If companies want to find a steady pool of future tech employees, they’re
going to have to do a better job convincing teens and young adults that the job
will be rewarding.
About 97% of teens and young adults between the ages of 13 and 24 say they
like tech. But only 18% of them expressed strong interest in a career in
information technology, according to a recent study released by CompTIA. About
26% of male respondents said they are definitely interested in an IT career
while only 9% of females said the same.
In the 1960s and 1970s, the term information technology (IT) was a little known phrase that was used
by those who worked in places like banks and hospitals to describe the
processes they used to store information. With
the paradigm shift to computing technology and
"paperless" workplaces, information technology has come to be a household phrase. It
defines an industry that uses computers, networking, software programming, and
other equipment and processes to store, process, retrieve, transmit, and
protect information.

Impact on the general public
High speed Internet connectivity has become more widely available at a

decreased. Consequently, personal videoconferencing systems based on a webcam,
personal computer system, software compression and broadband Internet
connectivity have become affordable to the general public.

computer graphics are still widely used for low bandwidth and faster real-time
rendering needs.

Information technology is now ubiquitous in the lives of people across the
globe. These technologies take many forms such as personal computers, smart
phones, the internet, web and mobile phone applications, digital assistants,
and cloud computing. In fact the list is growing constantly and new forms of
these technologies are working their way into every aspect of daily life. In
some cases, such as can be seen in massive multiplayer online games (see section
2.1.1 below), these technologies are even opening up new ways of interacting
with each other. Information technology at its basic level is technology that
