It also involves using various applications in almost all the fields you can think of -from medicine to biotechnology and even engineering. Wireless application technology, Digital data transmission technology, Multimedia technology, etc. are all offshoots of this Information Technology wave.
Information Technology also uses various equipments like public telephone networks, optical fibre networks, V-SAT terminals (we call them dish antennas), communication satellites etc.
Here are a number of positions to choose in the field of IT
Software Developers/System Analysts/Software Engineer
