Describe at least five ways in which information technology (IT) can help students studying subjects other than computing.

‘Computer Science’ and ‘information technology’ are completely different subjects. Information Technology (IT) is-

(i) the study,

(ii) design,

(iii) development,

(iv) implementation, and

(v) support or management

of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware.

Information Technology (IT) deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to-

(i) convert,

(ii) store,

(iii) protect,

(iv) process,

(v) transmit, and

(vi) securely retrieve information.

Shortly, information technology (IT) itself means learning to use technology in business or in studies of some subject matter using technology.

Hence, IT could help students studying subjects other than computing with the above mentioned points considered.
