Positive Impact Of IT

 IT has impacted our everyday lives in many different and useful ways, for the normal person IT is used everyday to help make things more efficient and easier to understand, for companies IT is used to earn them a higher income and make customer usability better and more enjoyable. For a normal person IT is used in many different things that we take for granted nowadays, IT is used when working or studying online, when IT is used this way it can help your workflow and communication in a group, it can also be easier as you have many tools available to you all in one place. You use IT when shopping online as before without IT you would have to of gone out looking for what you want to buy, whereas now with IT you can just load up Amazon, for example, and search for what you want and it will be delivered to you in a short amount of time. IT is used when looking at entertainment online or when playing multiplayer games, without IT you would have to wait for what you want to watch to come on the TV, however with online streaming services you don't have to wait and you can just watch whatever you want, with a cost however. The same with gaming, before IT you had to play by yourself or use LAN, which had a very limited range, but now with IT integrated into everything we do you can play with anyone anywhere, there may be some restrictions like what console they play on or if they have the right subscriptions but otherwise it is a very good improvement over what it was like without IT. It's used in healthcare and medicine, to figure out how to kill virus' and diseases scientist have around the globe have to communicate and share their findings between each other, this is much more effective than the original way which was writing all of their research in journals and this wasn't very good as all that can be destroyed in a fire for example, however now scientists write all of their research in articles that can be saved to the cloud and are able to be sent back and forth between readers and are virtually impossible to lose and completely dispose of.

IT is used a bit different in business but is just as useful for the company as the customer, businesses use IT in mostly the same way as I described at the beginning however businesses also use IT in order to create the websites to sell you things and find out what out what you like to buy and what you may want to buy next, for example if a customer wants to buy a new TV before IT they would have to go through loads of steps to get it and transport it to wherever they wanted, however now with IT they can just go on the businesses website and choose where, how and when to have the TV delivered, this allows the company to have more control on how your experience is when buying with them. Another thing companies like to do now is provide their employees with all of the equipment for them to work effectively anywhere in the world, so that if a employee calls in sick they may still be expected to work as they have all the technology to do so, this was impossible to do before IT as the employees where not able to communicate between one another. Another way businesses use IT is in questionnaires and online surveys to receive customer feedback and therefore improve the product they are trying to sell, this was able to be done before IT however it was a lot less effective and had less people answering or leaving reviews and took a lot longer to read through.
