Over the past few decades, technology has expanded tremendously in the workplace and has evolved to be one of the most important aspects of finding and creating new information and material. It has become so relevant to the work place that an article by Axis Technical Group claimed that falling behind in new technological advances could be harmful to those looking to be employed in an office environment. Even learning simple software tools such as Microsoft Office is important in growing and maintaining new technological skills.

The field of information technology (IT) focuses on the application of computers and computer software to manage information systems to meet the needs of industry and government.
