you mean computers right…?!
What a debate we had trying to sub categorize and make sure there was no overlapping here. It’s defined as being the combination of the installation and expansion of computer systems and applications (extremely broad but the industry is huge!) Computers:
Computers are seen as the hardware and the mechanical process of the IT industry. Information Technology:
Using computers to complete and engage in a process. Programs that can complete human tasks or actions. The World Wide Web: Made accessible by the internet, the World Wide Web is the basis for information sharing, people communication and the expansion of a global virtual environment! It’s an industry that’s exciting, quick and allows for the lateral thinkers to create what only dreams are made of! The Players:
