Information and information technology use shows age-related patterns. This presentation outlines a approach of age-related trajectories of how information and technology use surface as challenges during the life-course of individuals based on trajectories of relative exposure to different types of information technologies and information that unfold as real options in everyday-life. Les usages de l'information et des technologies de l'information affichent des tendances liées à l'age. Cet article présente comment différentes pratiques informationnelles émergent au cours de la vie des individus et sont liées à l'exposition à différents types d'information et de technologies et à des options réelles de la vie de tous les jours.

With the increase in information technology use, problems related to the security of these technologies have become significant. Businesses are required to acquire information, use information technologies, and rely on the information they collected to continue their presence. The requirement of information technology use and related security problems cannot be ignored by both individuals and businesses. One of the industries with large data pools is the tourism industry. Thus, the protection of personal or corporate information is a process that should be managed especially for businesses. In order for this management process to be successful, it is necessary for the corporations to have security policies that are supported by the senior management, possible to implement and understand, and accepted at all corporate levels. Thus, the present study aimed to explain the significance of information security, especially the security of the information in the tourism industry, which is as an important part of the service industry.

The article covers the methodological issues of mathematical and statistical evaluation of the information technology use. The necessity of using information technologies to ensure control system flexibility has been substantiated. The impact of the level of integration of implemented information technologies on the increase of production management efficiency through data processing models and use of a single information space has been determined. To achieve the appropriate characteristics of stochastic processes of information technology, it is proposed to use methodological approaches to modeling on the basis of mathematical and statistical evaluation with elements of correlation and regression analysis. We have established the features of regression model development on the basis of which the estimation of the modeled process is carried out in the forecasting period. The paper investigates the issue of modeling methodology based on correlation and regression models and special cases in their evaluation. The main stages of model development and the sequence of their implementation are given. The impact on the number of enterprises that use computer technology in their activities, such factors as: Internet connection, the use of social media and the availability of websites has been assessed. Particular attention is paid to the use of social media as one of the key resources in defining the ideology of using information resources. The model parameters were estimated by the least square method. The analysis of the influence of the studied factors has been carried out based on the obtained regression model parameters taking into account their significance on the influence of the process of information technology use. The necessity of theoretical substantiation of interdependent factor effect with the application of variance analysis and mathematical theory of hypotheses has been proved.
