Impact of information technology
Information technology has made the whole earth a village.
It has given rise to a global economy connecting various economies of the world.
This new economy is more and more dependent on the creative arrangement and distribution of information.
Due to this, the importance of information in trade and commerce has increased immensely.
That is why this economy has also been called the Information Economy or Knowledge Economy.
The traditional economy based on the manufacturing of goods is getting weaker and the information economy based on service is continuously moving forward.
All the activities of the society have been affected by information revolution - education, e-health, business.
e-commerce, administration, government, e-governance, industry, research and development, organization, publicity, Religion, etc. have changed in all areas.
Today's society has started being called information society.
Future of information technology
With the importance of information, the importance of information security will also increase.
Job opportunities will increase in information technology-related work, especially the demand for information security and server specialists.
