Information technology, in the first instance, brings to us the latest developments in science, technology, and the arts in the advanced world. We can make use of the latest techniques and methods in the science and the arts within the four corners of our buildings.
We can communicate with anyone anywhere in the world and send him message in jiffy. The email has made it possible to send any amount of information to any place in a few seconds. The receiver of the information can at once send back the reply or his own information. Top on programmers like Gmail messenger, Viber, Skype, etc along with the display of the communicator on the screen, gives a direct personal touch to the exchange of information and ideas.

Some chains of institutions for teaching information technology exist in the world, and they are serving our useful purpose. However, they are mostly expensive and beyond the reach of the common people. The manufacture of import of the best modern computer equipment is essential for the promotion of this technology.
The promotion of the information technology is directly linked with the availability of high-class work and jobs in industry, commerce, administration. If the IT graduates cannot find jobs in different fields, they will be discouraged from studying further and will, naturally, look for better employment in the more developed countries. Rapid and planned industrial and agricultural development is necessary for the absorption of IT and computer experts.
The world can hope for a truly bright and glorious future if information technology goes on expending in the developing countries as well. It holds the key to the solution if our most pressing problems like poverty, ignorance, backwardness prevailing in most of the countries of the world.
