World Information Community Day

On March 27, 2006, the UN General Assembly adopted a Resolution in which it proclaimed May 17 the World Information Society Day.



This day is a professional holiday of all programmers, system administrators, Internet providers, web designers, editors of Internet publications and all other people working in the field of information technology.



Information technology has significantly changed the face of civilization. They produced a real explosion in the global economy, resulting in a sharp increase in the quantity and quality of products. The value of computer science, the field of human activity related to the processes of transforming information using computers and other computer equipment, is much broader. It provides mankind with incredible luxury before: information and knowledge become the main riches, unprecedented opportunities of self-education are opening up.

Until 2006, this Day was celebrated as the International Telecommunication Day or World Telecommunications Day (World Telecommunication Day). This holiday has been celebrated since 1969 by the decision of the session of the Administrative Council of the International Telecommunication Union.



The date was chosen due to the fact that on May 17, 1865, after two and a half months of difficult negotiations, the first international Telegraph Agreement was signed in Paris, and the International Telegraph Union was founded, since 1932 - the International Telecommunication Union.

And therefore, since there is such an opportunity, I want to congratulate all habrovchan, all colleagues and in general all brothers in mind with a professional holiday. For some, this is another reason to drink (and even on Monday), for someone this day will be just as usual productive / unproductive as it always is ... "Regatta is a regatta, and traditions cannot be broken!" So, walk, rejoice, hint employees on cookies or something stronger. Grow above yourself, be professionals, respect each other and let your desires and possibilities coincide as often as possible.



PS Do not forget to congratulate your IT friends! Surely everyone has friends IT professionals :)
