“Technology, in its essence, is corollary of how humans use it. The scope of technology is defined by humans.
Its scope will be beneficial only if they [humans] can unveil its enormous benefits.”
- Steve Jobs

the technological revolution has proven to be the most meaningful one. Technological revolution of 1950s has
moved at the breakneck as compared to other revolutions. This revolution has ruptured the recorded results of all
previous revolutions including agricultural, industrial, and scientific revolutions. The technological revolution
has given birth to what we call Information Technology, or simply Technology. In the 21st century, world is more
connected today than ever. With just a touch, humans can get linked with each other in the matter of microseconds.
Distances between people living in far flung areas are diminished. All of these developments are the results of
extensive use of information technology. Information Technology as a hereditary of science is used in daily lives
of humans. In technological terms, Information Technology comprises any process, device, or method which

comforts that it has given humans a touch of luxurious life. In the forecasting world, the progress of the nation

information technology is insofar that the era of 21st century is called the age of technology. On the scale of
blessings and curses of information technology, it is incontestable that former weighs much heavier than the
