What influence does information technology have on the development of human society?

Information technology has become the cornerstone of economic activities and social life. It has promoted the technological upgrading of traditional industries, changed the structure of labor force and promoted the progress of human civilization. Information technology represents the development direction of advanced productive forces today. The wide application of information technology makes information, an important factor of production and strategic resource, play a role, enabling people to optimize resource allocation more efficiently, thus promoting the continuous upgrading of traditional industries and improving social labor productivity and social operation efficiency.

Impact on social development.

With the wide application of information technology, it has caused profound changes in all aspects and fields of society, accelerated the development of social productive forces and improved people's quality of life.

Now people can share the fruits of social progress in time and reduce the differences brought by regional differences and economic development, which not only promotes cultural exchanges and learning between different countries and nationalities, but also makes culture more open and popular.

Influence on scientific and technological progress.

Information technology has promoted the change of new technology and greatly promoted the progress of science and technology. The application of computer technology helps people overcome one scientific problem after another, making it possible for computers to complete complex calculations that take decades or even hundreds of years to solve manually. The application of computer simulation technology can simulate all kinds of situations that may occur in reality and facilitate the verification of various scientific hypotheses. Information technology with microelectronics as the core has promoted the development of a number of cutting-edge technologies such as space development, new energy development and bioengineering. In addition, with the application of information technology in basic disciplines and its integration with other disciplines, the emergence and development of emerging disciplines (such as computational physics and computational chemistry) and interdisciplinary disciplines (such as artificial intelligence and e-commerce) have been promoted.

Influence on people's life and study.

The wide application of information technology has promoted the improvement of people's work efficiency and quality of life, and people's working methods and learning methods are also changing. People can know what's going on in the world without leaving home, and they can still do things without leaving home.
