Advancements in networking within information technology have connected more institutions and their staff and students
ISLAMABAD: The IT industry is something that encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and encrypt information in its various forms whether it be business data, voice conversations, still images, motion pictures, multimedia presentations, and all other forms.
Technology has become a part of our life. Cellphones to computers, smart boards, GPS systems and pretty much everything else is technology based. IT helps us by providing us with information and entertainment that is not normally possible from books alone. The crown jewel of technology, the internet, is the fastest and greatest source of information and entertainment.
IT benefits us in education as well. Teachers and students are more connected in and out of the classroom. It provides teacher an endless choice of multimedia, software, applications and devices with which they can create more exciting and interactive lessons. Advancements in networking within information technology have connected more institutions and their staff and students; and therefore make greater amounts of information and resources available to the general public.
IT is also useful in business. It creates electronic storage system to protect a company’s valuable records. Employees have more time to work on other things while computers run their reports, queries, track projects and monitor finances. These systems can give you remote access to your company’s network so that you can work from home or on the road.
In other words, there might hardly be a sphere where IT is not used.
