What's IT?
Great question. It's such a broad field, and so often every facet of it is just lumped together under the generic label of IT.
Imagine this exchange: "What do you do?" "Oh, I work in cars." Cars (like IT) covers a heck of a lot of ground. You can assemble cars, create individual bits of cars, service cars, sell cars, drive cars, wreck cars, write about cars, and wash cars. There are many different types of cars too.
But nobody (that I've ever heard, anyway) says that they "work in cars." These days I try to avoid the generalization of IT and make a point of being a bit more specific, unless I don't want the conversation to go that direction. Mostly because I think that IT sounds about as general as 'cars'.
