As Information Systems (IS) development becomes more a function of purchasing packages or assembling components, with less emphasis on programming, student enrollment in IS courses at universities continues to decline.
Sometimes it looks like the IT revolution has moved on and left many IS researchers [ADVERB].
For example, according to Nokia, the next generation of computers will be in your pocket. About 1.3 billion mobile phones are sold each year, compared to only 300 million personal computers. An increasing number of these phones come with full-blown operating systems that let users access, organize, and use much more information than older handhelds. The mobile software market may soon exceed the current software market for computers, and a wide variety of information systems will rise on top of all the new software. However, only a relatively small percentage of IS research focuses on the mobile revolution.
Actually, many IS programs in business colleges seem impervious to the wake-up call that information schools provide. Rather, they continue to offer curricula that reflect the past rather than look toward the future. Little wonder that students, whose degrees are based on a very limited number of traditional courses in one area of study, often fail to meet their employers’ expectations. With little integration across disciplines to prepare students for the complex problems they will face, organizations
find it necessary to further educate those whom they hire or go abroad to seek appropriate employees with a wider range of skills and knowledge.

A palavra que preenche corretamente a lacuna [ADVERB], no início do texto, é
- A)up.
- B)over.
- C)below.
- D)across.
- E)behind.
Resposta:
A alternativa correta é E)
O advérbio que preenche corretamente a lacuna [ADVERB] é behind (E), que significa "para trás" em português. Esta escolha se justifica pelo contexto do texto, que discute como a revolução da tecnologia da informação avançou, mas muitos pesquisadores de Sistemas de Informação (IS) ficaram para trás, não acompanhando adequadamente as mudanças, como o foco insuficiente na revolução móvel e a manutenção de currículos ultrapassados nas universidades. A expressão "left behind" é comumente usada em inglês para indicar que alguém ou algo foi deixado para trás em um processo de evolução ou progresso.
