According
to the Information Technology Association of America, information technology is
the study, design, development, application, implementation, support or
management of computer-based information system particularly software
application and computer hardware. Information technology also deals with the
se of electronic computer and computer software to security convert, store,
protect, process, transmit, input, output and retrieval of information.

According
to Laura Schneider, information technology refers to an entire industry. In
actually, information technology is the use of computers and software to manage
information. In some companies, this is referred to as management information
services or simply as information services. The information technology
department of a large company would be responsible for storing information,
protecting information, processing the information, transmitting the
information as necessary and later retrieving this information when needed.

Omiete
(2006, P. 102 & 103) stated that information technology could be described
as set of tools that can help provide the right people with the right
information at the right time. Specifically, information technology is any
computer based tool used in an organization to work with information and
support the information and information processing needs of the organisation
such as creating information, presenting the information to the users in
acceptable and appropriate form, conveying information from one location to the
other or from one office/department to the other. The information technology
tools (hardware) include processors, printers, moderns, keyboards, digital
cameras, operating systems and other software etc.

Terry
(1997, P. 2 & 3) stated that information technology is the technology which
supports activities involving the creation, storage, manipulation and
communication of information, together with their related methods, management
and application. Therefore; information technology may be seen as the broad
based technology needed to support information system.

Although
electronic data processing is part of information technology, it is not
sensible to think electronic data processing as being in a water right compartment
and therefore it is important for the data processing students to be ware not
only of electronic data processing but of other areas of information
technology. For that reason, this part not only introduces electronic data
processing but places it in it information technology context. Computer plays a
major and central role in information technology.

Odudimu
(2004) stated that information technology is a term which generally covers the
harnessing of electronic technology for the information needs of business at
all levels. Odudimu added that information technology embraces the use of
interactive view data’ data based systems such as in telecommunication and that
such system is termed because once information has been accessed and displayed
on the screen of a television, the user can access the information.

Ajoa
(2004) also noted that information technology as the distributed processing and
information systems often recognized as local area networks (LAN’s) which
allows the interchange of information between
different parts of world, whilst sharing central resources, such as a
data base supported by a mainframe, high capacity storage and high speed
printing facilities.

According
to wikieducator.org-information technology is the manifestation of public and
private investment in science and engineering that is enabling broad and
significant change in society. Many observations compared the rapid development
and expansion of information technology to the industrial revolution in terms
of it potential scope and impact on society. Few other modern advanced in
technology have the capacity to affect so fundamentally the way people work,
live, learn and govern themselves.

Information
technology reflects the combination of three technology, digital computing,
data storage and ability to transmit digital signal through telecommunication
network. Rapid change in semi conductor technology, information storage and
networking combines with advance in software has enable new application, cost
reduction, and wide spread diffusion of information technology. The expanding
array application makes information technology more useful and further fuel its
expansion.

Information technology deals with information system, data storage,
access, retrieval, analysis and intelligent decision making there from.
Information technology refers to the creation, gathering, processing , storage,
presentation and dissemination of information and also the processes and
devices that enable all these to be done.
