Information technology (IT) is the study, design,
development, implementation, support or management of computer-based
information systems, particularly software applications, computer hardware and
mobile devices. IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer
software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve
information. Many companies now have IT departments for managing the computers,
networks, and other technical areas of their business.
Since we live in the “information age” where IT
has become a part of our everyday lives, which is giving great impact on our
society. It is also important in our daily lives. The lack of information at the
right time will result in low productivity, low quality research works, and
waste of time to pursue information and even to do research which actually others
had done or in other countries. For example, we can read latest news using the
online newspaper.The use of IT helps in teaching and learning, by enhancing the
effectiveness of learning, or by adding a dimension to learning that was not
previously available. IT may also help in student’s learning, and also support
in student’s engagement with collaborative learning.
Information technology brings out the production
and development of mobile phones in the market such as iPhone, iPad which are
more technologically motivated. It has released the doors open to which is
profitably channelized through the use of cellular phones. In addition,
reaching out people is more convenient and accessible where everyone can use
its application with comfort. Connecting with each other is made easy with the
flooding entry of communication device available today.
There have been tremendous changes in the ways
people live, work and play over the past three decades. The past ten years or
so have seen changes at a much faster pace. Technological innovation and
entrepreneurship have been the key players in promoting these changes. The rapid
pace at which IT is changing means five to ten years from now lifestyles will
be a lot different from what they are today. Nowadays we have some very good
products both in the hardware industry and in the application industry.
Companies like, Facebook, google and twitter have completely revolutionized how
people communicate and share information. In the device world we have big
industries like Microsoft, apple and Samsung that are paving the way for the
future generation by introducing revolutionary devices and applications.
IT has also made the buying and selling of good
so flexible. With the use of e-payment systems, users can also purchase anything from
online.
With the use of e-banking, moving of money has
become so simple. Even with the invention of Visa Electron has also made it simpler
to move with more money. We can buy anything with a Visa Electron card.
