The Relevance (Why the course is being taught)

As computing technologies continue to rapidly advance in the last two decades, the knowledge economy has become an important part of the overall world economy.

In addition to its significant contribution to economic growth, computing technologies also have a profound impact on many aspects of society.

The digital economy represents the pervasive use of IT (hardware, software, applications and telecommunications) in all aspects of the economy, including internal operations of organizations (business, government and non-profit); transactions between organizations; and transactions between individuals, acting both as consumers and citizens, and organizations.

Just as 100 years ago the development of cheap, hardened steel enabled a host of tools to be made that drove economic growth, today information technology enables the creation of a host of tools to create, manipulate, organize, transmit, store and act on information in digital form in new ways and through new organizational forms (Cohen, Delong, Weber, and Zysman 2001)
