INTRODUCTION
At the very beginning to discuss about the impact of computer technology in Bangladesh,
we should first know what the computer and computer technology is. A computer is aprogrammablemachinethat receives input, stores and manipulates data/information, and
provides output in a useful format. Computer technology is the activity of designing and
constructing and programming computers. In Bangladesh though the computer
technology has not reached to its pinnacle as in the developed countries in respect to the
use and/or utility, but it is developed much in the recent years. Now a day the people of
urban areas of Bangladesh are largely using the facilities of computer technology while
amongst the others, internet facilities are the major one.
Computer technology has changed the speed of work as well as life in both organizational
and individual sector. Now, many of the works of an organization is automated because
of the advanced computer technology and adaptation of that technology in the
organization. As the organizations are using the computer technology, normally the speed
of overall work process is much faster now and it is having its broad and positive effect
on our national economy. In individual aspect, computer technology has brought an
evolution in working and communication. Now a person usually doesnt go for a physical
mail and largely depends on e-mail if he/she has the availability of a computer and the
internet support. Writing of something even if it is an informal one is being written by
computer and the hand writing is almost vanished in the market. In Bangladesh, where a
small scale shop carried its record keeping activities manually even a few years back,
now it is carrying the same job with a computer more efficiently.
In a simple way, we can say that the modern computer technology and its adaptation in
Bangladesh has been changed the overall working style of organizations and the
individuals in a large scale and brought a faster lifestyle.
We will discuss the Impact of computer technology and its impact in Bangladesh more
elaborately in the rest of this report.

FINDINGS
The first computer ever installed in Bangladesh was an IBM 1620 Series Mainframe and
that was in the 1964 at the then Pakistan Atomic Commission. In 1969 an IBM 360 series
Computer was installed at the Bureau of Statistics. After independence The Bureau of
Statistics installed some more computers for their organization. The early 1990s have
seen a wide growth in the worldwide IT industry and Bangladesh is no different. The
introduction of Internet and also the internationally renowned IT training institutes
opened their branches in Bangladesh which interested the youths and that also created
awareness not only to the individuals but also to the businesses as well. Although IT
industry has come a long way it is always been an argument if Bangladesh has really
achieved what other countries for example the neighboring India has. In this paper we
will try to investigate if there has really been the IT Revolution in Bangladesh.
The IT awareness actually known to have grown among the public as Bangladesh
connected itself to the World Wide Web. Although there were a few services providers
providing offline internet service that only allowed emails and BBS (Bulletin Board
Service) facilities, only in 1996 with a license from Bangladesh Telegraph and Telephone
Board (BTTB) ISN started its first online internet service in Bangladesh and were soon
followed by Grameen Cyber net and Proshika. And finally on 21 st May 2006 Bangladesh
was connected to the high speed Submarine cable (Fiber Optic), an idea once abandoned
by the government. Bangladesh has also seen some massive changes in the Mobile
Communications industry. Most of the country is now enjoying Mobile telephone
services using public and private sector service providers.
BTRC has the power to grant license to establish and operate telecommunications systemin Bangladesh. The Commission is also responsible to grant licenses to the Internet
Service Providers (ISP) and grant the use of VSAT in Bangladesh.

DEVELOPMENT OF TECHNOLOGY (5 Generations)
First Generation (1940-1956) Vacuum Tubes
The first computers used vacuum tubes for circuitry and magnetic drums formemory,
and were often enormous, taking up entire rooms. They were very expensive to operate
and in addition to using a great deal of electricity, generated a lot of heat, which was
often the cause of malfunctions.
First generation computers relied on machine language, the lowest-level programming
language understood by computers, to perform operations, and they could only solve one
problem at a time. Input was based on punched cards and paper tape, and output was
displayed on printouts. The UNIVAC andENIAC computers are examples of first-
generation computing devices. The UNIVAC was the first commercial computer
delivered to a business client, the U.S. Census Bureau in 1951.
Second Generation (1956-1963) Transistors
Transistors replaced vacuum tubes and ushered in the second generation of computers.
The transistor was invented in 1947 but did not see widespread use in computers until the
late 1950s. The transistor was far superior to the vacuum tube, allowing computers to
become smaller, faster, cheaper, more energy-efficient and more reliable than their first-
generation predecessors. Though the transistor still generated a great deal of heat that
subjected the computer to damage, it was a vast improvement over the vacuum tube.
Second-generation computers still relied on punched cards for input and printouts for
output.
Second-generation computers moved from crypticbinary machine language to symbolic,
orassembly, languages, which allowed programmers to specify instructions in
words.High-level programming languages were also being developed at this time, such

as early versions ofCOBOLandFORTRAN. These were also the first computers that
stored their instructions in their memory, which moved from a magnetic drum to
magnetic core technology.
The first computers of this generation were developed for the automatic energy industry.
Third Generation (1964-1971) Integrated Circuits
The development of the integrated circuit was the hallmark of the third generation of
computers. Transistors were miniaturized and placed on silicon chips, called
semiconductors, which drastically increased the speed and efficiency of computers.
Instead of punched cards and printouts, users interacted with third generation computers
throughkeyboards and monitors and interfaced with an operating system, which allowed
the device to run many different applications at one time with a central program that
monitored the memory. Computers for the first time became accessible to a mass
audience because they were smaller and cheaper than their predecessors.
Fourth Generation (1971-Present) Microprocessors
The microprocessorbrought the fourth generation of computers, as thousands of
integrated circuits were built onto a single silicon chip. What in the first generation filled
an entire room could now fit in the palm of the hand. The Intel 4004 chip, developed in
1971, located all the components of the computerfrom the central processing unit and
memory to input/output controlson a single chip. In 1981IBMintroduced its first
computer for the home user, and in 1984 Apple introduced the Macintosh.
Microprocessors also moved out of the realm of desktop computers and into many areas
of life as more and more everyday products began to use microprocessors.
As these small computers became more powerful, they could be linked together to form
networks, which eventually led to the development of the Internet. Fourth generation
computers also saw the development of GUIs, the mouse and handheld devices.

Fifth Generation (Present and Beyond) Artificial Intelligence
Fifth generation computing devices, based on artificial intelligence, are still in
development, though there are some applications, such asvoice recognition, that are
being used today. The use ofparallel processingand superconductors is helping to make
artificial intelligence a reality.
Quantum computation and molecular and nanotechnology will radically change the face
of computers in years to come. The goal of fifth-generation computing is to develop
devices that respond to natural language input and are capable of learning and self-
organization.
WiMax and Mobile Internet Technology
Three bidders Bangla Lion Communication, BRAC BD Mail Network Ltd and Augere
Wireless Broadband Bangladesh Ltd -- won the WiMax licenses through an auction
organized by the Bangladesh Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) in
September last year. However, BRAC later refused to take the license. WiMax is a
technology that provides wireless transmission of data using a variety of transmission
modes from point-to-multipoint links to portable and fully mobile internet access. The
technology supports peak download rates of up to 46 Mbps and peak uplink rates of up to
14 Mbps.
Augere Wireless Broadband Bangladesh Ltd yesterday launched the much-awaited
wireless broadband service through WiMax in some designated areas in Dhaka. Augere,
one of the two WiMax licensees, is the first company in Bangladesh to launch such
service under the brand name 'Qubee'. Augere is initially offering two packages. Initially,
the Qubee service is available for businesses and residential customers in Gulshan,
Banani, Baridhara, Mirpur and Uttara. Qubee will be available across Bangladesh soon.

In the final analysis we can say that, Wireless Communication revolution is becoming a
vital element for our country day by day. These wireless technologies create a great
impact to our country. All of these WiMax companies and mobile internet service
providers are providing high speeds facilitate a superior internet browsing experience
with video streaming, video surveillance, and rich media content. WiMax companies are
a new company with Integrity, Dynamism, Commitment and Innovation who
continuously developing our infrastructure starting in Dhaka and some major cities, thus
bringing the whole country under coverage. All of these wireless service providers are
passionate about their products, services and customers. They are committed to develop
new services, products and facilities to meet client requirements whilst undertaking
infrastructure improvements on our existing systems. All of them believe that, in this ever
changing world, Bangladesh is changing and these wireless technologies will remain
focus to our needs and they are bringing to us a smooth and nonstop online access to the
world of information, excitement, fun and lifestyle.
Budget Allocation
In last years non-development budget, Tk. 100 crore was specially allocated for
development of ICT sector. Out of that amount, 18 programs worth Tk. 90 crore arebeing implemented. I propose an allocation of TK.112 crore in FY2010-11 from non-
development budget. Alongside, I propose to allocate another Tk. 200 crore in the
existing Equity and Entrepreneurship Fund to promote entrepreneurship in the IT sector.
Finance Minister AMA Muhith
IT leaders Sunday (June 13, 2010) urged the government to extend income tax exemption
facilities for the IT services industries until 2021 to attract more investment in the sector.
The income tax exemption incentive for the IT industries which is allowed till 2011
should be extended by 10 more years, they said at a post-budget press conference in the
city.

Industry leaders also called for reducing the internet bandwidth price from Tk 18,000 to
Tk 7,000 with a view to making internet more affordable to the people. "With the reduced
price, we can offer broadband internet at even Tk 300 to the rural people," said the
President of internet service providers association Akhteruzzaman Manju.
USE IN DAILY LIFE
Corporate Sector
Like others countries computer technology is vastly used in every sector of Bangladesh
also. In the corporate sector no one can think about a single day without computerbecause computer became one of the most important instruments for completing any
kinds of tasks.
In the office there should be a record of every employee and their daily routines. These
records are kept by the computer software. So that the record became easier to maintain
and the possibility of error has been reduced. In the previous time if there are more than
hundred employees then it was a great disaster to keep the record but now it is very easy
to keep the record of more than thousands employees by computer.
Not only that but also all of the works of the corporate sector are controlled by the
computer software. Specially all of the private banks of Bangladesh have become
computerized now. The government banks are on processing to become computerized.
On the other hand presentation is one of the main aspects of the corporate life. In the
presentation there could be some graphical views which can make the whole thing more
visible. It is very easy to create the graphical views of the thing by computer software. By
computers it became easier to make the thing clear to the recipients so that they could
easily understand the thing and they can make a decision earlier about the project. So, we
can say that in the corporate sector computer technology has added a new face to go
ahead.

Education Sector
Education is the backbone of a nation so it is one of the most important sectors for a
country. As a developing country Bangladesh has recently introduced computer
technology in the education sector. But within a very few days in the urban areas the
technology has became very popular in the education sector.
The kids are now memorizing lots of poems and stories by the computer. They are taught
from the very route level about manners for example: how to talk, how to play, how to
behave etc. Children love to see cartoons in the computer by which they can easily learn
English language which is very important.
Now our S.S.C and H.S.C examination copies are checked by computer software which
is a revolutionary step in the education sector. As a result it has become possible to give
the result within a very short time. Now it is very easy to sort out the percentage of
passing students for every division.
In the higher studies it is just impossible to think about education without computertechnology. Teachers provide their lectures by the multimedia in the universities.
Sometimes the class can be cancelled for some unavoidable circumstances, then the
faculties post the notice in the website of the university, or they can provide the notice by
email. Students have different presentations and then the computer software is needed.
Medical Sector
As a developing country Bangladesh is just improving in medical science. In this sector
computer technology has added new face so that there is a very rapid improvement.
Business Communication - 9 -
8/6/2019 Main Body New
10/18
Now all kinds of blood tests, X-ray reports are made by computer technology. As a result
the chance of mistake has been reduced and people get their reports soon. So that, people
can easily starts their treatment according to the diseases.
Computer technology is helping to provide treatment for different types of dangerous
diseases. Doctors are able to create new medicines and the computer technology is
helping to increase the face of the pharmacy sector of Bangladesh also.
Transportation Sector
The improvement in computer technology has brought a drastic change in the
transportation sector. Now traffic control has become easier. Sometimes there is no need
of the traffic police. Only the automatic traffic signals are there. Consequently now there
are traffic cameras which can detect any types of problem in the road and these cameras
can be executed without any person. Main thing is that still now this system has not yet
developed that much. But the research are going ahead to improve this system.
On the other hand the plane navigation, ship navigation has become easier. Computer
technology has facilitate a country like Bangladesh to improve their transportation systemin such a way so that we can expect that we are going to be one of the most improved
countries in the transportation sector in near future.
Research & Development
Research and Development is one of the most important part of any country because by
this a country can invent new technologies, new ways to do the things. In Bangladesh
research and development sector has improved a lot because of computer technology.
In the education sector the methods of studies are invented. In the medical sector new
medicines and new methods of treatment are invented. The transportation system is also
Business Communication - 10 -
8/6/2019 Main Body New
11/18
getting improved by the computer technology. It is getting possible because new research
and development are taking place by modern computer technology.
Mobile Technology
At present mobile is the most popular instrument which we use in our daily life. We can
not think about one day without mobile phone. The mobile technology is also getting
improved by computer technology. In Bangladesh mobile technology has improved a lot
in a very short period of time. One of the biggest telecom company Grameen Phone has
started an Information Center where you can get each and every types of information by
mobile phone. On the other hand they have a virtual market called cell bazaar where
people can get idea about a product and they can buy or sell a product by cell bazaar as
well. Consequently by mobile technology people now can consultant with a doctor about
any types of diseases within a very short period of time. In some telecom company there
are several numbers where a general person can call and consult with a specialist doctor
about his/her physical problem. So we can say that computer technology is one of the
main things which are assisting the mobile technology to go ahead.
MISUSE OF COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY
Waste of time & Skill
People are wasting their time by using computer technology, for example now there are
many things like Face book, Orcut etc. By these website people used to create a good
bonding with old friends and new ones as well. But if a person is spending his/her whole
day in Face book or these kinds of thing then that would be a misuse of computer
technology. Particularly students are spending their precious time by these things which
Business Communication - 11 -
8/6/2019 Main Body New
12/18
are really a bad impact of computer technology. On the other hand, the level of skill of
the people is going down because which task can be done by the people by their own,
people use technology there. So that the thinking ability is hampering and the working
ability is destroying.
Health Problem
Computer Technology is now used in our daily life. For example: Corporate life,
Education life etc. So we have to spend a lot of time with computers by seating in same
place which is very bad for health. These are the main reason for back pain. On the other
hand when a person is using computer then a kind of light is affecting his/her eyes which
is really bad for eyes. Now children are also using glasses from a very small age one of
the main reason of that problem is computer technology. Children play the computer
games for a long time. As a result they look at the computer which basically hampers
their eyesight. The children are now much more interested for playing the computer
games. As a result they do not go out and day by day the field games are ruining. They
are getting deprived from the exercise as a result their body movement is reduced.
Increase Plagiarism
The plagiarism has increased due to the computer technology because it is very easy to
cut copy and paste anything. In the universities faculties provide different case studies
and projects so that students could relate their studies with the real life examples but
sometimes students just cut copy and paste from the old projects. As a result their
learning is being incomplete. Moreover one of the most popular words in the computer
world is Hacking. By hacking the corporate server people come to know about the secrets
of the company which is a dangerous situation for any type of company. On the other
hand the educational server is also getting hacked, so that the question paper leak out has
occurred for several times even it is a normal situation for Bangladesh. Consequently the
bank server can also be hacked by which people come to know about the information
about the personal account, credit card etc. By hacking the bank server hackers can easily
transfer money from different account from any part of the world. In the media sector the
Business Communication - 12 -

13/18
movies are getting hacked and sell at low price so that after releasing the movie that can
not earn their expected revenue.
CONCLUSION
Like others countries in the world, computer technology is vastly used in every sector of
Bangladesh. We should use computers for the well being of our society and mankind and
not for destructive purposes. The government of Bangladesh has recognized IT as one of
the thrust sectors and is eager to provide all possible supports for the development of this
sector. Due to withdrawal of taxes from computer, prices of computer and computer
related items dropped drastically and became affordable to general communities. A
tremendous progress is going on in the e-commerce, e-governance, computer networking,
Internet, web browsing, web applications, multimedia product development etc. Our
country can take advantage of its immense manpower for the betterment of this sector.
Despite some difficulties, it is expected that computer applications in Bangladesh would
not only spread to various private and public sector organizations, but also would emerge
as a regional hub for software development.

RECOMMENDATION
Currently there is no copyright protection law for software industry in Bangladesh, which
deters foreign firms to outsource software from Bangladesh. Without intellectual property
rights, we cannot expect massive growth in this sector. So the government should enact
and implement the copyright protection act to ban the use of all pirated software in both
public and private organizations.
People should use computer technology for the betterment of mankind and society.
Students should utilize the benefit of internet for learning and gaining knowledge and not
for plagiarism purpose. The parents and teacher should be aware of the fact that the
children must not use most of their valuable times in internet relay chatting or playing
games on computers.
The government and private sector can arrange more frequent computer oriented fair,
debate competition, programming contest etc. all over the country to aware people about
the state of the art technologies of IT sector. They can organize road shows to introduce
computers in the rural part of the country. The IT and computer fair in not only aware the
current customer base, but it is also helpful for computer related business firms to capture
the potential target buyers.
A significant number of citizens live in the rural part of the country. Without them the
proper development of the countrys economic growth is not possible. Almost all the IT
related developments which have taken place during the last few years are concentrated
only in the capital city. Our rural part of the country is extremely deprived of the
computer and information technology. The government, non government or the donor
agencies can extend their support to provide proper infrastructure and facilities in the
Business Communication - 14 -
8/6/2019 Main Body New
15/18
rural areas. They can arrange free computer learning course to the literate youth group.
Also they can set up community information center like the Grameen phone to introduce
computer and internet technology in the financially constrained part of the country.
It has been revealed that almost 90% of the computer related marketplaces are Dhaka
oriented and people resides outside Dhaka has to come to here for buying computer
related accessories. So there has to be some policy on the decentralization of these PCs to
regions outside of Dhaka. Another thing is that in Dhaka there are only two computer
related shopping centers IDB Bhaban and Elephant road. So the private sector should
come forward to establish more shops in different areas of Dhaka as well as Bangladesh
to reduce the hassle of general people.
Although the government has exempted all duties and taxes from hardware and software
related accessories, still price per pc is not affordable to most of the general communities.
So the government can create middle to long term special funds for giving interest-free
loans to professionals and students.
There are very few standard institutes who are giving high quality IT education in
Bangladesh. But most of their costs are so high that they are barely within the reach of
general people. Many private organizations have opened independent institutes which are
running with lack of proper syllabus and lack of acceptable technical qualities. Another
thing is that still many graduates lack computer literacy and the course curricula for
computer related subjects do not reflect market needs. So the authority should Introduce
'Basic computer skills' as a compulsory subject for all students starting from the primary
to the graduation level.
Due to the failure of the government, Bangladesh could not able to obtain a link to the
sub-marine cable. The results are low band width and slow internet speed. To solve this
acute problem the government should formulate proper policies to improve the proper
functioning of the countrys communication sector.

Experience of other countries shows, that it is very difficult to achieve success in
exporting software unless there is a large domestic market. So the government can
computerize all its ministries and departments using our own developed software as a
part of the Digital Bangladesh program.
Many countries of the world are not aware of the Bangladeshi software industry because
there is no fund allocated for the promotion of our IT sector to the overseas market. As a
result, Bangladesh is losing a significant number of potential buyers and foreign currency
in the IT sector. The government can create a Market Promotion Fund to meet the
expenses of promoting Bangladesh as a potential source of software and data Processing
zone.
