When we talk about the background we are to dance down to the information meaning of information technology and what is all about, since it is the central of thought.

However According to Akuwudike and Ugwu (2002). Information technology is the collection and gathering recording, storage, processing and communication a macro – electronic based, combination of computer and telecommunication technology. It is however, based on the convergence of data processing and communication techniques, the former providing the information while the latter provided the vehicle for disseminating or communicating it is hence, a relatively new filled that combines the technology of the computer with that of telecommunications and therefore represent the latest form of man-machine interface.

Moreover, it has played a vital role in the newer field of experts systems and artificial intelligence. Experts are able to achieve these fits because at the abundant knowledge on, and the relevance of information theory which itself is the study of information and the way if is communicated (Armstrong 1993).

Also information Technology can be said to a relatively new field that combines the technology of the computer with that of communication, concerned with the gathering, recording, storage, processing, and dissemination of information and represents the largest form of man – machine interface such as internet services; A1 experts system just but few (Jan 1987).
