Information technology (IT) refers to computing technologies like networking, hardware, software, the internet, and people who work with these technologies. While IT has automated and increased the effectiveness of business functions, it has also led to some negative impacts: IT can reduce the number of jobs as a few people can do the work of many, increasing unemployment. It also raises privacy issues as personal information can become publicly available, and lack of job security as skills must constantly be updated. Implementation of new technologies is also very expensive for industries.

1. Before understanding negative or bad impacts of
I.T.,one should understand the meaning of
information technology in the present scenario.

2. "Information Technology," and is pronounced "I.T." It
refers to anything related to computing technology, such
as networking, hardware, software, the Internet, or the
people that work with these technologies.

3.  Information technology has transformed the way
companies do business.
 Manual business functions have been automated with
the development of personal computers, business
software.
 Companies develop internal business technology to
increase the effectiveness of business function.

4.  Unemployment
 Privacy
 Lack of job security
 Dominant culture
 Implementation expenses
 Health effects
 Improper development of education

5.  I.T. can create jobs of a few persons with the capacities of
doing the job of more workers.
 This means that a lot of lower and middle level jobs have
been done away with causing more people to become
unemployed.
 One example is the technological developments in the
photography industry. Several years ago, in the photography
industry, we have to depend on several parties. Start of
recording images (movies), washing the print (print laundry
services), store (photo album), and send (post office).
 Now under digital camera technology, one can do all of above
jobs in a single shot.

6.  Though information technology may have made
communication quicker, easier and more
convenient, it has also brought along privacy issues.
 From cell phone signal interceptions to email
hacking, people are now worried about their once
private information becoming public knowledge.
 With the help of camera technology now a days
criminals can take any type of pictures to blackmail
people.

7.  Since the technology is changing day by day one
has to keep learning or updating his/her knowledge
or else the job he/she is doing will be not secure.
 For the sake of development in the technology of
oracle many software engineers have lost their jobs
in some parts of the world.

8.  While information technology may have made the
world a global village, it has also contributed to one
culture dominating another weaker one.
 Globalization of I.T. made the world smaller. It
means different and variety of cultures in the world
are losing their values and ethics.
 For example it is now argued that US influences
how most young teenagers all over the world now
act, dress and behave.

9.  Implementation of I.T. in the industry is not a
single cost that means purchasing of program is
not sufficient. Because the purchased program is to
be developed over the period that is also additional
cost.
 Personnel for running the program and
infrastructure to run the program are also extra cost
for the industry.

10.  Recently mobile phone technology has been
developed drastically. So the radioactive waves from
mobile phones and other related equipment are
damaging the health conditions of people.
 Similarly different types of unhealthy conditions
are begetting from various advanced technical
equipment.
 For example regular and continious viewing of
computers badly affects eyes, brain and other parts
of the body.

11.  Especially education field has become highly
technified. This technology has not been properly
introduced for proper development of education.
 Mobile phones, computers, cameras are used for
mass copying, forgery and duplicating of
educational systems.
