InformationTechnology

=Information Technology (IT)=

**Information technology** (IT) is the acquisition, processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical information by a [|microelectronics] -based combination of computing and[|telecommunications] .[|[1]] The term in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the //[|Harvard Business Review] //, in which authors Leavitt and Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology."[|[2]]

IT is the area of managing technology and spans wide variety of areas that include but are not limited to things such as processes, [|computer software], [|information systems] , [|computer hardware] , [|programming languages] , and data constructs. In short, anything that renders data, information or perceived knowledge in any visual format whatsoever, via any multimedia distribution mechanism, is considered part of the domain space known as Information Technology (IT). IT professionals perform a variety of functions (IT Disciplines/Competencies) 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 management and administration of entire systems.
