Introduction
Information technology has transformed the political, social, and economic practices of individuals in modern societies. To be specific, it has changed the traditional methods of sending and receiving information. People are now able to communicate instantly despite geographical barriers or time inconveniences. Most importantly, information technology aided by mobile applications has improved social interactions and group adoption by different demographics in urban regions. Moreover, the concept of high-definition implemented in 1990 has been useful in depicting improved message practices enhanced by digital video formats. This literature review aims to evaluate the contribution of information technology in effective communication among social groups aided by the HD concept adopted in 1990.
Group Adoption and Usage by the Social Sector
Definition
Group adoption of information technology has attracted different social sectors which provide essential services related to human dignity (Horstman, Colaner & Rittenour, 2016). These sectors include community or society-based institutions, local and international non-governmental organizations, foundations, and faith-based entities (Bayerl, Lauche & Axtell, 2016). Internet knowledge in digital communication has transformed social interactions among associated stakeholders working on community projects (Yu, Lin & Liao, 2017). Group adoption and usage are vital in this research as it identifies the objective adoption of digital technologies by varying social groups (Taherdoost, 2018). Enhanced communication practices have ensured timely and accurate delivery of information from a sender to recipient.
General Research and Specific Area of Study
Information technology in communication practices has affected different economic and social sectors. In essence, the concept of HD adopted in 1990 has been useful in promoting content sharing between remotely located persons (Widjaja, Chen, Ha & Lin, 2017). Individuals can share graphics, such as images and videos using portable devices. Digital formats of communication present vivid evidence of claims as expected in criminal proceedings. It implies that social groups can advance significant announcements among stakeholders in facilitating institutions’ establishment (Garcia de Sierra, Estevez-Cid & Cuenca-Castillo, 2018). This research specifies group adoption of information technology among stakeholders of humanitarian organizations. A systematic approach of this review is objective in highlighting improvements made regarding communication efficiency among social groups.
The Concept of HD Adopted in 1990
High-definition improves digital communication as it allows accurate sending and receiving of texts and graphics. The HD concept of 1990 was integrated into information systems to improve accuracy in the timely sending and receiving of messages (Kroenung, Eckhardt & Kuhlenkasper, 2017). The literature review ensures a critical systematic review to assess how social groups have benefited from information technology. Social groups have adopted digital formats of information required to execute policies entailing human dignity (Theis & Wong, 2017). The sharing of data requiring benevolent action is critical to communication practices of foundations and charitable institutions.
Personal View on the Subject
Social entities represent medium-scale integration of digital innovation in mobile applications. Group adoption and usage of information technology in communication practices have improved humanitarian services by charitable organisations (Yu et al., 2017). This literature review determines how social groups have bettered operations’ inconsistency and relevance using digital innovations (Imran, Salisu, Aslam, Iqbal & Hameed, 2019). Coordination of volunteers in the frontline requires responsive frameworks of communication in modern times. A systematic review is essential for identifying specific improvement variables entailing the efficient delivery of altruistic services to needy communities. The adoption of the HD concept in 1990 was instrumental in advancing information technology in digital communiqué (Horstman et al., 2016). Traditional methods of communication towards the end of the 20th century entailed sending and receiving written information in remote communication letters. However, digital formats of files have improved content sharing as individuals use common platforms to relay a message.
