The internet has changed everything when it comes to computers. From having obscure information at our fingertips and communicating with people across the globe at the touch of a button, the internet has made life much easier for the masses. Undisputedly, the internet is here to stay. As such, the process of creating, processing, storing, retrieving, and exchanging data is all digitised these days with the use of computers. Since the advent of the internet in Malaysia, many parents have been encouraging their children to study IT courses, which spurred the many offers of foundation IT courses in Malaysian universities.

First of all, what is Information Technology?

Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to create, process, store, retrieve, and exchange data – with the addition of the internet, people can essentially build communication networks and databases that help the efficiency and functionality of an organisation. Being a country that is developing fast, there is a need for a strong foundation in information technology in Malaysia, especially if we are to keep abreast with the rest of the world in terms of technological development.

Why is Information Technology so popular?

As mentioned earlier, all the information we want is at our fingertips. Communications that used to take weeks, even months, can now be conducted in mere minutes. Seeing how far technology has advanced over the span of 20 years, it is a good idea for future IT students to have a good foundation in IT. The innovations with regards to cloud computing, big data, and everything else computer and internet related required highly skilled workers. Thus, institutes offering foundation in information technology in Malaysia are highly sought. There is always a strong demand for expert IT specialists in Malaysian industries.

What does it take to be a professional IT specialist?

Any IT specialist around the world could tell you that knowledge of computer hardware, software, and networks is the very basic need to become an IT specialist. Those who study IT courses go on to work in a diverse range of jobs, but everyone knows that a solid foundation in IT is the best bet to set you off on your journey to become an IT specialist.
