Information technology refers to the application of computers and telecommunications to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate data. It has had major impacts on quality of life in several areas. It has improved productivity in business through file management, communication and financial management, though implementation can be expensive. In education, it has increased access to learning resources but also risks overdependence and plagiarism. Healthcare has benefited from increased efficiency and easier access to records, though security risks remain. Socially, people can communicate over long distances through technology, but it also risks isolation, cyberbullying and political incitement. Militaries now rely on evolving technologies for warfare. Overall, while technology has enhanced lives, its overuse risks negative psychological effects on attention
