Instructor: What is the true meaning of IT,
or what exactly an IT is?
IT is a transfer of information or data
from one person to another
from one location to another through technology.
So whatever we learn,
whether we learn Linux, Windows,
or whichever the technology that we learn,
this is all to facilitate the transfer of information
from one person or one location to another.
So we could also understand the true meaning of IT
by asking some common questions.
The first one is, what,
what exactly are we transferring, or why do we need it?
So we are transferring the files, folders,
images, videos, music, instant messages, emails.
All of these are, actually, you're typing,
you have these documents
you take the pictures, you have them, right?
And then this is what you have,
and then you are transferring.
Now transferring where?
Of course, you're transferring from one person to other,
your friends, your relatives, your coworkers, right,
from locations from here to another country
or to another city and from a company to another company.
Then when are you transferring?
Well, there is no limitation on the time
because you could transfer any time,
24 hours a day, seven days a week, and 365 days a year.
There, you don't have to actually wait
for the post office to open
from nine to five to deliver your mail.
It is open to everyone at any time.
Then why are you doing that?
Right, so all that stuff, what, where, when, but why?
Right, so you these are the things
that helps makes your decision, solve your problems,
let you plan, saves you time.
And once you improve on all that,
then you save a lot of money, right?
Then how do you do all that stuff?
What, where, when, and why?
When you have all those four things together,
then you need certain things,
certain technology to transfer.
And then what is that technology?
That technology, together, combined are the IT components,
and those IT components are like computers,
networking switches, storage and hardware.
So many things combined together makes the IT,
internet technology, the IT company's technology.
