IV. BACKGROUND INFORMATION

IT is short for Information Technology and is pronounced as separate letters. Information technology is the broad
subject concerned with all aspects of managing and processing information, especially within a large organization
or company. IT is generally not used in reference to personal or home computing and networking.

IT is More than Computers and Networks. While IT is often used to describe computers and computer networks,
it actually includes all layers of all systems within an organization — from the physical hardware to the operating
systems, applications, databases, storage, servers and more. Telecommunication technologies, including Internet
and business phones are also part of an organization's IT infrastructure.

This lab will help you become familiar with the IT profession.

VI. LABORATORY ACTIVITY

Answer the following questions:

1. Why did you take IT as your course in college?

I took the IT course since it is one of the few practical skills required for various occupations. Data
analysis, web development, and software engineering are more apparent IT-related careers that
pay well and are always in demand, so I won't have any problem getting work.

Because most firms rely on IT to some level, IT has become everything with the growth of
contemporary technology. Technology advances daily and shows no indications of slowing down.
Furthermore, because information technology is one of the most highly desired skills, I will be in
great demand regardless of the industry in which I choose to work.

2. What is your “Dream Job”?

My dream job is web design. My preliminary study indicates that the firm's website is one of the
crucial client touchpoints. It might include various information to market the firm, specific goods,
and campaigns. In the reverse flow, a potential or present client utilizes it to obtain information
about a commercial transaction, product information, company information, and technical issue
solutions. Good websites may assist clients in deciding on and purchasing a product or service.

Web design is an artistic endeavor. Creating a website that attracts customers and increases
corporate profitability is beautiful. Seeing an increase in sales and customer base due to my site
design will fulfill me completely.

3. How do you see yourself ten years from now?

In 10 years, I will own a web design company in San Pedro, Laguna, with working capital of twenty
million pesos. Corporate and small and medium-sized businesses will be among my customers. I
have ten qualified web designers available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
