Information Technology (IT) is the study, practice, and management of computers, networking systems, communications, and software. I think we can all agree that IT is a very wide category pertaining to a variety of technology. It pertains to everything from computers to mobile communications.
Today, understanding IT and its functions is more important than ever. With the rapid growth in technology, we have no choice but to become inundated with the latest and greatest gadgets. Technology as a whole has pulled our society out of the Stone Age and into 2010. Technology has changed everything from the way we watch TV to how we buy food.
However, there is a down side. Unfortunately with more technology, there are more problems, and more of a need and desire to understand it. Luckily there are IT professionals to help us with the issues we don't understand and to help us adapt to our rapidly growing technological society.
IT started back in the early 90s when the Internet and home computer usage began to rise. By the late 90s into the 2000s, just about every home and business in America had a computer. With the vast growth and dependency on the use of cell phones, computers, and email, technology had nowhere to grow but up.
The Internet really expanded technology into what we know today. The Internet provoked email, file transfers and sharing, and even downloading music. The Internet even became readily available on cell phones and is a regular capability on all cell phones produced today.
Although technology has enhanced our society and our capabilities, unfortunately there are some downfalls. IT professionals and technicians are constantly researching and experimenting with ways to provide better services, faster Internet speed (such as fiber optics), and download time. They are also busy with enhancing connection speed, upgrading and adding more RAM to systems, and adding wireless capabilities.
Imagine how stressful we would all be if we didn't have IT techs working behind the scenes on troubleshooting our systems. Despite the situation the economy is in, ITs are busier than ever. The technology industry doesn't seem to be slowing down or stopping any time soon.
It's probably safe to say that we've all thought about what the future holds for our society. What new technological advances are coming down the pike? What will we think of next? Will the new gadget make our lives easier, or more difficult?
