We are living in the age of globalisation. Now the whole world can be considered a single village or a family. In this respect, the countries are different members cooperating and competing with one another. Now trade and commerce has surpassed all narrow boundaries of nations. Macroeconomics has experienced a great change in its theories and approaches. Theories and practices of management have become more holistic and culture-sensitive. The whole edifice of civilization is therefore centering around the efficient use of information. The availability of information which is a precondition for prefect competition must be ensured to ensure quality, ethics, survival and progress. Therefore the importance of the IT can hardly be overstated. Truly speaking, IT has become the central nervous system of the world economy. We cannot imagine an hour of efficient activities and fruitful decision making without the IT facilities in this age of industrialisation.
Information Technology is the result to the development of science. It has become a well-developed body of knowledge. Now almost all universities of the world including the ones established in Bangladesh are offering well-planned courses on IT. A very special and functional branch of this field is the Management Information System abbreviated as MIS. Needless to say, this branch of science has become part and parcel organisational administration.
Many programmes, courses and examinations are held with the aid of computer. The results of different examinations are also known very quickly. On-line banking, ATM service and Credit Card opportunity have made modern life easier and more comfortable. Moreover, publication industry and billing system become developed and speedy.
Nobody knows the future of further change and development of Information Technology. None can tell about what high a summit the IT will soar in near future. IT has really made world smaller and .smaller. It brings the world in the palm of a man's hand. Therefore, a precondition for surviving in today's world is to keep pace with all latest developments of the IT.
