IT forms part of information and communications technology (ICT) What Is Information Technology?

4. APPLICATION OF IT Technology is the practical application of conceptual knowledge to achieve reproducible goals, impacting science, engineering, and everyday life. Technological evolution has significantly changed society from the use of stone tools to the development of the printing press, telephone, and the Internet. While technology contributes to economic development and human prosperity, it can also lead to negative consequences like pollution and unemployment due to automation.

5. BENEFITS OF IT The benefits of technology are all around us and can be seen in everything from electricity to global communications.
