Introduction
On February 22, I received approval to
perform a study on how best to “Stay
Current with The Trends in
Technology.”
Introduction Cont.
The IT field requires constant learning in order to
remain competitive in the field because,
everyone who revolves around the IT field knows
that technology is constantly changing.
For instance, it was Gordon Moore who stated,
“the number of components on a computer
processor would continue to double about every
two years.”

Research
1. According to my studies I found it necessary to
choose an area of interest, because of the
numerous subjects in technology. Including the
following technologies: software & hardware,
securities, and standards.
2. Next, I identified the resources available:
◦ Internet
◦ Textbooks and manuals
◦ Periodicals
Research Cont.
The internet contains an abundance of information. Due
to its ease of access an wealth of information the
internet will be my best resource. Containing numerous
articles and forum discussions.
Next, periodicals contain the latest news from people in
the IT field. For example, Augusta Technical College
contains a limited selection of IT works to draw
information. There are also free subscriptions to
periodicals available for IT people.
Research Cont.
Finally, technical documentation is quickly outdated. Textbooks and manuals are good for people just getting into the field. However, that information would soon enough be considered outmoded.
3. After acquiring my research I prioritized and identified the relevant information. Focusing on the most valuable points.
4. Finally, after analyzing my findings I prepared a recommendation.

Recommendation
I recommend the internet utilizing its articles and
discussion forums. It will serve as an IT workers
best means of getting information. However, I
would still include all my resources, so as not to
miss out on any opportunities available in the job
market.
