“Information and communication technologies are not a panacea or magic formula, but they can improve the lives of all the inhabitants of the planet. They have the tools to reach the Millennium Development Goals, instruments that will advance the cause of freedom and democracy, and the necessary means to spread knowledge and facilitate mutual understanding. “(Kofi Annan, Secretary General of the United Nations Organization, inaugural speech of the first phase of the WSIS, World Summit on the Information Society, Geneva, 2003)

“It” is the area of ​​technology management that includes, but is not limited to processes, computer programs, information systems, hardware, programming languages ​​and data construction. In short, any instrument that analyzes data, information or knowledge perceived in any visual format, through any multimedia distribution mechanism, is considered part of the space known as Information Technology.
