2. In the middle sense.

Information technology refers to the collection, transmission, storage, processing and expression of information. This definition emphasizes people's general understanding of the functions and processes of information technology.

3. In a narrow sense

Information technology refers to the sum of technologies that use computers, networks, radio, television and other hardware devices, software tools and scientific methods to acquire, process, store, transmit and use various information such as words, images and sounds. This definition emphasizes the modernization and high-tech content of information technology.

The application of information technology includes computer hardware and software, network and communication technology, application software development tools, etc. Since the popularization of computers and the Internet, people have increasingly used computers to produce, process, exchange and disseminate various forms of information (such as books, business documents, newspapers, records, movies, TV programs, sounds, graphics, images, etc.). ).

Extended data

Software and information technology service industry is one of the fields with the most concentrated R&D investment, the most active innovation, the most extensive application and the largest radiation-driven effect in the world. With the development and application of next-generation information technologies such as 5G, big data, artificial intelligence, industrial Internet, and car networking, the software and information technology service industry has ushered in a broader development space and played an important role in promoting high-quality economic development.

With the in-depth promotion and implementation of relevant national policies, a new generation of information technologies, such as cloud computing, big data and artificial intelligence, have accelerated their penetration into various fields of economic and social life, and the trend of service, platform and integration of the software industry has become more obvious.

The demand for software and information technology services in various fields of China's national economy continues to be strong, and industrial development has entered a critical period of integration, innovation and rapid iteration. With the support of national policies, China's software and information technology service industry has maintained steady and rapid development as a whole, and its industrial scale has been further expanded.

The new generation of information technology has been widely applied and innovated in various fields of economy and society, supporting the optimization and upgrading of traditional industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, finance, energy and logistics, and "empowering" traditional industries. More and more typical application cases appear, especially in the industrial field. Industrial Internet is becoming the focus of a new round of industrial revolution and industrial transformation.

The global industrial structure is undergoing profound changes, and the competition around the dominance of technology route, the division of labor in value chain and industrial ecology is becoming increasingly fierce. Developed countries accelerate the strategic layout in the fields of industrial Internet, intelligent manufacturing, artificial intelligence and big data, and seize the leading position in future development, which has a far-reaching impact on the leap-forward development of China's software and information technology service industry.

With the emergence of new economic format, the continuous refinement of specialized division of labor and the continuous expansion of service industry, software and information technology service industry has broad development space.
