Why Most People Fail to Get I.T.

The Information Technology field is immensely vast, however, one can break it down in these core aspects.

What is IT?

• Programming
• Computer Networking
• Databases
• Operating Systems

The problem

The issue is that most people, even ones on the field, fail to grasp the core basics. They try to invent theories on what information technology is, and end up abstracting real problems with layers of garbage that just create new problems.

IT is not social studies and humanities, it is all about engineering and math, knowing how to approach a problem and solve it in the most optimal and correct way, it involves logic reasoning without a place for ambiguities.

What should be done

We should take a more know-how approach to learning and teaching, especially in engineering and IT. Keep abstractions at a minimum and prioritize knowledge.
