Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA),is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." 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 technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term is more recognizable than ever before. The information technology umbrella can be quite large, covering many fields. 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. When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information Technology (IT) is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information. Presumably, when speaking of Information Technology (IT) as a whole, it is noted that the use of computers and information are associated.

Let’s face it. Technology touches nearly every facet of modern business. Think of an industry or an organization, and you can bet there is a demand for skilled information technology (IT) workers within it. That’s what enables IT workers to find employment in a wide variety of industries. Of course, many graduates do begin their careers with IT companies. (An IT company is in business that develops and sell computer solutions to other organizations.) Nevertheless, a great number also go to work for hospitals and insurance companies; schools, colleges and universities; nonprofits; telecommunications firms; banks and financial institutions; public utilities and transit agencies; city, state and federal government offices … the list is practically endless!
