Everyone plans his or her actions in certain way which is very much but natural and the next natural thing that happens is it never goes exactly in that way. I am mentioning the general plight of most of us. Plans can be short term as well as long term. We may think in a certain way and appear pretty confident about what we have thought when suddenly a blow comes and changes the direction of our thoughts completely. Something similar happened with me with a result that I turned out to be an Information Technology student. When I joined this course I had no idea what was it with which I was going ahead and judging by what I have learnt till now I can say that fortunately this is a field where I would love to immerse myself in and happily give my full time and devotion.
Information Technology, as generally known by everyone, involves computers, software, hardware, networks and their management or in short every aspect of modern computing. Man's most amazing and the most brilliant invention till date is a computer and the related technologies. Many movies have been made showcasing the awesome potential of a man made machine and evidently technology is gradually progressing towards achieving that very potential which is going to revolutionize our lifestyles completely in the time to come. In just a matter of a decade technology has progressed so much that it has become literally impossible to live normal life without a computer. Most of the cell phones or smartphones that we carry today are almost a handheld computer. It is impossible to picture today's world without a computer. What I find fascinating in this is the power of the human mind that is capable to invent something that surpasses anything that a human being can do but it itself is not at all capable without a human's intervention. The world of technology is very fascinating for a person who understands the plane genius behind its existence and its powerful implications. So, to be involved with this field is a blessing in itself.
Many courses are offered in different institutions in Information Technology and Computer Science and a few lucky and talented students finally make it big and leave their unique mark in these fields for others to follow.
Information Technology is highly related to Information System. We know that Information Technology is about computers and the study of the computer technology. But who uses this technology or how a particular concept is applied in real world ? For this we have people and businesses who make use of it and the basic understanding of how this entire group of people, businesses and computers are co related to each other is what Information System is. Knowingly or unknowingly we have to ultimately enter the realm of Information System when we apply our theoretical knowledge to practical purposes.
Going by their similarity it is natural to get confused between the fields of Computer Science and Information Technology. But the two are different when we consider the problem solving or programmatic aspect of Computer Science and application of those programs in businesses as an aspect of the latter. In my personal opinion, Computer Science is a boring subject when it comes to only programming or problem solving skills as compared to various other areas to examine in Information Technology. Nevertheless, its after all computers in the end.
I am studying Information Technology just as a regular student who finds the field fascinating but outside it has got a very high scope and there's lot to learn from the professionals.
