CSEC Information Technology (Grade 9) By Dr. Ricardo Neil
RATIONALE
Information Technology (IT) continues to evolve in response to the need for more efficient techniques to manage the significantly increased volume and sophistication of the knowledge reservoir of mankind. It merges the study of Computer Science, Information and Communications Technology (ICT), and Office Automation. It involves the collection, processing, storage, retrieval, and dissemination of information, and impacts both work and social activities. The evolution of the field of Information Technology continues at a rapid pace. New technologies are constantly emerging and existing ones become obsolete soon after they appear. The rapid advances in technology undoubtedly have a profound effect on information technology education and, as such, Information Technology curricula must be refreshed to remain relevant.
