Even worse, the technology supplying signals from NYFD commanders to firefighters in the field were never properly tested in high-rise emergency scenarios. Had they been appropriately tested in advance, the NYFD could probably have avoided the greatest loss of life among its service members in the organization's long history in September of 2001 because evacuation orders would have been received by hundreds of personnel inside the Twin Towers before they collapsed (DeGuttry, 2009). Naturally, the appropriate advice would be to develop, test, and deploy a better communications system in New York City emergency management agencies.
In fact, that forensic analysis led directly to the design and implementation of an entirely new Network Centric Command: Communication and Information system. According to DeGuttry (2009):
"Network Centric Command is an information-sharing component for first responders. It allows first responders to connect with each other and links the Fire
Department Operation Center (FDOC) to other emergency operations centers.
The use of this system allows for the immediate exchange of relevant information between all parties involved. It is imperative that this system be updated at regular intervals in order to be used effectively and efficiently under...
The Network Command uses voice, data, and video for situational awareness and all of these elements are indispensable for the Incident
Commander. Specifically, the Incident Commander will use portable systems
(e.g., post radios, cellular phones, satellites, sound-powered phones), mobile systems (e.g., borough dispatchers VHF radio, 800 MHz radio, vehicle cross-band repeaters), and auxiliary radio communication systems (e.g., subway repeaters, coaxial cables) as voice systems; helicopter videos and Command Tactical Units
(CTU) as video systems; and, the Fire Department Operations Center (FDOC),
Electronic Command Boards, Critical Response Information Management
Systems (CRIMS), Electronic Riding Lists, and 3-D Firefigher Tracking as data systems in order to relay important and relevant information."

Processing examples are conversion of encoded or typed words to printable format or running of computer programs such as the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). Lastly, controlling ensures that all other four operations of the computer are efficiently working together, while at the same time, ensuring also that each operation does not interfere with the other operations. Examples of control measures in the computer are warnings or prompts
Information Technology Acts What were the advances in information technology that resulted in new ethical issues necessitating the creation of each act? One of the common challenges that most regulations will face is keeping up with the changes in the technology. As the law, is designed to provide everyone with some kind of protection against potential abuse. However, improvements in technology have transformed the way that everyone is living their daily lives.
Information Technology (IT) is a broad-based term that includes a combination of the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of information in a computing or telecommunications platform. In terms of a scientific discipline, it is relatively new, appearing in a 1958 article in the Harvard Business Review in which the authors said, "this new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology (IT)" (Dunn,
Nanotechnology attempted to show the potential of this new technology and included the wide range of fields that are connected to the concept of the nanometer scale. These include machining, imaging, metrology or measurement, micromachines, instrumentation and machine tools, scanning probe microscopy, fabrication of components, nanoelectronics, molecular engineering, among others. (Journal Review: Nanotechnology) Another important step in the development of this technology in both a practical and theoretical sense was
In the nursing field, there is becoming a concept such as the digital divide among nurses. Even though many nurses are familiar with the Internet and access it on a daily basis, there are some nurses who are familiar with other emerging technologies as it pertains to nursing and there are some nurses who feel that navigating the Internet is the only technology they need to know (Lupianez-Villanueva et
