CONCEPT OF THE COMPUTING AND INFORMATION
It refers to the scientific study developed on automated information management systems, which is carried out through tools designed for that purpose. It is in this way that concepts such as PC, Technology, Internet and Computing appear, which are linked together in the framework of information processing and mobility. Computer science is a very deep area of analysis, having its origins in 1920, when "computation" referred to the calculations generated by the person himself. Then, with the arrival of the PCs, the history and meaning of this concept would be expanded on new horizons, distinguishing the algorithms that are part of the development of solutions. In short, "computation" implies the orders and solutions dictated in a machine, including the analysis of the factors involved in this process, within which the programming languages appear. In this way, tasks are automated, generating concrete data in an orderly way.
ORIGIN
Informatics is a term that was invented by Phillipe Dreyfus in France in 1962 and accepted by the French Academa in 1966. In Spain he accepted it in 1968. This term comes from the French word.
Phillipe Dreyfus (1925)
The dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy is defined as, set of scientific and technical knowledge that make possible the automatic treatment of information by means of computers.
Conceptually, it can be understood as that discipline in charge of the study of methods, processes, techniques, developments of computers in order to store, process and transmit information and data in digital format.
RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPUTER SCIENCE
In computing the fundamentals of computer science, programming and methodologies for software development, computer architecture, data networks (such as the Internet), artificial intelligence and certain issues related to electronics converge. It can be understood by computing the union of all this set of disciplines.
OTHER DEFINITION
It refers to the automatic processing of information through electronic devices and computer systems. Computer systems must be able to perform three basic tasks: entry (gathering of information), processing and output (transmission of results). The set of these three tasks is known as the algorithm. Informatics brings together many of the techniques that man has developed with the aim of enhancing his capacities of thought, memory and communication. Its area of application has no limits: IT is used in business management, information storage, process control, communications in transport, medicine and many other sectors. Computer science also covers the major foundations of computer science, such as programming for software development, architecture of computers and hardware networks such as the internet and artificial intelligence. It even applies in various electronics subjects.
