Some people keep asking me what is Information Technology course is all about and what careers awaits in future.
I was tasked to have a minute of course orientation in our school for the Freshmen who took up BS Information and BS Computer Science and majority of them are BS IT. I asked them why IT, I called a girl and she said, “Wala pong mapiling course eh.”
For those students especially high school, you should choose what course you are really interested in. Do not just choose IT if you don’t find computer and technology interesting. However, if this course really interest you, then you are on the right track. Computers and technology are very in demand nowadays, you can easily find opportunity not just in other country, but also here in Philippines and say, “My interest is here and to become a professional Programmer.”
So what are the responsilibilities of being an IT graduate? System administration, database administration and other Management Information Services are examples of responsilibilities.
Information Technology – A Definition
We use the term information technology or IT to refer to an entire industry. In actuality, information technology is the use of computers and software to manage information. In some companies, this is referred to as Management Information Services (or MIS) or simply as Information Services (or IS).
The information technology department of a large company would be responsible for storing information, protecting information, processing the information, transmitting the information as necessary, and later retrieving information as necessary.
History of Information Technology
In order to perform these functions, the modern Information Technology Department would use computers, servers, database management systems, and cryptography. The department would be made up of several System Administrators, Database Administrators and at least one Information Technology Manager. The group usually reports to the Chief Information Officer (CIO).
In relative terms, it wasn’t so long ago that the Information Technology department might have consisted of a single Computer Operator, who might be storing data on magnetic tape, and then putting it in a box down in the basement somewhere.
Information Technology – Trends
Going forward, the Information Technology Department will be increasingly concerned with data storage and management, and will find that information security will continue to be at the top of the priority list. The job outlook for those within Information Technology is strong, with data security and server gurus amongst the highest paid techies.
