Information technology (IT) refers to the use of technology to organize, store, share, and process information. IT includes computers, networking, storage, and other physical devices used to create, process, store, safely transmit, and exchange all types of electronic data. Some key benefits of IT include increased productivity by saving time, improving services, and enabling easy and speedy communication. However, overdependence on technology can also lead to issues like unemployment, data security risks, and health concerns. Emerging technologies that will impact the future include artificial intelligence, robotic process automation, 3D printing, blockchain, the internet of things, rise of super apps, and 5G technology.
