Information Technology is any computer-based tool that people used to work with information and to support the information and information-processing needs of an organization.
Information technology architecture is a high level map or plan of the information assets in an organization.
Information technology infrastructure is the physical facilities, IT components, IT services, and IT personnel that support an entire organization.
The global, Web-based platform that has recently emerged spans the world and is best represented by the Internet functionality.
The platform enables individuals to connect, compute and communicate.
This platform makes globalization possible.
Globalization is the integration and interdependence of economic, social, culture, and ecological facets of life, enable by rapid advances of IT.
The stages of Globalization are;
•Globalization 1.0 (from 1492 to 1800)
•Globalization 2.0 (from 1800 to 2000)
•Globalization 3.0 (from 2000 to the present)
We are in a convergence of three powerful, technological forces:
(1) Cheap and ubiquitous computing devices
(2) Low-cost, high bandwidth
(3) Open standards
In essence, we have computing everywhere and anywhere, anytime and all the time, with access to limitless amounts of information, services, and entertainment.
