Amidst the advancement of innovation and technology, I view the outlook of what does IT mean
in a general notion, what does it seek for, or perhaps how does it impact everyone’s life in the
first place. I never get to comprehend its delved in perspective as long as the gadgets and
computer-based information I use do their jobs in making my life easier. However, upon
pondering the first module, I grasped its holistic meaning – the correlated components, the
trends, people’s consumerization, and so much more. It is somehow related to my previous
definition of IT, which solely revolves around the idea of sharing knowledge and informing
people as technology keeps on progressing. This may sound like an uninformed kind of
definition, but that’s what I believed in just by getting context clues from the words
‘information’ and ‘technology’.

          Technically speaking, I view IT as a bridge in navigating individuals’ lives heading

towards a broad spectrum of societal advancements. It doesn’t just simply stipulate basic system
because IT contains five (5) components: (a) hardware, (b) software, (c) data management
technology, (d) networking and telecommunications technology, and (e) technology services.
Taking into account these various factors, it boils down to the fact that IT has segmented
conclusive functions which help us in school, in business, in a company, etc. IT is dynamic and
complex, but with proper integration of resources and a holistic perspective, IT doesn’t just make
our lives easier; it also helps us be safe from any malware that pops up in our PC or laptop. Thus,
it makes a way to look for our desired products by searching and clicking on the suitable
applications.

          Pondered enough from the material I’ve read, I define information technology now as a
universal complex room for any electronic gadgets comprising its correlated systems
backed up by various indicators in helping us through our work, safety, and keeping up
with the trends.
