As a broad field that encompasses many of the key technologies of the early twenty-first century, infor-mation technology is poised to remain a major field of study and professional practice for years to come. The field will continue to evolve as new developments in the current tech-nologies are discovered. Information technologies are also highly dependent on human beings who design, operate, and benefit from them. As such, students and practitioners in the field need to develop both a deep knowledge of the technologies used to store, retrieve, and send information and a strong understanding of humankind's complex rela-tionships with information and with the technologies themselves.
