information technology
information technology (IT) Computer and
telecommunications technologies used in processing information of any kind. Word processing, the use of a
database and the sending of
electronic mail (e-mail) over a
computer network all involve the use of information technology. Television stations employ information technology to provide viewers with
teletext services. IT has revolutionized retailing and banking through the development of
