How IT has changed Society

IT (Information technology) has changed a variety of things, that’s including Education, Shopping, Banking and much more. Communities and area’s can do a whole lot more due to the impact of IT.  Advantages of this are that people can pick suitable times of for what they want to do. But the disadvantages are that people are losing jobs because of machines and due to factory closures. The world is becoming a better place to live, but with this much that you can do online people are getting lazy which leads to another disadvantage.  I’d say education is the one of the best things that has happened since IT has arrived, because students that struggle to get to school or are disabled can interact with lessons at home by using VLE (Virtual Learning Environment) from their computer. Shopping is also another useful one because you can compare prices very easily and get the right products that you want by searching it on the site instead of walking around the shelves in the supermarket. So these every day things can be done with just a computer. And every day things like this online is increasing rapidly. But the downside that banks and shops are closing because they can be ordered online and that could be a real down for people that don’t use online to shop or bank.
