    technology and almost everything is affected by it whether be it in a good way
    or in a bad way.

    easier as we can communicate to a person who lives in the other corner of the
    world by making a phone call or through video conferencing. One of the best
    advantage of information technology is that it helps in storing loads and loads
    of information. Information technology allows us to do things in one place.

    flight tickets has now become the game of pressing a button. It can easily be
    done through the internet. We need not to write and post letters anymore, our
    message can be conveyed easily through e- mail, SMS, WhatsApp etc. The
    rapid improvement in the field of technology has simulated the globalization
    process so fast. Information Technology can solve several problems such as
    poverty, illiteracy, disease, unemployment, etc. The quality of education in the

    become a major concern these days due to which privacy of an individual
    comes in danger. IT has lead to an increase in cyber-crimes and terrorism. IT

    sometimes. It is the main reason of socially disconnecting from each other as
    we are too much relied on the gadgets. It is a type of addiction one is having
    and suffering a lot because of it. It makes one lazy and generates obesity.

    some concerns. The IT sector has shown tremendous growth and has
    generated a lot of jobs for the IT professional. It is a boon for the world if used
    in a positive manner and vice versa.
