In my prior post, I defined what is Information Technology? Some of you may from time to time confuse it with it's counterpart, Computer Science. Let's get right to defining it, shall we? Computer Science is defined as the study of computers and computing, including their theoretical and algorithmic foundations, hardware and software, and their uses for processing information. 1 In other words, the inner workings of a computer. Alan Turing, considered by many to be the father of modern computer science, formed the concept of algorithms and computations with his invention, named the Turing Machine. The Turing Machine could be adapted to do any algorithm, no matter how complex. This was done in 1936. 2 Although a lot of jobs from Information Technology can be obtained with learning information through Computer Science, Computer Science deals more with making the computer and it's parts. Some specific jobs a...
Chances are, if you are reading this right now, you are either on a phone, desktop, pc, maybe an xbox or playstation console, but you are definitely using a piece of technology to see this. It's amazing that something as simple as this blog could possibly reach millions of people because of the technology we now use. We can see that we have come a long way in how we are not only able to view things online, but how we can reach people. And it's all possible through information technology... So, just what is information technology anyway? We throw the term around quite a lot and just attach a lot to it. "Information Technology" is defined as the study or use of systems (especially computers and telecommunications) for storing, retrieving, and sending information. 1 In simple terms, how we get information from my computer to yours. Right now I'm on blogspot, typing away, while the website is saving my draft until I'm ready to publish it. When you are...
