INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (IT)‏

INFORMATION SYSTEMS What do the information system do? Information systems collect, organize, store, process, retrieve and display information in different formats (text, video and voice). What does IT allow? Very fast, automated manipulation of digital data and their transformation from and to analogue.

TWO BASIC TECHNOLOGIES responsible for the development of the necessary HARDWARE INTEGRATED CIRCUITS DIGITAL COMMUNICATIONS

SOFTWARE What do easy-to-use software products do? They create, maintain, manipulate and query files and records. Without software, computers are just dumb boxes, unable to perform any calculations or operations.

Another important factor is…? Development of COMPUTER NETWORKS.
