Description: Impact refers to the effect or influence that one system or component has on another. In the context of technology, impact can manifest in various ways, such as improving efficiency, creating new opportunities, transforming existing processes, or altering behaviors and habits. This concept is fundamental to understanding how technological innovations affect organizations, society, and the environment. Impact can be positive, such as increased productivity and accessibility to information, or negative, such as the obsolescence of certain job skills or the generation of privacy and security issues. Impact assessment is crucial for informed decision-making in the development and implementation of new technologies, as well as for formulating policies that regulate their use and promote responsible adoption.
