General field: Tech/Engineering
Detailed field: IT (Information Technology) | Source text - English
Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and securely retrieve information.
Today, the term information technology has ballooned to encompass many aspects of computing and technology, and the term has become very recognizable. IT professionals perform a variety of duties that range from installing applications to designing complex computer networks and information databases. A few of the duties that IT professionals perform may include data management, networking, engineering computer hardware, database and software design, as well as the management and administration of entire systems.
When computer and communications technologies are combined, the result is information technology, or "infotech". Information technology is a general term that describes any technology that helps to produce, manipulate, store, communicate, and/or disseminate information.
The term information technology is sometimes said to have been coined by Jim Domsic of Michigan in November 1981. Domsic, who worked as a computer manager for an automotive related industry, is supposed to have created the term to modernize the outdated phrase "data processing". The Oxford English Dictionary, however, in defining information technology as "the branch of technology concerned with the dissemination, processing, and storage of information, esp. by means of computers" provides an illustrative quote from the year 1958 (Leavitt & Whisler in Harvard Business Rev. XXXVI. 41/1 "The new technology does not yet have a single established name. We shall call it information technology.") that predates the so-far unsubstantiated Domsic coinage.

Informationsteknik (IT), som begreppet definieras av Information Technology Association of America (ITAA), inbegriper "forskning, design, utveckling, implementering och support eller administration av datorbaserade informationssystem, särskilt programvara och datorhårdvara". IT omfattar användning av elektroniska datorer och datorprogram för att konvertera, lagra, skydda, bearbeta och sända och hämta information på ett säkert sätt.
IT är idag ett välkänt uttryck som omfattar många olika aspekter av datoranvändning och teknik. Yrkesverksamma inom IT utför en rad olika arbetsuppgifter som varierar från att installera program till att planera invecklade datornätverk och informationsdatabaser. Några exempel på arbetsuppgifter inom IT är datahantering, nätverksadministration, utveckling av datorkomponenter, databas- och programutveckling samt hantering och administration av hela system.
När dator- och kommunikationsteknik kombineras blir resultatet informationsteknik, eller IT. Informationsteknik är ett allmänt begrepp för tekniker som underlättar produktion, manipulation, lagring, kommunikation och spridning av information.
Begreppet informationsteknik sägs ha myntats av Jim Domsic från Michigan i november 1981. Domsic arbetade som IT-chef på ett företag i bilbranschen och sägs ha myntat begreppet i ett försök att modernisera det föråldrade uttrycket "databehandling". Oxford English Dictionary däremot, som definierar informationsteknik som "den del av tekniken som omfattar spridning, bearbetning och lagring av information, särskilt i anslutning till datorer", hänvisar istället till följande citat av Leavitt och Whistler i Harvard Business Rev. XXXVI. 41/4: "Den nya tekniken har ännu inget etablerat namn. Vi kommer att kalla den informationsteknik"). Detta citat från 1958 tyder på att begreppet introducerades långt före Domsic myntade det, vilket fortsättningsvis är obekräftade uppgifter. |
