Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog.
Information technology as known is the use of systems especially computers and telecommunication to send, store and retrieve Information, and there components that aids in doing that which I will write on today.
Information technology (IT) is the use of systems which includes computers, storage, networking, infrastructure and processes to create, process, store, secure and transfer all forms of electronic data. In recent times Information technology refers to everything the organization uses the computer for which include safeguarding data and information, creating and administering databases, helping employees find and troubleshoot problems with their smartphones or computers and doing a varieties of other works to ensure the efficiency and security of business information systems.
The example of Information technology includes; content management software for collaboration and blogging, software for word processing and spreadsheets, Video conferencing equipment etc. Information technology (IT) is seen almost everywhere like in smartphones, job creation, entertainment, social network, online education and agriculture. The use of information technology cannot be underrated because it made the world an enjoyable, conductive, pleasant place to live in.
**Information technology (IT) is made up of the various components used to create information systems that makes individuals and organizations work faster and with great speed, watches over safety measures, risk and the management of data.**
That brings us to the five components of information technology which include
SOFTWARE
Software is a component of Information technology IT that is a set of instructions, data or programs used to operate computers and execute specific tasks. Software is a generally used in referring to applications, scripts and programs that runs on a device both computer and smartphones. Software aids computer hardware perform important tasks and also help businesses work efficiently and effectively.
DATA
Data as a component of information technology (IT) is a raw fact that forms the basic form of computer input. In Information technology, Data allows organizations to envisage relationships between what is occuring in different locations both systems and departments also data allows organizations/individual more efficiently determine the cause of its problems.
HARDWARE
The hardware generic term refers to the physical aspect of Technology that can be touched it includes the Computers, smartphones, tablets, disk drives. Hardware provide support for major functions such as input, output, secondary storage, communication and processing (internal storage, computation and control).
PEOPLE
People refers to the users of information technology, People play a vital role in and processes and opertional activities of Information technology with their Knowledge, skills, and attitudes that often determine the quantity and quality of system output.
PROCEDURE
Procedures refers to the established policies that govern the use and outlines what is expected of each users of computers assets of information technology within an organization.
CONCLUSION
The various components which include the Hardware, Software, People, Data and Procedures are what made the Information technology (IT). The various Components are interdependent on each other, none is more preferable to another, this implies the importance of each to another.
Information technology aids in carrying out our work efficiently and effectively without much stress, it also helps in securing and transferring all electronic data with the use of computer and smartphones.
