Testing or using electronic equipment, especially PCs or computers, to store, analyze and distribute various types of information, including words or numbers, and images, in its supply of data.

Why is information technology important?

To put it simply, most of the organizations have IT or IT systems at work or the organization cannot survive in the competitive market of today's fast paced world. It is rare to find a business or organization that does not depend at least in part on computers and the networks that connect them. Hence, those who are technologically advanced in the competitive market are making progress.

Information technology in the pages of history

The lack of information technology in history was first felt in the early 20th century, perhaps in the early stages of World War I. Since the end of the First World War, the international socio-economic landscape of the world began to change rapidly.

The scientific researches in the world are going down with the purpose of maturing the position of the country in the world through new discoveries. Then, in the middle of the 20th century, the Second World War began once again around the world. World War II was the first use of information technology in world history. Towards the end of World War II, the picture of the world began to change more rapidly.

It has a huge impact in the field of information technology as well. Then in the 70s, when the Internet came to the world, there was a revolution in the field of information technology, since that time, the contours of information technology in the world started to change very quickly.

Introduction of modern technology:

The Industrial Revolution of the first half of the 19th century is considered to be the birth of technology. And during this period, the use of technology in almost all areas of life began to be widespread.

However, at this time the importance of information technology was not so important to people because the world's population and lifestyle were less complex. But as time has passed, people have started to become aware of the importance of information and technology.

From the beginning of the 20th century, the need for information and communication technology began to be well understood throughout the world. The modern technology of the present day has arisen while keeping pace with the demands of the natural order of nature.

Today's modern civilization has been developed through the use of information technology. Information technology is playing an important role behind the progress of civilization. The use of information technology has given people a happy and comfortable life.

All kinds of scientific efforts, thoughts, discoveries are reaching people from one end of the world to the other end very quickly with the help of information technology. In the modern era, science and technology are moving in the same direction. Technical knowledge of technology helps people in many ways.

Technology has made civilization modern. When man had no concept of mechanical power, man resorted to labor in the struggle for life. Later it changed and came under technology.

Contribution of information technology to communication

From time immemorial, people have wanted to communicate with one another, one country with another. At different times they used different methods. Poet Kalidasa talks about sending love messages to his beloved through messengers.

Correspondence gradually spread. Trained pigeons carried messages probably from the Maurya reign around 322 BC. Later worked at Ghera, Rajdoot, Runner. Letters still survive as documentary evidence for people.

Once upon a time, the telegraph was a modern technology. Nowadays, telephone, mobile phone, internet, e-mail have come for communication with the touch of modern information technology.

Facebook can communicate by texting instantly. Special methods can be used to make phone calls to people from one end of the world to maintain communication with people from the other end, computer can use special methods to see pictures of speakers and listeners and their location, movement, etc. Another important communication medium in modern information technology is the Internet.

In addition, it is possible to determine very accurately and easily through the use of information and communication technology in various research related matters such as: determination of weather movements, knowing about climate, research on geo-natural issues, research related to various surveys etc.

High quality research is a prerequisite for the advancement of civilization. So information technology is actually helping to improve the world by making it easier by revolutionizing the current research methods.

We can also save our precious time by using information technology in our daily life.
