"Technology" is defined as the practical application of knowledge, though the term is often used to mean other things.\n\nThe benefits of applying knowledge practically? ... hmmmm Well, it's better than applying it impractically - or not applying it at all - or applying stupidity (either practically or impractically).\n\nThe disadvantage of applying knowledge practically? I honestly see none - sounds quite knowledgeable and practical to me (in an applied kind of way).

As mentioned, Computer Science has more physics and Maths, and the most important, it has more Computer Science topics, like Artificial Intelligence, Operating Systems, Computer Graphics, but Information Technology has more busniness topics, like Marketing, Accounting. But at the end, both can work as programmer, for example, I graduated as Computer Science, and my friend graduated as Information Technology, now we both work the same, but he has more knowledge about bussiness issue which are highly desired in my country, cuz most of our use for software is for bussiness issues rather than computer science and researches issues.\nMy own opinion, computer science needs more creativity, I like it.

Without giving you a copied and difficult to understand web definition, it is basically any system supported by its entities that manages and changes information. Some common entities include people, software, hardware and the data itself. \n\nInformation systems can be big or small like those designed to manage groceries at your local supermarket or those designed to handle millions of transactions like the New York Stock Exchange. All of the entities involved in those systems help manage and move information. \n\nMy first source is some web defintions of IS while my second is some definitions for a wide range of technical terms.
