Information technology (IT) is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware", according to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA). IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.

Today, the term information has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term has become very recognizable. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems. Information technology is starting to spread farther than the conventional personal computer and network technology, and more into integrations of other technologies such as the use of cell phones, televisions, automobiles, and more, which is increasing the demand for such jobs.

When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information technology is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information.

In recent days ABET and the ACM have collaborated to form accreditation and curriculum standards for degrees in Information Technology as a distinct field of study separate from both Computer Science and Information Systems. SIGITE is the ACM working group for defining these standards. The Worldwide IT services revenue totalled $763 billion in 2009.

A. Every business, large or small, desperately needs lots and lots of information from a stunning variety of sources. You got to keep track of your tax liability. You got to keep track of local, state and federal regulations: is your facility up to code? Are you aware of your obligations regarding workman's comp? Does your facility comply with OSHA regs? And internally, you got to keep up with demand, and that takes all sorts of tracking and record-keeping: how many pounds does your shop use over a month's production run? How much paper do you use? How much ink do your printers consume in a month? How can you economize on all that so that your overhead does not overwhelm your anticipate income? That is what your IT department does - it… [cont.]

A. Information Technology has a special branch for Environmental Science called GIS (Geographic Information System). Right now we use GIS extensively in the websites like www.mapquest.com and www.maps.google.com to identify the location. But using GIS softwares like ARCINFO, ARCVIEW etc. you can digitize the geographic information in to the map like temperature of ceertain river, soil composition of certain area, vegetation and deforestation land and many more themes you can include in it.
