Communications technology, also known as

information technology, refers to all equipment and

programs that are used to process
and communicate information. Professionals in
the communication technology field specialize in the
development, installation, and service of these hardware
and software systems.
Communication technology influences business and
society by making the exchange of ideas and information
more efficient. Communication technologies include the
Internet, multimedia, e-mail, telephone and other sound-
based and video-based communication means.

Some examples of communication technology are computers,

the internet, television, radio, phones and podcasts.( A podcast is
an episodic series of spoken word digital audio files that a user can
download to a personal device for easy listening. Streaming applications
and podcasting services provide a convenient and integrated way to
manage a personal consumption queue across many podcast sources and
playback devices.)
