we are living in a world where humans rely on inanimate objects a combination of metal rubber parts and fuel can help you get from one place to a distant place without breaking a sweat pieces of plastic and metal put together the right way can make you communicate with someone who's miles away from you and most importantly information and data can now be stored and retrieved later on and the world is in need of people who understand how this information and Technology works so what exactly is information technology first and foremost it must be understood that
this is a very broad topic but information technology is the use of computer systems storages networks and tangible devices technological infrastructure systems and processes to create modify transfer store multiply and exchange all forms of electronic data so what exactly is data data is every type of information from Facts statistics numerical sequences and patterns which is analyzed studied compared modified stored and overall used as a component and the overall information that the technology user needs the value of Information Technology is that although people are capable of handling data using our brains and even the old paper
and Pen processes these processes are not as reliable efficient and effective as relying on Information Technology a computer can process millions of pieces of data at a given time its storage or memory can hold and secure information without forgetting a single piece of data so where is information technology applicable from the general information above Information Technology plays a significant role in business some examples of this would be customer handling all the way from handling customer service personal day-to-day communication storing Financial records and all other human activities that deal with handling electronic data information technology is
essential to the day-to-day operations of a business and even more important when it comes to scaling your business to make more money and this is why learning the skills of Information Technology is incredibly valuable whether you want to get a job or start your own business next let's talk about Hardware versus software before we can discuss examples of Information Technology it's important that we talk about hardware and software Hardware is tangible technology that you can actually touch when it comes to dealing with information technology from personal computers laptops mobile phones tablets and everything else that
is physical and is used for the purposes of It software on the other hand is intangible AKA You can't touch it so this would be things such as websites computer programs or systems and applications and it's going to be broadly separated into two different groups which is software systems and applications software systems are basic programs that are tasked to perform computer functions at its most basic level an example of this would be an operating system for a phone such as iOS or Android applications on the other hand also have a lot of examples such as
databases email servers transaction processing systems process control systems Enterprise collaboration systems and many more some examples of this would be slack Dropbox HubSpot Google Drive and Microsoft Office next let's talk about Information Technology as a rear path information technology is very broad but it is a great career path if you are able to learn the skills of Information Technology with the constant rise of technology in this modernized world it is safe to say that you will almost definitely have a job according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics the median annual wage for computer and information
technology occupations is ninety seven thousand dollars that's over twice the median annual wage for all other applications which is forty five thousand and according to glassdoor.com an entry-level position as an IT Help Desk technician makes over fifty thousand dollars a year so not only does Information Technology offer you a good salary but being nit keeps you updated with the latest in Technology Innovation a few examples of fields related to Information Technology are it management computer systems analyst web development cyber security Cloud Administration and database Administration if you want to learn a way to get into
information technology in a few months click the free training which I will put down in the description encryption as well as the pinned comment below this pre-training is offered by a company called course careers which I've mentioned before which routinely gets people jobs in as little as two weeks and oftentimes in a few months for instance check out an interview I did with Della where she was able to get a job at her dream company making over a hundred thousand dollars a year in a month and a half and she was able to do this
with zero experience beforehand in the career field
