Welcome to Module 1: Introduction to Information Technology. In this module, we’ll define what Information Technology, or IT, is and explore why it’s so vital in today’s world.IT encompasses all technology related to the creation, storage, exchange, and use of information. This includes everything from the hardware and software that powers our devices, to the networks that connect us to the internet, and the data that flows through these systems. Think of IT as the backbone of the modern digital world—it enables businesses to operate, governments to manage resources, and individuals to communicate instantly.Example: Imagine buying a product on an e-commerce site like Amazon. The moment you place an order, IT systems handle payment, store your order details, manage inventory, and schedule delivery—all in seconds. Without IT, such a seamless experience wouldn’t be possible. IT has grown from simple computing devices to complex, interconnected systems that shape industries and lives.
