Honorable principal, respected teachers and my dear friends, Good morning to one and all.

I Ruhail Khan, will talk about advantages and disadvantages of Information Technology. Before we can know about advantages and disadvantages of information technology, it is essential that we know what information technology. Today information technology involves more than just computer literacy; it also takes into account how computers work and how these computers can further be used not just for information processing but also for communications and problem solving task as well. Our world today has changed a great deal with the aid of information technology. Things that were once done manually or by hand have now become computerized operating systems, which simply require a single click of a mouse to get a task completed. With the aid of IT we are not only able to stream line our business processes but we are also able to get constant information in 'real time' that is up to the minute and up to date. The significance of IT can be seen from the fact that it has penetrated almost every aspect of our daily lives from business to leisure and even society. Today PCs, cell phones, fax machines, pagers, email and internet have all not only become an integral part of our very culture but also play an essential role in our day to day activities. Now I will talk about advantages of information technology, IT has not only brought the world closer together, but also it has allowed the world's economy to become a single interdependent system. We can share information all over the world quickly and efficiently, this brings down barriers of man-made geographic boundaries. Due to globalization in information technology, the world has developed into a global village. Information technology plays very crucial role in communication. It made communication cheaper, quicker, and more efficient. We can now communicate with anyone around the globe by simply text messaging or sending an email. The internet has also opened up face to face direct communication from different parts of the world, we should thanks video conferencing.
