    What is Information Technology?

    Information Technology (IT) is the application of computers and internet to


    store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate information, often in the context of a
    business or other enterprise. IT is considered a subset of information and
    communications technology (ICT) and has evolved according to the needs.

    It is worthwhile noting that the term IT is commonly used as a synonym for


    computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information
    distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several industries
    are associated with information technology, including computer hardware,
    software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom equipment,
    engineering, healthcare, e-commerce, and computer services.

    Thanks to the continuous development of computers, the original computing


    systems became minicomputers and later personal computers took the lead.
    Nowadays, mobile phones are dethroning the personal computer and
    computing is evolving faster to become disembodied more like a cloud,
    becoming accessible more easily whenever needed. Information technology has
    transformed people and companies and has allowed digital technology to
    influence society and economy alike. It has, in this sense, shaped societies and
    adapted itself to people's needs.

    If you want a brief history of Information Technology, here is one. Humans were
    the first "computers". Then, machines were invented to carry out the
    computational tasks. Now these machines have given way to new form of
    information technology. Information has become disembodied accessible from
    anywhere through cloud technology. Recent advances in IT is the consequence
    of the development in computing systems.

    Humans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating, and communicating


    information since the Sumerians in Mesopotamia developed writing in about
    3000 BC, but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared
    in a 1958 article published in the Harvard Business Review; authors Harold J.
    Leavitt and Thomas L. Whisler commented that "the new technology does not
    yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology (IT)."
    Their definition consists of three categories: techniques for processing, the
    application of statistical and mathematical methods to decision-making, and
    the simulation of higher-order thinking through computer programs.
