Usually Information Technology is developed to do things more efficiently (at least that is the goal!). For example, webpages and email systems allow companies to more efficiently market their products to customers and even process orders. And internal systems allow companies to more efficiently track inventory, cash flow, personnel, etc.\n\nThe thing most people miss when implementing IT is the human component. The people who will be using the technology must be deeply involved in the implementation to ensure that they are not implementing technology for the sake of technology, but are making current (and/or future) processes easier, faster, better, and cheaper.\n\nI hope that answers your question.

Info Tech can be used to spread literacy using video conference, one can reach out to even remote villages without comprising on the quality of teachers.\nInitiatives like ITC's e-choupal which provide free information to farmers about prices for their produce, weather info, etc. thus cutting out middle-men

Probably not too directly.  Computer Information Systems is pretty high level.  But when working with computers extensively, the ability to analyze problems and think logically is important.  So perhaps that's the connection.

Maybe not, just try getting a job in IT these days; the field is overloaded with qualified graduates who flocked to IT programs and now there's too many of them. I'd imagine that IT will eventually be replaced by newer technology that requires more advanced and different knowledge and skills.

A good one has the charateristics of an effective communicator.  That includes ability to work with people (known as the system users) to understand their problem that a system solution can solve; to work with technical people (known as programmers) to put the system solution that really solves the system users; to follow system development life cycle process to ensure that the solution can be readily maintained and enhanced.\nIt is important because lack of it creates more or bigger problem than the original.

Social informatics is the study of the social, cultural, and organizational aspects of the use of information and communication technologies.  An old precursor to social informatics might be human factors engineering.  This field has been largely fathered by a man named Rob Kling at Indiana University.  A number of other informatics sub-specialties are also taking note of social informatics as an important factor in any implementation of information technology.  To learn more about the field, see the links below.

One of the largest challenges is fixing something that average computer users who "know what they are doing" messes up. Another is when multiple computers are down at the same time and you need to get them all going quickly. But helping people and knowing you are doing a great job is rewarding. You can also go to most any company and become a valuable member of the staff.

Below is a great article on it.  Good communication, technical skills, and the ability to meet deadlines and get other people to meet them are key.

No, but the lack of a similar increase in psychological growth in mankind has caused our technological development to outstrip our maturity as a species.  The sudden increase in information and the resulting challenges to everyone's world views due to access to the web and instant information should be sufficient to give us a chance to catch up a bit.  Then the technology will be much easier to handle and use wisely.

Information technology (IT) or Information and communication(s) technology (ICT) (also Infocomm, esp. in Asia) is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information, especially in large organizations.\n\nIn particular, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists, and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the IT department. Other names for the latter are information services (IS) or management information services (MIS), managed service providers (MSP).

Cite them the reason that you find yourself comfortable in IT field which you happened to recognise a bit field and you have equipped yourself with knowledge regarding IT filed by learning programming languages of your own or did some certification course...also cite some projects which you did in programming if any!! All the Best :)

They can be as involved, complex, or simple as the company and setting.  A medium-sized information technology (IT) shop, office, or department will have functional positions based on what they need to provide for the computer users.  There will be an IT director or senior boss responsible for the various components.  There will likely be a computer on every information worker's desk and those will likely be networked together, a place for a network administrator to see that everyone stays connected.  With computers there are machines and connections to establish and maintain and the software that does the work on those machines.  Your senior technologist is likely the guy in charge of the machinery, the actual computers, printers, servers, modems, and cabling.  Your systems analyst is likely the person who makes sure that the computer programs that process the sales, track the inventory, and keep the books is working together correctly.  The IT director is often, but not always, the one who planned the whole process in a new company, but anyway an information architect is the person who maps out who needs to know what and how to get it to them.  This includes plans for growth in the company as well as planning for new technologies.  The help desk is merely someone who has a basic knowledge of the whole system in order to answer questions or ask questions that will be useful for the systems analyst or senior technologist to figure out what is broke and what they need to do to fix it.   \n\nI've done a bit of most of these, and one of the most fun moments was when a customer in a distant town insisted I drop what I was doing and fix her computer because it wouldn't start.  I was due in a few minutes for a planning meeting with a small municipality over their accounting package.  After listening to her, I asked her to first check that all the cables, particularly power cables were connected and plugged in.  She was incensed!  I reminded her of our hourly rate and how long it would take me to get there and suggested she check those again and call me back in a few minutes.  She did and I didn't need to go, the computer was unplugged.  Most problems are highly technical and need other things, like a signal meter on some cables as has happened recently to me.  But many are simple and a moderately capable person who has the patience to listen can save the high-dollar guys a lot of wasted time.

ofcourse new generation b/cos we information technology.

Could you please give us some sort of context here ?  Are you talking about computers (hardware), development ?  What ?\n\nPost details please.  We'll try to help.

My first IT job (if you can call it that) was assembling computers.  They were all barebones, which meant we had to basically build them from scratch.  I learned what each part of a computer does and how to troubleshoot them.

All medium to large organisations depend on Information technology For their continued survival. Consider organisations like British Gas, British Telecom, the Power and Water companies having to manually calculate, millions of customer bills every month or quarter! Clearly the clerical effort involved would make it difficult if not impossible for the organisation to make a profit. Similar arguments apply to many other organisations such as the high street banks, central and local government. A recent article in the Daily Telegraph IT supplement suggested that many large organisations could last no longer than 24 hours without IT support! There should be little wonder that attitudes to the development of information systems have changed over the years from an ad hoc almost cavalier approach to a professionally managed, disciplined, planned, engineering approach.\n\nFor more information on this topic, please go to http://www.comp.glam.ac.uk/pages/staff/tdhutchings/chapter1.html.

Realistically? The search for knowledge has led to, or had a significant contribution to, the development of microwaves, radar, radio, superconductivity, computers, refridgeration, digital cameras, the internet and much more. When the theories that underpin most of these inventions were first discovered and tested, many people asked the same question - how does this help me? And then 20 years later some clever engineer invents a little box that heats up food. So give it time - almost every invention know to man once started as someone saying "I wonder how this works?"
