I think that is really good thing to know for them who want to study IT. It’s good to know a bit about the history of computers.

So, I learnt the computer has 5 generation and every single one has their own characteristics. I also learnt about categories of computer. I knew some of them, but for some I had never heard.

I learnt what is Data and Information too. Which are the basic elements of information? How do computers represent data? Data communication? Why computer network is significant? Those are the question that now I can easily give an answer.

The class was being more and more interesting for me. Moreover, we learnt a new topic for me. Information management was the topic that was totally new for me. I learnt definition of information management. I also learnt which systems information management encompasses.

The class in general was great for me. I gained a lot of knowledge and know I am aware of the things that were explained by Ms. Nisha. I just hope to keep it on and to stay focused during the class and to recall it too.
