maintaining and making information
accessible.

Essentially, IT refers to the domain where

individuals utilize computing resources, software,
data, and computer networks to produce readily
accessible information.

IT merges computing with fast telecommunication
links transporting different kinds of data such as
text, audio, and video.

The link is based on one of more several types of
information transmission paths such as those provided
communication satellites, terrestrial radio
communications infrastructure and computer networks
to connect two or more point.

How Information Technology Affects Us Information
technology is affecting our lives in many ways and
will do so even more in the future.

Here is how according to Sawyer and Williams

(2015):
1. The education system benefits from
information technology. Some uses of
information technology in the education
system are
a) Online systems allow students to
enroll in courses at the comfort of
their homes and parents to track
their children's grades.
b) When properly integrated into the curriculum and the
classroom, IT can allow students to personalize their
education, such as taking courses on flipped learning. It
helps teachers in automating tedious and rote tasks of
teaching and managing classes. Therefore, it reduces the
teacher's workload per student so that the teacher can
spend more time reaching individual student
c) Course-management software or
learning management system allows
teachers to administer online assignments,
examinations, schedules, and grades
d) Online learning or e-learning paves the
way for students in remote prairie towns to
access career and technical courses.
Moreover, it helps busy professionals obtain
further credentials outside business hours.
e) Intelligent tutoring systems software gives
students individualized instruction when personal
attention is scarce, such as Cognitive Tutor.
Hence, it helps students improve their
performance in math and enthusiasm for the
subject they have once disliked
f) Interactive simulation games allow
students to apply their knowledge to real-
world kinds of problems.
g) Some companies also use avatars in
their employees' training programs, which
employees find engaging for mock
conversations. Avatars are computer
depictions of humans, which are often
found in online games representing
imaginary customers and coworkers.
2. Information technology is now often used
in the fields of health and medicine.
Digital technology, such as phones and
tablets, electronic record-keeping, and a host
of clinical innovations, is transforming
medicine in virtually every way.
a. Telemedicine is a medical care delivered via
telecommunications and has been around for some
time. For example, physicians in rural areas with no
access to radiologists have used "teleradiology" to
exchange computerized images such as X-rays via
telephone-linked networks with expert physicians in
metropolitan areas.
Image transfer technology allows radiologic
images such as CT scans and MRIs immediately
transmitted to electronic charts and physicians'
offices.
b. Robot medicine. Automatic devices that
perform functions ordinarily performed by
human beings are called robots. Robot
medicine helps free medical workers for
more critical tasks
For example, da Vinci Si surgical robot, can
for the smallest incision and stitches for
complex surgery deep inside the body, so that
surgery is less traumatic and recovery time
faster.
C. Health Self-Help. There are thousands of
medical websites that provide reliable health
information and offer online consultation for
free or with a fee most people use to figure out a
medical condition. Some sites offer services that
can predict longevity and risk for particular
inherited diseases.
Examples, www.livingto100.com, and
www.hhs.gov/familyhistory.
3. Information technology is reducing
the use of traditional money.
We are becoming a cashless and - virtual
money - society. Virtual means something is
created, simulated, or carried on through a
computer or network, but also that seems
almost real.
Nowadays, paper checks, credit and debit cards,
automatic transfers via bank apps, and electronic
wallet accounts such as PayPal, PayMaya, and
GCash besides currency are used for paying
purchases. These cashless payment methods can
be accessed using a smartphone.
