what is information technology information technology (it) is the application of computers and internet to store,
retrieve, transmit, and manipulate information, often in the context of a business or other
enterprise. it is considered a subset of information and communications technology (ict) and has
evolved according to the needs. it is worthwhile noting that the term it is commonly used as a
synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution
technologies such as television and telephones. several industries are associated with information
technology, including computer hardware, software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom
equipment, engineering, healthcare, e-commerce, and computer services. thanks to the continuous
development of computers, the original computing systems became minicomputers and later personal computers took the
lead. nowadays, mobile phones are dethroning the personal computer and computing is evolving faster to become
disembodied more like a cloud, becoming accessible more easily whenever needed. information technology has transformed
people and companies and has allowed digital technology to influence society and economy alike. it has, in this sense,
shaped societies and adapted itself to people's needs.
history if you want a brief history of information technology, here is one. humans were the first "computers". then,
machines were invented to carry out the computational tasks. now these machines have given way to new form of
information technology. information has become disembodied accessible from anywhere through cloud technology. recent
advances in it is the consequence of the development in computing systems.
humans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating, and communicating information since the sumerians in mesopotamia
developed writing in about 3000 bc, but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 articl
published in the harvard business review; authors harold j. leavitt and thomas l. whisler commented that "the new
technology does not yet have a single established name. we shall call it information technology (it)." their definition
consists of three categories: techniques for processing, the application of statistical and mathematical methods to decision-
making, and the simulation of higher-order thinking through computer programs.

Travelling is always exciting. In General, I believe that how many languages do you know, so many times you are a man. And how many countries you visit, so many worlds have your inner world! However, I disagree with only one thing: not everyone can travel abroad, but it is never necessary to delay with any opportunity to visit somewhere! I visited only a few countries in my life some years ago, but I hope that I will have more opportunities in the future. After all, travel gives us access to other cultures, allows us to look at how people live in other countries, how they think, their values, life priorities. For example, once we were on vacation in Germany. This country struck me with its order and purity. And it’s not only clean streets, but also how people relate to the order in the yard. At the shops they feel at home. No one will ever throw a cigarette butt under his feet, spit, throw a piece of paper or some garbage. In transport, people always pay for expensive travel, not even thinking about what you can drive “Bunny”. Our relative who lives there, told us such phrase: “Not to pay taxes, journey Yes utilities-it means to plunder itself, we for ourselves do all this!”. That is, people there have a completely different type of thinking. Thus, travel and travel abroad give rise to a lot of reflection, and analysis of what kind of world we live in? What do we want it to be? What do you need to do in order to build a dream country? But I also like to travel to Russia. It is unusually big and beautiful, its nature is very diverse and beautiful. For example, in the West of Karelia, there are mountains, mountain rivers and lakes of indescribable beauty. There is very clean air, friendly people. This region has a lot of forests, very beautiful scenery. And the black sea atmosphere is quite different — there is a fun holiday can vary measured rest in the quiet corners of the sea coast. I like Baikal, on which my family rested three times. This lake is very gentle, nature there is just incredible! It is the pride of Russia. People come to see the lake from all over the world. They like Russian hospitality, cuisine, and nature. I found out for myself different parts of Russia: the West, the South, the East. Different people live everywhere. Somewhere more communicate only in Russian, and somewhere in their nation. Where the Catholics live, where Orthodox and Muslims, but Russia is a multinational country, but that she is famous for. This is the beauty of our country — its wealth. Everywhere we were warmly received, enthusiastically told about their region, translating the legends of his land, on which the whole of Russia is so rich that it is sometimes breathtaking! I love to travel. For me, every journey is a small adventure that leaves eternal memories for a lifetime. After such trips I can forget neither the breath of nature of the region where we were nor those people, I always dream to return to the same place. But then you realize he is still so much unknown still so much to see! I hope that my future life will develop in such a way that I will always have the strength, desire and opportunity to travel!
