Development of Technological Applications Flávia Gonçalves Fernandes

Information Technology (IT) is a set of all activities and solutions provided by computer resources aimed at the production, storage, transmission, access, security and use of information. In fact, there are so many applications for IT - and they are linked to so many areas - that there are several definitions for the expression and none of them can determine it completely. It is the area of information technology that deals with information, organization and classification in a way that allows decision making for some purpose. Information technology can contribute to widen or reduce private and public liberties or become an instrument of domination, or even, liberation as it promotes individual/collective development, through contact with the records of social experience, incurs in accentuating what has been learned from the successes, and avoiding mistakes.
