Hey guys. Today I would like to talk about what we learnt in Science Computer.
Indeed, you guys know about IT. But do you know what is meant by Information Technology?

Introduction to IT

• Information Technology (IT) is defined as the use of computer hardware and software to store, retrieve, and manipulate  information.

Advantages of IT

• Creation of new jobs : 

• Creation of new and interesting job such as Computer programmers, System analyzers, Hardware and Software developers and Web designers are example of new job opportunities created with the help of IT.

• Globalization of knowledge:

• Today you can use the internet to get the latest news from any country on the globe. Services like ‘’Twitter’’  and Wikipedia are well equipped with data on about anything.

• Improves data storage and file management:  

• Information and data are very important tools, so it is very essential to store them safely and also access them at any time of need. With services like “Dropbox”, we can store and backup data, and can access data any time any where

Disadvantages of IT

• Social implications : 

• With the increased addiction to social networks and internet games, people are spending more time on computers and give up on their normal life.

• Over dependence on information technology makes students less active and innovative.

• Students no longer take time to solve problems and tasks, all they do is query that task in a search engine and a solution will be provided.

• Unemployment :  

• Information Technology has replaced most positions which humans used to take up. Accounting is now being done by software, so accountants run out of opportunities.

• Internet security issues :  

• For  customers to perform online transactions, they have  to provide their personal details. Experienced hackers can use this lop hole to channel this information and use it for their own needs.
