Basics of the information technology

Information and Communication Technology (ITC)
Information technology (IT) is a technology which uses computers to gather, process, store, protect, and transfer
information. Today, it is common to use the term Information and communications technology (ICT) because it is
unimaginable to work on a computer which is not connected to the network.
The computer consists of:
hardware physical computer parts, palpable and visible
software set of commands that are "understandable" to the computer; instructions to its palpable parts,
giving orders what to do
Networks:

 LAN (Local Area Network) - a small network that physically connects nearby computers (computers
within the firm, organization, or a household)
WAN (Wide Area Network) - a larger network that covers a city or a region,
Internet a world network of connected computers, connected through WAN and LAN
Intranet - a smaller network, closed version of internet to which only certain (authorized) people are
granted access (members of an organization)
Extranet an intranet version, to which only certain people are granted access (not exclusively members
of an organization, but also outsourced experts for performing common tasks),
World Wide Web (WWW) - one of the services that can be used on Internet which enables us to view and
search contents in a form of web-pages
other services on Internet that can be used:
Instant messaging (IM) - Google Talk, Skype, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo! Messenger
Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) - protocol used for voice transfer over IP network; it basically enables
us to use internet in order to make phone-calls
Really Simple Syndication (RSS) used for dissemination of information or articles etc. published on web
page using RSS channel (RSS news usually consists of title, few sentences and link to a web page where
users can read the whole article). Users have to subscribe to RSS channel in order to receive news in their
RSS reader. This eliminates a need for visiting a web page in order to find out latest news
web log blog
podcast - digital file that contains audio or video record
