Read the case situation given below and answer the questions:
Information Technology is the system or method used to collect, store, process data into information and exchange that information all over the world by using computer and communication technology. It is a widely used term that describes the combination of computer technology (hardware and software) with the telecommunication technology (data, image, voice, and network). Information Technology can be used in various sectors such as education, health, agriculture, tourism, trade other sectors etc. Information Technology can be used to promote e-commerce, e-education/e-learning, e-health etc.
IT applications are everywhere in the modern business and their great advantages is the way that they can lower cost. One way that costs can be lowered is in time saving. For example time is saved in the retrieval of information from a database or website. Rapid searches can be carried out by simply cueing in a key word such as the name of customer or a component. Another way that the time can be saved is in the rapid duplication of information. For examples, an e-mail can be sent to all of the relevant members of an organization simply by creating a pre-prepared mailing list for all communications of a certain type. Material can be rapidly edited and altered using modern desktop computers.
This system can be used for the development of knowledge based society, knowledge based industry and accessible of information to the general people. Some of the modern and emerging fields of information technology are web technologies, bioinformatics, cloud computing, global information systems are driven in computer science. Information Technology enables the global communication of information, as well as the global retrieval of information from databases and websites regardless of geographical distance.
