Information technology (IT) is the use of computers to store, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate data or information. IT is typically used
within the context of business operations as opposed to personal or entertainment technologies. IT is considered to be a subset of
information and communications technology (ICT). An information technology system (IT system) is generally an information system, a
communications system or, more specifically speaking, a computer system – including all hardware, software and peripheral equipment –
operated by a limited group of users.
Humans have been storing, retrieving, manipulating, and communicating information since the Sumerians in Mesopotamia developed
writing in about 3000 BC, but the term information technology in its modern sense first appeared in a 1958 article published in the Harvard
Business Review; authors Harold J. Leavitt and Thomas L. Whisler commented that "the new technology does not yet have a single established
name. We shall call it information technology (IT)." Their definition consists of three categories: techniques for processing, the
application of statistical and mathematical methods to decision-making, and the simulation of higher-order thinking through computer
programs.
The term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other information distribution
technologies such as television and telephones. Several products or services within an economy are associated with information technology,
including computer hardware, software, electronics, semiconductors, internet, telecom equipment, and e-commerce.
Based on the storage and processing technologies employed, it is possible to distinguish four distinct phases of IT development:
pre-mechanical (3000 BC – 1450 AD), mechanical (1450–1840), electromechanical (1840–1940), and electronic (1940–present). This article
focuses on the most recent period (electronic).

Website monetization is the process of converting existing traffic being sent to a particular website into revenue. The most popular ways of
monetizing a website are by implementing pay per click (PPC) and cost per impression (CPI/CPM) advertising. Various ad networks facilitate a
webmaster in placing advertisements on pages of the website to benefit from the traffic the site is experiencing.
The two most important metrics that matter to a web publisher looking to monetize their site is "Fill Rate", or the % of inventory
where ads can be shown by a partner advertising network, and eCPM, which is the effective cost per thousand impression dollar amount that is
paid out to the publisher for showing ads to their audience.
Additionally, aside from typical ad display and various advertising generated revenue, some webmasters or site owners utilize Lead
Generation to monetize Internet traffic to a website by creating leads or inquiries from submission forms or phone calls from interested
consumers and then delivering those leads to a business seeking that type of inquiry.
