Explanation About IT

The more technology develops, the more fields that exist and need to be developed. One of
them is information technology. This is a field that is closely related to technological
developments. Without information technology, the developments that occur would not be as
advanced as this. Understanding information technology in general is a study of design,
implementation, development, support or management of computer-based information
systems, especially in hardware (hardware) and software (computer software) applications.

Information technology is a technology that has the function of processing data, processing
data, obtaining, compiling, storing, changing data in all kinds of ways to obtain useful or
quality information. And to support and improve the quality of information for the community
quickly and with quality.

A Information Technology Function

Of course, information technology has an important function. It is impossible that the


existence of information technology does not have an important influence on life. There are
at least six functions of information technology namely Capturing, Storing, Processing,
Transmission, Generating. The following is a description of the five functions of information
technology, namely:

1. Capture

Capturing here can be interpreted as inputting. For example, receiving input


from mics, keyboards, scanners, and so on. The Capturing feature may also
be familiar when you use it to store certain information.

2. processing

This information technology function compiles detailed records of activities,


for example receiving input from keyboards, scanners, mics and so on. With
Processing you will more easily process your files and data.

3. Generate (Generating)

The generating function is where technology acts as a tool for organizing


information into a form that is more directed and easy to understand. Simple
examples are graphs and tables.

4. Storing
This information technology function records or stores data and information in
a medium that can be used for other purposes. For example, it is saved to a
hard disk, tape, floppy disk, CD (compact disc) or what is widely used now is
flashdisk and SSD.

5. Transmission

This function of information technology sends data and information from one
location to another through a computer network. For example, sending sales
data from user A to other users. So that we don't need to copy one by one,
just sharing with each other.

B. Information Technology Objectives

The purpose of Information Technology is to solve a problem, open up creativity, increase


effectiveness and efficiency in doing work. So it can be said that because of the need for
problem solving, opening up human creativity and efficiency in doing work, it is the cause or
reference for the creation of information technology. Information technology makes human
work easier and more efficient. In other words, because solutions, creativity, effectiveness
and efficiency are needed in a work system, this information technology was then created.

C. Benefits of Information Technology

The benefits of information technology in daily activities are very important. This benefit can
be used as a support for a better life because there is information technology that can help
activities become more effective and efficient. These benefits can be classified based on
their needs such as:

1. For Education

With the existence of information technology in the world of education,


especially computers, making students more effective in learning. The
computer is a tool that makes it easy to foster student creativity as well as a
source of information.

2. For Engineering and Knowledge


Information technology can be used to study soil structure, wind and weather.
And can help in calculating. Currently access to knowledge is scattered
everywhere and can be accessed easily with just an internet network.
Likewise in the field of Engineering and certain projects.

3. For Government

Information technology can be applied in processing data and information


aimed at the public. Can improve the relationship between the government
and its people. So that what happens in a certain area can be known quickly
using technology.
