Information technology has been one of the most encouraging research areas throughout the globe over the past two decades. A number of remarkable advancements are made in the field of IT, in the recent times. Artificial intelligence, geotargeting, automation, and other advancements in information technology specifically set the stage for more technological evolution. Information Technology is the key resource for the development of an individual, society, community and the nation. Governments are investing profoundly in Information Technology research and universities are concentrating on it as it is considered as a rapidly developing field of science.
Artificial intelligence is considered as one of the greatest advancement made in the field of IT. It has brought a very huge change in almost every aspect of our daily life. Artificial intelligence (AI) is the clone of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. AI tools present a range of new functionality for different businesses and daily work. The AI machines are playing a huge role in the manufacturing industry as automotive industry using AI robots for the manufacturing of automobiles, in our houses we are using robot vacuum cleaner. Thus AI machines and robots are playing a vital role in the recent technological development.
With the recent IT advancements, neuroscience and bioscience have also made astonishing developments and changed medical science to a great extent. Computational neuroscience is the field of study in which mathematical tools and theories are used to investigate brain function. It serves as the primary theoretical method for investigating the function and mechanism of the nervous system. Cloud computing allows IT professionals to store data and access resources through internet. Cloud computing relies on sharing of resources to achieve coherence and economies of scale. Cloud computing solves many storage and security problems.
Information retrieval is another recent advancement in the field of IT. Information retrieval concerns the retrieving of relevant information from databases. Information retrieval covers so much, Web searches, Desktop searches, Blog searches and Media retrieval etc. Automated information retrieval systems are used to reduce information overload.
The recent IT advancements has led us to a new field of research called human-computer interference. Human-computer interference researches the design and use of computer technology, focused on the interfaces between people and computers. The goals of HCI are to produce usable and safe systems, as well as functional systems. 
Intelligent sensors and wireless sensor network are some other wonderful recent IT advancements. An intelligent sensor is a sensor that takes some predefined action when it senses the appropriate input. A wireless sensor network refers to a group of spatially dispersed and dedicated sensors for monitoring and recording the physical conditions of the environment and organizing the collected data at a central location. Another recent advancement in the field of IT is internet of things (IoT). The internet of things is a network of devices such as vehicles and home appliances that contain electronics, software, sensors and connectivity which allows these things to connect, interact and exchange data. There are many technologies that enable the IoT.
