2. LITERATURE REVIEW
2.1 Information Technology

Information Technology (IT) and Information and Communication Technology
(ICT) are a technology that is required for data processing. The topic is very
broad meaning; it encompasses all aspects of management and information
processing. In addition, it involves the use of computers and software to edit,
save, protect, process, transmit, view and obtain information, regardless of place
and time. The term “information technology” is said to appear in the 1970s.
However there are elements of history that says the 20th century, there is research
done by industry to develop the electronics, computers, and information theory is
that, because a lot of machinery used in the field by the military.

The first commercial computer was the UNIVAC I. It was designed by J. Presper
Eckert and John Mauchly for the U.S. Census Bureau. End of the 1970s saw the
rise of microcomputers, followed closely by IBM personal computer in 1981.
Since then, four generations of computers have evolved, with each generation
represented a step that was characterized by smaller hardware and capable. The
first generation used vacuum tubes, with the second generation and third
respectively transistors and integrated circuits. Thus, we see many greater using
the current generation of complex systems, such as very large scale integration
(VLSI). IT is a field of technology management and reaching a variety of areas
including computer software, information systems, and computer hardware,
programming languages, but not limited to such things as processes, and building
data. IT provides the business with four sets of core services to help implement
business strategy: the automation of business processes, providing information,
liaising with clients, and productivity tools. IT provides the business with four

of choosing sponsors, meeting places, attractions and places the package. In addition,
Dell has made Malaysia the function is a very popular and has been a globalization of
information technology development. Indirectly suggested in order to follow any plan

16

U1153049 U1151772 SM1007 2011/12

5. Recommendations

In light of this conclusion, I recommend that the conference planning organization should
choose in advance to facilitate the calculation of the budget for the conference, select the
appropriate time and date as well as a mission to make the conference have public appeal.

In addition, the organization can fill in the conference with activities such as quizzes,
lucky draws or the registration of members, in addition may provide lectures about the
development of information technology with Dell. Can also provide a souvenir for the
participants who attended as a contribution or give a discount for a product. Even if the
organization also provides a package of attractions and food and drink will give comfort
to the participants, but it depends on the financial organization for the conference.
