Pros And Negatives Of Information Technology

Information technology is the technology involving the development, maintenance, and the use of computer systems, software and networks for the processing and distribution of data. Information technology has many benefits in our lives like it prevents error; it decreases the amount of paper works, it creates products faster, it helps us save more time, it helps us access more information easily, it helps us communicate faster, cheaper and more efficient, and many more.
