Information technology (IT) encompasses all forms of technology used to create, store, exchange, and use information. IT includes telecommunications, office systems, industrial automation, robotics, and consumer products. The relationship between IT and behavioral informatics deals with the human aspects of technology through multidisciplinary research including psychology, cognitive science, computer science, management, education, and training. IT is eliminating barriers of time, space, and distance through high-speed data communication and globalization, changing behaviors toward new technologies. While telecommuting provides benefits like reduced travel costs and improved work-life balance, negative impacts of IT include potential job stress, information anxiety, and a shortened career ladder with greater electronic supervision and job mobility.
