Want to know what is information technology?

• Information technology (IT) is "the study, design, development, application, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware", according to the Information Technology Association of America (ITAA).[1] IT deals with the use of electronic computers and computer software to securely

• convert, store, protect, process, transmit, input, output, and retrieve information. • the branch of engineering that deals with the use of computers and telecommunications to

retrieve and store and transmit information.• Information technology (IT), as defined by the Information Technology Association of America

(ITAA), is "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware.

• technology tasked with processing, storing and communication of information eg computers, mobile phones, PDAs. Geographical effects have been widespread as the advances in IT have begun to dramatically change behaviour eg working from home, reducing business trips, shopping from home.

• The term "IT" encompasses the methods and techniques used in information handling and retrieval by automatic means. The means include computers, telecommunications and office

systems or any combination of these elements. • the industry or discipline that develops, installs and implements computer and network systems

and applications.

Purpose and Scope of the Information Technology Plan

• Technology is a critical part of the day-to-day operations of the university and is used to enhance student learning; support the preservation, creation, and transmission of knowledge; and support campus management functions.  The purpose of the Information Technology Plan is to guide the ongoing development and evolution of technology in support of the University’s mission and strategic initiatives.  The Information Technology Plan should be aligned with the University’s strategic directions.  When new technologies are considered they must be evaluated relative to how they support the campus mission and strategic initiatives.

• Polk Library technologies and services are not addressed in this IT Plan, although the Library is clearly an integral part of the University’s overall technology environment and cooperatively works with IT units on numerous projects.  Polk Library has developed its own strategic and operational plans.

• Another significant technology unit not addressed in this IT Plan is Residence Life’s Management Information Office (MIO).  Like Polk Library, MIO is an integral part of the University’s overall technology environment and cooperatively works with central IT units on numerous project and initiatives.  MIO has developed its own strategic plan; an executive summary is appended to this IT Plan.

History of Information Technology

• When the terminology 'information technology' is used, mistakenly it describes the entire industry. Information technology basically refers to the employment of computer hardware and software applications to manage data. Departments, such as Management Information Services (MIS), handle the responsibility for the storage, protection, processing, transmission and retrieval of the

information as required.

Information Technology Quotations

• All of the biggest technological inventions created by man - the airplane, the automobile, the computer - says little about his intelligence, but speaks volumes about his laziness.  ~Mark Kennedy

• Inventor:  A person who makes an ingenious arrangement of wheels, levers and springs, and believes it civilization.  ~Ambrose Bierce, The Devil's Dictionary

• Modern technology Owes ecology an apology. ~Alan M. Eddison• It has become appallingly obvious that our technology has

exceeded our humanity ~Albert Einstein • One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men.  No machine

can do the work of one extraordinary man. ~Elbert Hubbard, The Roycroft Dictionary and Book of Epigrams, 1923

• For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled.  ~Richard P. Feynman

Instruction on creating Wordpress• 1) Web Hosting • First off all, you need good web hosting for Wordpress. I recommend going with a web host that has a cPanel, as it

is easy to install Wordpress using Fantastico (a function in the cPanel).• Yes, you could also go with free web hosting, but I don’t recommend that, as Wordpress requires a database to

work and even the best free web hosts have problems with this (this was my own experience with Freehostia.com, I then went for paid hosting).

• I recommend using BlueHost web hosting. They have cPanel and you can host unlimited domains on one hosting account. So you can have as many Wordpress blogs (websites) on one hosting account as you want for just $6.95 per month.

• Or you can also pick one of these top Wordpress hosting providers. You will be fine with the cheapest plans (unless you are going to make your website a really big one).

• 2) Install Wordpress• I recommend installing Wordpress using the one-click WP installation feature with Fantastico in the cPanel. You

can check out this tutorial on how to Install Wordpress Using Fantastico. It’s really easy and quick, easier that you might thought.

• 3) Upload a Wordpress Template• Find a nice Wordpress theme for your website and just upload it to the wp-content/themes/ folder. Then activate it

in the WP admin panel - in Presentation -> Themes.• For good Wordpress themes I recommend you to check out my own themes on my premium Wordpress Themes

site wpmix.com (I’m a Wordpress themes designer). I hope you like them.• 4) Modify the Theme• If you do not want the comments and the “posted by… on…” displayed to make your website not look like a blog,

just delete the following from the index.php (and also delete the same in the files page.php and single.php - if there are these files):

• <?php the_time(’F jS, Y’) ?><?php edit_post_link(’, Edit’); ?> • <div class=”comm”><?php comments_popup_link(’Post Comment’, ‘Comments (1)’, ‘Comments (%)’); ?></div> • Note: Backup the files of your theme before editing it, so that you have the original files in case you do something

wrong.• You might also like to edit some images of the theme like e.g. the header image. I have done both of these

modifications on the theme of this website - I removed the comments and added the text “wordpress.lexty.com” into the header image.
