What are the current trends in the food industry?

We Answered:

Transgenic foods-genetically modified for resistance to organisms or insect pests.

Food with artifically enhanced nutritional value being created (functional food-'nutraceuticals', like a cross between food and dietary supplement/additive).

New food preservation technologies (freezing food for transport is good but causes some deterioration or degradation and vastly adds to the cost) so we need fresher, more natural foods that are less processed. New preservative methods such as ionizing radiation treatment,
high hydrostatic pressure treatment and high voltage electric field pulses are being tested.

Predict the developments that may take place with an emerging technology based on current and past trends?

We Answered:

Well, I predict that Sony will soon be coming out with a new gaming system possibly a PS4 and that more and more companies will be emerging into the computer business and that Honda will be releasing a newer version of Asimo that is very humanoid and that in the next 3 years there will be a prototype solar pwered car adn that more and mor eplaces will be running off of wind energy and that apple will come out with software for PC and that because Sony has been producing new gaming systems lately and Honda has been fixing the other Asimo's and people want a more enviromentally friendly car and Apple has recently switched to Intel processors, which most PCs use, but the only prblem is they dont use Windows Boot their software uses a different type of startup which makes it so different

Is mobile computing a current trends in information technology?

We Answered:

Computers have become the way of life. Mobile computing spawning into the navigation system in the car, and cell phones that make more then just phone calls. Desktop computers are becoming more and more obsolete and laptops are getting smaller and smaller. More and more options are now available for connectivity outside of the home.

Lillian Said:

looking at the current trends in information technology, what will be the future role of IT within enterprise?

We Answered:

Perhaps the most beneficial role that information technology should play in a business enterprise is the display on large visible VDU's throughout the organisation of the company's financial information.

In profit centres in the enterprise the figures relating to that division ought to be on display. They should show the divisions machine and manpower utilisation, its total costs and its contribution to the company's bottom line profits. When individuals in an organisation are conscious of their contributions to its profitability they become more efficient.

Directors and managers of business ought to have this information on a continual basis. It should be automatically updated as each financial transaction is recorded in the daily journal. The technology and software for this is available right now but is not being used to its best advantage by managers. If used as suggested, managers are able to immediately become aware when things are not going according to plan. These persons who are responsible to the shareholders and owners can then make responsible decisions based upon this vital, up to the minute, information.
