Information Technology
<business, jargon> (IT) Applied computer systems - both hardware and
software, and often including networking and telecommunications, usually in the
context of a business or other enterprise. Often the name of the part of an
enterprise that deals with all things electronic.
The term "computer science" is usually reserved for the more theoretical,
academic aspects of computing, while the vaguer terms "information systems" (IS)
or "information services" may include more of the human activities and
non-computerised business processes like knowledge management. Others say that
IT includes computer science.
