Information Technologies have been conceptualized as the integration and convergence of computing microelectronics, telecommunications and technology for data processing, its main components are: the human factor, the contents of the information, equipment, physical infrastructure The software and mechanisms for electronic exchange of information, elements of policy and regulations and financial resources.

Is the information between computers, networks, integrated digital services, satellite transmission and trans-border data flow global problems of mankind and a serious political question of unpredictable social and economic conscience?

If we analyze these components, we realize that the key roles of software development in a society for their development both as to its application, as well recognized as the information technologies are the core of a multidimensional transformation experienced by the economy and society, hence the importance of the study and mastery of the influences that such a transformation requires humans as social beings, as it tends to change not only their habits and behavior patterns, but even their way of thinking .

The person who develops a program called a programmer, and need not necessarily be the same as making use of the program. This second person is called user. In fact, most users do not need advanced computer skills to use the programs. For example, a user does not need to know that almost all programs can be classified into three main categories: application software, system software and networking software.

Application Software. Most software users do not have programming skills, but do know how to use the programs running, such as word processors, database managers, spreadsheets, games. These programs fall under the category of application software, also called user applications, or simply application. Program alone may be a computer application. However, it is normal that the term refers to an application software composed of a set of interrelated programs. The applications that “help in the work to humans” are considered software tools.

System Software. In addition to the application programs, there are many others that may go unnoticed to the average user. Of these, the most important are the operating system, which enables the machine to operate because, manages the hardware resources requested by applications. The operating system serves as an intermediary (interface) between programs and computer. So that, when a user runs a program, it asks the operating system you want to perform actions on the machine to suit the user.

In a sense, the operating system is responsible for coordinating users, applications and hardware. Some of the most widely used operating systems today are: Linux, MS-DOS, UNIX, Windows XP, … These programs fall under the category of computer system software.

Network Software Besides the two previously mentioned types of programs (application and system) is also important to know the existence of a third category, called network software. It includes programs related to the interconnection of computers, i.e which programs to run computer networks. Among other things, network programs enable communication between computers, sharing of resources (software and hardware) and help control the security of these resources.

Amazon has withdrawn an e-book from your online store after receiving complaints and threats of boycott, according to media reports released Thursday.

Amazon initially defended the book in a statement but later withdrew it from its online store after a campaign against them from spreading through social networks Twitter, Facebook and other means.

Colleen Curtis, a mother who works as director of sales and marketing for an investment fund company in Mississauga, Canada, circulated the protest message to friends on Facebook.

Pedophilia is a crime, not a sexual preference and should not be protected by freedom of expression, told Reuters in an email. “I’m disgusted by moral and ethical content and misjudgment by the complete lack of remorse and Amazon make this information available to the public,” he said.

The title of the book appeared Thursday at the Web site of the company, but a subsequent message saying “Sorry. The web address you entered is not a functioning page on our site.”

There was no immediate comment on the reports by Amazon, which is based in Seattle, despite repeated requests from Reuters.
