Directions: Read the following three passages and answer the questions by choosing the best choice (1), (2), (3), or (4). Then mark the correct choice on your answer sheet. PASSAGE 1: While the COVID-19 pandemic has yet to fully play-out, it's had a profound impact on how we work, play and rest. New Electronics takes a look at the technologies that could drive change going forward. The COVID-19 pandemic has forced businesses to turn to technology to enable production to continue and for dispersed teams to work from home and communicate, via platforms like Zoom or Teams. According to Mike Britehfield, VP Sales, EMEA, Analog Devices, as the crisis has impacted the private sector as a whole, "digitalization or digital transformation" is now front and centre. The business opportunities that the pandemic has created are expected to have a significant impact on how people work, rest and play. "Communications has seen increased demand. even more so as it appears that the trend towards working from home is going to require a more robust and effective communications infrastructure," said Britehfield. "Wireless networks and overall connectivity are two areas where remote working is going to have a significant impact both now and in the not-so-distant future." "The daily commute is something that nobody really enjoys and there will be more companies who see the value in either integrating or expanding an existing remote workforce," Britchfield continued. "Teleworking will likely increase as COVID-19 has made this option an essential tool in terms of how certain teams communicate and collaborate with cach other. "By the same chalk. Industry 4.0 has been part of the business optimization conversation for almost a decade now, but the adoption of next-gen technology has remained - on some levels - a work-in-progress." According to Britehfield, COVID-19 has accelerated the urgency around that conversation and shown that a digital mindset is not only possible but necessary to compete and survive in this 'brave new world', "Next-gen technology has already been integrated into the manufacturing sector, what matters, is how companies take advantage of the resources that are available to them. With that in mind, the term digital transformation might also rid itself of buzzword status and evolve to what can be considered the norm across the board."

The origins of the no-code concept date back to the 1970s: however, it did not garner much popularity back in the day and had to wait until the second decade of the 21st century to shine. Low-code platforms are modern information systems, which combine functionalities offered by document management systems, business process management (BPM) and business process automation (BPA) solutions all without the need for any coding. Before low-code platforins, all of these solutions required the constant involvement of development teams in order to take care of their maintenance and development, as well as to implement the necessary changes. As a result, companies became more and more dependent on the services of programmers and specific development teams, which increased their operating costs due to considerable IT expenses, and at some point it brought about considerable difficulties due to the lack of highly-skilled specialists on the labor market. Other drawbacks included high investment cost and limited possibilities for introducing changes, which, together with the increasingly rapid pace of changes taking place both within the organizations, as well as in their business and legal environment, started becoming critical for more and more companies. As a result of this, IT systems, which were supposed to facilitate the operations of companies and organizations, helping them to efficiently carry out their tasks and operational activities on a daily basis, started to hinder them and slow down the natural pace of business growth due to the high change dynamics. Such a turn of events made it necessary to come up with a solution, to make it possible for the companies to take advantage of the opportunities offered by modern technologies in a more effective and efficient manner, without being constantly dependent on the services of specific development teams. Eventually, users also started paying more attention not only to the speed and effectiveness of delivery of enterprise II solutions, but also to their scalability, flexibility and ease of change, to ensure proper time to business. Eventually, low-code platforms emerged as the best solution, enabling building business applications in a quick and efficient manner, to manage and automate business processes without having to learn how to code. Their popularity is on the rise and they gain more and more users with every year, as they can better support companies in their daily operations and achieving their business objectives.

In recent years, the science of understanding the nature of information processing and management combined with computer and telecommunication technologies to process, disseminate, and manage information has become known as "information and communication science and technology." It has many resources and components and originated many new disciplines but, what's more, it intervened in changing mankind's habits and lifestyle. As information and communication science and technology have profoundly impacted science, business, society, and every other aspect of life on our planet, numerous researchers around the world have focused on accumulating knowledge on this discipline and its effects and influences. The volume and intensity of research in the field of information and communication science and technology and the study of its implications on human and social behavior has by far exceeded many other fields of science, and the sheer impact of research discoveries in this area has become the driving force of many emerging studies, technologies, and applications. No longer is this discipline limited to a few technology-related areas, but as for many other modern fields of knowledge, information, and communication science and technology are today a collection of a great variety of specific disciplines. This collection process has been accomplished by producing research results to understand the potentials, problems, and challenges of each individual discipline, analyzing the cross-fertilization on neighboring fields of knowledge and trying to expand the body of literature related to the topics of that discipline. As a result, we can today use the words of D. de Kerchkove (1995) who stated that a technology enters human culture when it disappears or, to be more precise, when it becomes transparent.
