    Cambridge International AS & A Level Information Technology encourages learners to meet the needs of Higher Education courses in Information Technology as well as employers. Information Technology (IT) is the application of technology to process information. In a world where IT is constantly changing, individuals increasingly need technological and information literacy skills that include the ability to gather, process and manipulate data. The impact of IT on society is enormous and as the percentage of businesses and households connected to communication networks such as the internet grows, so does the need for individuals who understand these new technologies.
    Impact of IT The application of technology to process information impacts all aspects of our lives. The enormity of the impact can be seen in industry and commerce, transport, leisure, medicine, in the workplace and the home. Communications using technologies have made the world seem smaller. 

    • Hardware and software Hardware and software interact with each other in an IT system. It is important to understand how these work, and how they work together with each other and with us in our environment.
    • Network Computer systems can be connected together to form networks allowing them to share data and resources. The central role networks play in the internet, mobile and wireless applications and cloud computing has rapidly increased the demand for network capacity and performance. 
    • The internet is a global communications network that uses standardised communications protocols to allow computers worldwide to connect and share information in many different forms. The impact of the internet on our lives is profound. While the services the internet supports can provide huge benefits to society they have also introduced issues, for example security of data. 
    • System life cycle Information systems are developed within a planned cycle of stages that cover the initial development of the system and continue through to its scheduled updating or redevelopment. 
    • New technologies as the information industry changes so rapidly, it is important to keep track of new and emerging technologies and consider how they might affect everyday life.
