Digitization is removing the need for human interface.
Digitization does not actually mean the elimination of human interface. Digitization is just a process of converting data and information into an electronic form that can be accessible through today's technological devices such as the computers. However, it does not totally eliminate the need for human interface. For instance, digitizing the banking processes such as deposits and withdrawal with the use of automated teller machines (ATM) may seem to us that ATMs eliminate the need for bank tellers to process our bank transactions. But, it may not be known to us that the ATMs won't work without human interface. This human interface happens when bank employees place money, on a regular basis, inside the ATMs before the machine becomes accessible to bank clients. Also, it is with human interface, through machine maintenance process by bank employees, that machines remain useable to people. In…...

Question 5
The decrease in funding for libraries and archives is a result of the decrease in the appreciation of the work that is done by these institutions. The archival profession must affirm their significance in keeping records for the public. This can be done by selective archiving. Archiving any form of information makes many potential financiers to view the profession as a simple storage option. If they focus on storing value information, people will be able to recognize their significance and justify the need for financing their activities.
The collapse of the archival profession is a threat to the archival professionals. Advocacy is one of the methods they can apply to promote their profession. These professionals must be vocal about the practices involved in their profession and their benefits. Most people view the archival profession from a literal perspective, as a practice that deals with the storage of old documents and…...

Cargo Security Management: How Digitization Can Help Safeguard the Shipping
Abstract
This paper examines how digitization can help safeguard the shipping industry by providing security monitoring of cargo, communications for shipping vessels, better surveillance for ports, and better protection through a number of technologies made possible by digitization services. Relevant literature is examined and perspectives on digitization are compared and contrasted to reveal strengths and weaknesses of the adoption of digitization in cargo security management. The paper concludes with a recommendation on whether digitization should be implemented in the industry or avoided because of costs to updating infrastructure.
Introduction
In the field of cargo security management, technology plays a pivotal role, not only in how shipping is managed but also in how far risk is mitigated and security established through systems-wide control mechanisms. To help protect cargo and supply chains, digitization has been shown to be an effective approach that can allow businesses and…...

Ehr in Healthcare
The emergency of the new information technology solutions in society and in business in the United States has been a game-changer in many ways. Just one of those things that has changed greatly is the shift towards digitization of records and processes in the healthcare sector. In the past, hard copy records and other physical methods were the norm and were in fact expected. However, there has been a shift towards making PDF or other digital file formats out of all records so that they can be shared and sent quickly rather than relying on physical handling such as from department to department or via the mail or other physical delivery means. While the kinks of the new digital healthcare paradigm are being worked out, it is absolutely the future and it is what the new norm should be.

Forensic Case Study
Enrique Camarena
The abduction of Enrique Camarena
The abduction of Enrique Camarena presents numerous interesting and unusual features regarding the gathering of forensic evidence. Many of obstacles that arose over the course of the investigation can be traced to the fact that the DEA Special Agent was apprehended in Mexico, where U.S. laws about preserving evidence did not apply. The Mexican police force (at least at the time of the abduction in 1984) was much more prone to corruption and bribery by persons engaged in illegal drug trafficking than U.S. law enforcement. ather than seeing to assist the DEA in bringing the murderers of Camarena to justice, the Mexican police often acted as obstacles, not assistants.
The real perpetrators of the murder of Camarena concocted a scheme with certain select members of the Mexican policy whereby Camarena's body (and the body of Capt. Alfredo Zavala, a Mexican DEA source) would be…...

Function Outsourcing
IT Function Outsourcing
The advancements in the field of information technology have paved way for digitization of operations and automation of functions. In the recent decade it has become a need which is the source of cost reduction, efficient operation and competitive advantage as well. This is the reason; almost every organization is seriously considering the option of introducing IT in its operations. Since information technology is the combination of computer technology and communication technology, it has specialised body of knowledge and people with specialised skills are required in the field. Many organizations have developed an altogether new department of IT to look after the routine operations, maintenance of IT hardware and software and perform support functions whenever required.
Keeping in view the vast scale at which IT operations are conducted and the standardized software tools coming in the market to meet the requirements of many organizations in general, IT experts…...

Physical vs. Digital GovernanceIntroductionIn recent years, the Greek government has undergone a remarkable digital transformation in order to better serve its citizens. Through initiatives like the Athenian Digital Strategy, the Greek government is using digital technologies, data analytics, and AI-supported technologies to optimize service delivery, engage with citizens more effectively and track progress on goals faster. This shift towards digitization has also opened up opportunities for more efficient and productive management of information within the public sector. A deeper exploration of this process must be informed by an understanding of the traditional Greek culture and attitudes towards governance and bureaucracy. Furthermore, attention must also be paid to how digital technologies have enabled processes such as e-permitting for businesses, streamlining supply chains, digitized taxation systems and more -- all of which are evidence of the nation\\\'s maturing digital capabilities and testament to their commitment towards modernizing their services in order to…...

III. The LIRARY
Librarians generally focus on one of three aspects of work in the library, which include: (1) user services; (2) technical services; and (3) administrative services. Librarians utilize the most recent information technology for conducting research, classification of materials, and assisting students and patrons in their search for information. Librarians must have a broad range of knowledge relating to scholarly and public information sources and "must follow trends related to publishing, computers, and the media in order to oversee the selection and organization of library materials." (U.S. Department of Labor, ureau of Labor Statistics, 2008) Responsibilities of the librarian include management of staff and development and direction of "...information programs and system for the public" (U.S. Department of…...

Information technology has advanced a long way since its invention and in today's hi-tech world; IT is continuously enhancing its ways towards comforts and luxuries. New thoughts and ideas are coming with every passing second, and what started as only a blurred vision, now became a necessity for all mankind. In this essay, a glimpse of the journey of IT is provided from the start till present and its effects over individual and social aspects. The journey begins with the digitization in 1950s. It was the time when overall, every machine was operated on the analogue system and there were no signs of digital information and communication technology. The history begins with the invention of transistor in the year 1947, which converts analogue signals into digital signals of binary format and can be used in many ways in electronic circuits. This invention really embarked its name in the field…...
In addition to that, the libraries also had to launch various training programs in order to ensure that their employees possess the appropriate skills that are being required by the operations and activities of the organization. (Foo, Chaudry, Majid & Logan, 2002)
Changing Demands of Users
Due to a significant change in the academic environment, an ever increasing emphasis was laid down on group work and self-study. The students, therefore, started looking for online information in the academic libraries. The libraries faced a challenge of increased consumer demand and had to work on customer services and proper and timely availability of information. The libraries needed to provide the consumers with user friendly services. They also had to analyze the changes in consumer demands and had to provide the services that best fit the requirements of changing academic world. (Maponya, 2004)

Effect of External and Internal Environment
Introduction
Organizations have both an internal and external environment. To begin with, the forces or circumstances within the borderline of the organization are the components of the internal environment. Notably, the internal environment comprises for the most part of the owners, employees, board of directors, stakeholders, and the corporate culture. On the other hand, factors that are extrinsic to the organization are the components of the external environment. It is imperative to note that these are elements that the organization bears no control of as they impact the entire the industry and therefore the organization cannot influence how such aspects will shape up (Nieuwenhuizen, Badenhorst-Weiss, and Rossouw, 2008). On the other hand, factors within the internal environment are those that the organization can control and have an effect on how they will turn out to be. The external environment is categorized into the general environment and…...

Healthcare organizations must prioritize the following strategies to effectively address these concerns:
1. Implementation of Comprehensive Security Measures:
Employ firewalls, intrusion detection systems, and encryption technologies to protect data from unauthorized access.
Establish access controls and multi-factor authentication to limit data exposure to authorized personnel only.
Regularly update software, operating systems,....
The digitization of money has revolutionized the way we conduct financial transactions, providing convenience and security, but also raising concerns about data privacy, financial exclusion, and potential for increased surveillance.
One way in which the digitization of money can impact financial inclusion in developing countries is by providing greater access to financial services for individuals who may not have access to traditional banking systems. Digitized financial services, such as mobile money platforms, can reach individuals in remote areas where brick-and-mortar banks may not have a presence.
Additionally, digitized money can lower the costs associated with banking services, making them more affordable for....
Impact of Digitization of Money on Financial Inclusion in Developing Countries
1. Increased Accessibility:
Digital money eliminates the need for physical bank branches and infrastructure, making it easier for people in remote or underserved areas to access financial services. Mobile money platforms, for example, allow individuals to open accounts, transfer funds, and make payments using their mobile phones, even without a formal bank account.
2. Reduced Transaction Costs:
Digitization of money significantly reduces transaction costs associated with traditional banking, such as cash withdrawals, deposits, and remittances. Digital payments platforms typically offer lower fees and faster processing times, making it more affordable for individuals to....
