It's a grey question. Depends on the situation & perspective, it is a bane and a boon and sometimes a combination of both

Information technology (IT) or Information and communication(s) technology (ICT) (also Infocomm, esp. in Asia) is a broad subject concerned with technology and other aspects of managing and processing information, especially in large organizations.\n\nIn particular, IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to convert, store, protect, process, transmit, and retrieve information. For that reason, computer professionals are often called IT specialists, and the division of a company or university that deals with software technology is often called the IT department. Other names for the latter are information services (IS) or management information services (MIS), managed service providers (MSP).

Information Technology is a great field that is constantly looking for professionals.  With a career in technology, you can even branch off into consulting with companies such as oracle and sage.  A degree in psychology is not as marketable.  My friend graduated with a degree in psychology since May and she is still unemployed.  The best advice I could give you is to pick a career that you will enjoy working in for a while (job satisfaction sometimes outweights the economic gain).\nFor salary information visit...www.salary.com

If that's what interests you it is. If so, it might be wise to take a couple courses in information security issues. It will make you much more marketable. Good luck.

In England, the school subject IT (Information Technology) was renamed ICT (Information and Communication Technology) by the government some years ago.  The "C" was to reflect the increasing importance of the Internet and other forms of communication technologies in the world of computers.\n\nThis move was unpopular with some because "IT" is a common term throughout the world in industry.\n\nThe definition of "Information Technology" (as accepted by the AQA exam board) is that "technology" means the application of science to everday tasks.  Information Technology means the application of science to inputting, storing and processing data and outputting information.  Communication Technology is the application of science to developing new forms of communication.

The impact of IT on public admin, do you mean publich adminstration?\n\nThe impact of IT, or the theory behind IT, is to simply leverage technology better within a given field.\n\nSo i would say the impact would allow the public admins, ect, utilities, judges, court buildings, ect to be better orgainzed, fund better technology decisions, and provide a better long term result to the general public.\n\nIf, however this is not what you mean, then sorry, i'm not sure what you mean by public admn.

It's huge.  It has changed the way the world does business.  It has absolutely changed the world.  It is the information highway.  It is a world of info at your finger-tips.  People talking to people all over the world.  \n\nAnd with this outstanding unbelieveable technology, I see morons and the things they choose to communicate and the time they waste in chat rooms etc.  And I think, "wow, such a huge tool and so much you can do with it...and this is all your small minds can think of to use it for?"\n\nWOW, ignorance gone to seed.

Ok..\nInformation Technology is booming in India currently.  However, it depends upon which computer language you do and HOW STRONG you are in that language.\nIt all depends upon your capability in getting through the Aptitude exams that are normally taken in Big IT companies.\nAll the best!!!

Precursors to public relations are found in publicists who specialized in promoting circuses, theatrical performances, and other public spectacles. In the United States, where public relations has its origins, many early PR practices were developed in support of the expansive power of the railroads. In fact, many scholars believe that the first appearance of the term "public relations" appeared in the 1897 Year Book of Railway Literature.\n\nLater, PR practitioners were—and are still often—recruited from the ranks of journalism. Some journalists, concerned with ethics, criticize former colleagues for using their inside understanding of news media to help clients receive favorable media coverage.\n\nDespite many journalists' discomfort with the field of public relations, well-paid PR positions remain a popular choice for reporters and editors forced into a career change by the instability of the print and electronic media industry. PR historians say the first PR firm, the Publicity Bureau, was established in 1900 by former newspapermen, with Harvard University as its first client.

With every new technology comes good and bad.\n\nFor instance, I'm a trainer for a living, so having mobile technology such as a laptop with wireless and remote access is great for my job, but I'm always at work now. Even my RDO's are spent putting out spot fires before they become raging inferno's to deal with on my return.\n\nHowever that being said, they probably wouldn't be raging inferno's, it's just a perception oh no something to do, deal with it. \n\nThat being said, Imagine if you had to fax all your letters, or send via snail mail. Data transfer and communication is a great asset that has been bought to us by technology. \n\nWe can send an email off and mark it as waiting on someone else on our to do lists instantly. \n\nWe can prepare macros and programs to remove mundane and pointless repetitive labour from our lives. Mail merges mean one letter, one list of names and addresses, two clicks, and bang, merged and printed.\n\nDepending on the Job technology can be a nuisance, handy, or an outright neccessity as some industries have grown to depend heavily on it.\n\nThe greatest benefit by far of computers is Databases.\n\nYou can either file your clients in a filing cabinet, search for them, add to them, re-file them. Or you can build a database, build a front end for that database, and once down, that time and money pays for itself, as repetitive and manual mundane filing is dead.\n\nI've worked with databases with millions and millions of entries, and I could not even imagine manually filing such an incredible amount of hard copy information.\n\nThe one neccessity for implementing technology as such, is a disaster recovery plan. You MUST be able to recover from a crash before becoming dependant on technology.

Usually Information Technology is developed to do things more efficiently (at least that is the goal!). For example, webpages and email systems allow companies to more efficiently market their products to customers and even process orders. And internal systems allow companies to more efficiently track inventory, cash flow, personnel, etc.\n\nThe thing most people miss when implementing IT is the human component. The people who will be using the technology must be deeply involved in the implementation to ensure that they are not implementing technology for the sake of technology, but are making current (and/or future) processes easier, faster, better, and cheaper.\n\nI hope that answers your question.

The legal profession is a huge multinational empire. It's all geared to making money. I reckon it's about time we replaced all of it with computers.
