Information Technology Issues Faced By The Business World

Abstract

As the “information age” becomes more centered around technology, the disparity between the use and spread of information technology between developed and developing countries becomes more obvious.  This digital divide further alienates developing nations from the global economy.  However, rapid changes and advances in technology cannot be ignored.  Those developed and technologically advanced nations, such as the United States, use technology to the best of their advantage, especially in the business world.  Because of this, many businesses are turning to the practice of outsourcing.  With so many people using technology, many potential problems exist.  An increasing number of people using technology calls for a need of security.  Many individuals and businesses are obtaining this security through the use of firewalls.  Information technology and the need to protect information are important issues in the business world today.
