One of the many ramifications of Informatics are the “social networks” that interconnect people with common interests, rapidly, directly, and engagingly, regardless of the geographical distance among them. This leaves “digital traces” that have consequences …
By creating reversible correspondences between (physical and logical) things and their numerical representations, Informatics helps to create real “digital twins”, useful in many fields and for many purposes.
Another surprising area where Informatics helps sciences and professions that may seem very distant from it, is Archaeology. Let’s see how that happens.
Informatics contributes to research in many other Sciences, in surprisingly useful and original ways. Let’s look at the case of Bioinformatics: Informatics at the service of life sciences.
Informatics is a large and richly varied world: its products surround us, accompany us, assist us in many of our professional, personal, and social activities. Let’s see how.
