Introduction: Ten years ago, the internet was a fuzzy concept that people sort of knew about, but few

people were actually using. People were aware of a borderless information super system,

linked around the globe by computers, but it was accessible to only those in the know.

The internet isn't the only aspect of technology that is springing up everywhere. Personal

computers can do your taxes, email can reconnect you with long-lost friends, and businesses

have changed dramatically since the information age began. There are databases, networks,

operating systems and applications programs. Disks, monitors, printers, hard drives and

software are used on a daily basis by millions of people. The whole business is confusing and

complex. That is why information technologies specialists are there to monitor, install, repair,

and develop all aspects of the computer age.

In the early days of computer development, there was no such thing as a college degree in IT.

Software development and computer programming were best left to the computer scientists

and mathematical engineers, due to their complicated nature. As time passed and technology

advanced, such as with the advent of the personal computer in the 1980s and its everyday use

in the home and the workplace, the world moved into the information age.

Information technologies specialists can be found in small companies and large

organizations. They work in a number of capacities, including web design, site

administration, network and systems administration, advise users on breakdowns, fix

software problems, research the web for various companies and individuals, and maintain

sites for companies and individuals. They are experts when it comes to the information

superhighway, and can surf effectively, efficiently, and design, develop, and discover just

about anything having to do with computers, from knowing which buttons perform which

functions to ensuring a system stays active for long periods of time.

In addition to handling problems, IT specialists within the company also keep the computers

running smoothly on a day-to-day basis. This can also mean installing the actual software on

employee's computers. Specialists may also respond to calls for computer help from staff

who do not know how to resolve problems on their own.

What is IT and IT Specialist:

Information

Technology (IT) is concerned with technology to treat information. The acquisition,

processing, storage and dissemination of vocal, pictorial, textual and numerical

information by a microelectronics-based combination of computing and

telecommunications are its main fields. IT is the area of managing technology and spans a

wide variety of areas that include computer software, information systems, computer

hardware, programming languages but are not limited to things such as processes, and

data constructs. In short, anything that renders data, information or perceived knowledge

in any visual format whatsoever, via any multimedia distribution mechanism, is

considered part of the IT domain. IT provides businesses with four sets of core services to

help execute the business strategy: business process automation, providing information,

connecting with customers, and productivity tools.

An IT specialist, or information technology specialist, is a person who works with computers

and other technologies such as telephones and fax machines. Many companies have an IT

specialist on staff who helps with the maintenance of computers and computer networks

within the organization.

IT specialist of whole world 5 | P a g e

IT specialists can handle any issues and problems relating to technology, it is most common

for an IT specialist to work within the field of computers. Because computers have become so

pervasive, almost every workplace, school, public institution and private home has one. As

such, there is a great number of potential problems that can arise for novice computer users,

from how to set up a network to how to troubleshoot software that is not working properly.

As such, IT specialists are much in demand within the computer industry.

Most IT specialists are able to correct software problems themselves. For example, specialists

may install fixes for software released by a manufacturer or may uninstall and reinstall

software that is not working properly. Hardware problems may either be fixed in-house by IT

specialists or the IT specialist may be required to outsource the repair if the problem is very

complex or requires special tools. Information Technology Specialists (IT Specialists) in

Engineering Computing report to the Associate Dean of Engineering (Computing) and are

responsible for support and maintenance of computer systems, the faculty’s network

infrastructure and the provision of quality computing services, support and training for

academic departments in Engineering. These responsibilities include the administrative,

student, network and research computing environments and the supporting infrastructure.  IT

Specialists must work closely with IT staff in the Departments to achieve EC’s goal of

providing the Faculty of Engineering with effective information systems and technology. The

IT Specialists are familiar with, comply with and promote the University’s policies related to

information systems and technology. All positions report to the Associate Dean of

Engineering (Computing) but may receive functional input from other members of the team.

IT specialists usually need some formal education beyond high school to get hired. While

some employers will hire IT specialists with only an associate's degree, many jobs require at

least a bachelor's degree

Literature Review:

One of the largest challenges for all classifications of IT professionals continues to be the energyand effort required to keep technical skills current. The necessity to assimilate increasing amounts

IT specialist of whole world 6 | P a g e

of new knowledge (e.g., Benamati & Lederer, 2001; Lee et al., 1995; Ryan, 1999; Swanke, 1999) is a source of major stress for those engaged in IT work. “Maintaining competence is a continuous challenge resulting from the continuous stream of technical innovation in applications, aswell as the capability, diversity, and complexity of IT and the importance of IT innovation in theoverall performance of organizations” (Schambach & Blanton, 2002, p. 83). Not only are advancementsbeing made in technology’s hardware (microprocessors, storage medium, opticaldisks, etc.), but countless changes also affect software development methodologies (Lee et al.,1995). Technology is changing so rapidly and is so complex that IT professionals find themselvescaught in the turbulence of contemporary organizations (e.g., AlBanna & Osterhaus, 1998;Biskup & Kautz, 1994).

Computer technology has contributed in significant ways to the complexities and demands of thecontemporary world. One of the driving forces and primary characteristics of IT work is continuouschange. Technological change often originates from advancements in technology, such ashardware, software, and telecommunications products, and comes from the external marketplace.Over 20 years ago, Huber (1984) described post-industrial society as increasingly complex andincreasingly turbulent. Further, he stated that “post-industrial society will be characterized byqualitatively greater levels of knowledge, complexity, and turbulence, and that in each case theselevels will be increasing at a considerable rate” (p. 933). In short, chaotic and turbulent change isprolific and is likely to continue accelerating into the future (Benamati & Lederer, 2001).

Qualification of IT Specialist:

An IT specialists need to be extremely knowledgeable about computers in general, though

many specialize in a particular software, operating system or other niche. They should have

expert knowledge of computer hardware, software, circuit boards, chips, processors and

electronic equipment. Mathematical knowledge is also important for this career, and IT

IT specialist of whole world 7 | P a g e

specialists should be familiar with the principles of calculus, geometry, statistics and algebra.

IT specialists also need to know about telecommunications systems and should understand

the principles of things like broadcasting, control and switching.

IT specialists must be very efficient to be able to finish the job quickly and thoroughly;

certain skills and personal qualities make the process easier and contribute to an IT

specialist's success. Being a good listener is extremely important for this career, as IT

specialists are constantly listening to clients describing their computer problems. They need

to know how to interpret this information, even when the client is not very knowledgeable

about computers. IT specialists are analytical, detail-minded individuals who are good at

solving problems both big and small. They also need excellent verbal and written

communications skills to be able to instruct clients on how to solve computer issues.

Education requirements vary depending on the IT specialty. While some IT specialists work

their way up with professional certifications, most experts begin their careers with an

information technology degree at the associate or bachelor level. IT certifications are useful

for building specialist expertise and staying up to date on the latest advances in a specific area

of information technology.

IT Specialists consult on both hardware and software issues. Although programming is not

the focus of their work, they are expected to understand enough about programming to

provide support. Maintenance of some activities e.g. user account maintenance, web page

design, security, maintenance etc. requires programming skills such as php and pearl. It is

also acknowledged that Engineering Computing staff must be conversant in computing

related technologies such as PDA’s, telecommunications equipment, and other devices used

for research and increasingly for administrative purposes.IT Specialists are expected to keep

pace with latest developments and technologies in all areas, but especially with respect to

their major role eg. hardware, software, networks, applications

Bill Gates

IT specialist of whole world 9 | P a g e

William Henry "Bill" Gates (born October 28, 1955 in Seattle , Washington) is one of the

most influential people in the world. He is cofounder of one of the most recognized brands in

the computer industry with nearly every desk top computer using at least one software

program from Microsoft

Gates was born and grew up in Seattle, Washington USA. His father, William H. Gates II was

a Seattle attorney and his mother, Mary Maxwell Gates was a school teacher and chairperson

of the United Way charity.

Gates and his two sisters had a comfortable upbringing, with Gates being able to attend the

exclusive secondary "Lakeside School".At 13 he enrolled in the Lakeside School, an

exclusive preparatory school.When he was in the eighth grade, the Mothers Club at the

school used proceeds from Lakeside School's rummage sale to buy a Teletype Model 33 ASR

terminal and a block of computer time on a General Electric (GE) computer for the school's

students.

Gates took an interest in programming the GE system in BASIC, and was excused from math

classes to pursue his interest. He wrote his first computer program on this machine: an

implementation of tic-tac-toe that allowed users to play games against the computer. Gates

was fascinated by the machine and how it would always execute software code perfectly.

When he reflected back on that moment, he said, "There was just something neat about the

machine." After the Mothers Club donation was exhausted, he and other students sought

time on systems including DEC PDP minicomputers. One of these systems was a PDP-10

belonging to Computer Center Corporation (CCC), which banned four Lakeside students—

Gates, Paul Allen, Ric Weiland, and Kent Evans—for the summer after it caught them

exploiting bugs in the operating system to obtain free computer time.

Gates and Allen worked on a version of the programming language BASIC, that was the

basis for the MITS Altair (the first microcomputer available). He did not go on to graduate

from Harvard University as he left in his junior year to start what was to become the largest

computer software company in the world; Microsoft Corporation.

"To enable people and businesses throughout the world to realize their full potential."

Microsoft Mission Statement

IT specialist of whole world 10 | P a g e

After dropping out of Harvard Bill Gates and his partner Paul Allen set about revolutionizing

the computer industry. Gates believed there should be a computer on every office desk and in

every home.

In 1975 the company Micro-soft was formed, which was an abbreviation of microcomputer

software. It soon became simply "Microsoft"® and went on to completely change the way

people use computers.

Microsoft helped to make the computer easier to use with its developed and purchased

software. The success of Microsoft began with the MS-DOS computer operating system that

Gates licensed to IBM. Gates also set about protecting the royalties that he could acquire

from computer software by aggressively fighting against all forms of software piracy,

effectively creating the retail software market that now exists today. This move was quite

controversial at the time as it was the freedom of sharing that produced much innovation and

advances in the newly forming software industry. But it was this stand against software

piracy, that was to be central in the great commercial success that Microsoft went on to

achieve.

Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Elliot Zuckerberg (born May 14, 1984) is an American computer programmer and

Internet entrepreneur. He is best known for co-creating the social networking site

Facebook, .In 2010, Zuckerberg was named Time magazine's “Person of the Year. youngest

billionaires. “

Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software as a child in middle school. His

father taught him Atari BASIC Programming in the 1990s, and later hired software developer

David Newman to tutor him privately. Newman calls him a "prodigy," adding that it was

"tough to stay ahead of him." Zuckerberg also took a graduate course in the subject at Mercy

College near his home while he was still in high school. He enjoyed developing computer

programs, especially communication tools and games.

IT specialist of whole world 11 | P a g e

In one such program, since his father's dental practice was operated from their home, he built

a software program he called "ZuckNet," which allowed all the computers between the house

and dental office to communicate by pinging each other. It is considered a "primitive" version

of AOL's Instant Messenger, which came out the following year.

During Zuckerberg's high school years, under the company name Intelligent Media Group, he

built a music player called the Synapse Media Player that used artificial intelligence to learn

the user's listening habits, which was posted to Slashdot and received a rating of 3 out of 5

from PC Magazine.

By the time he began classes at Harvard, he had already achieved a "reputation as a

programming prodigy," notes Vargas. He studied psychology and computer science as well

as belonging to Alpha Epsilon Pi, a Jewish fraternity. In his sophomore year, he wrote a

program he called CourseMatch, which allowed users to make class selection decisions based

on the choices of other students and also to help them form study groups. A short time later,

he created a different program he initially called Facemash that let students select the best

looking person from a choice of photos. According to Zuckerberg's roommate at the time,

Arie Hasit, "he built the site for fun."

Hasit explains:

We had books called Face Books, which included the names and pictures of everyone who

lived in the student dorms. At first, he built a site and placed two pictures, or pictures of

two males and two females. Visitors to the site had to choose who was "hotter" and

according to the votes there would be a ranking. “

Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dormitory room on February 4, 2004. An

earlier inspiration for Facebook may have come from Phillips Exeter Academy, the prep

school from which Zuckerberg graduated in 2002.

Facebook published its own student directory, “The Photo Address Book,” which students

referred to as “The Facebook.” Such photo directories were an important part of the student

social experience at many private schools. With them, students were able to list attributes

such as their class years, their proximities to friends, and their telephone numbers.

IT specialist of whole world 12 | P a g e

On May 24, 2007, Zuckerberg announced Facebook Platform, a development platform for

programmers to create social applications within Facebook. Within weeks, many applications

had been built and some already had millions of users. It grew to more than 800,000

developers around the world building applications for Facebook Platform. On November 6,

2007, Zuckerberg announced a new social advertising system called Beacon, which enabled

people to share information with their Facebook friends based on their browsing activities on

other sites.

A movie based on Zuckerberg and the founding years of Facebook, The Social Network was

released on October 1, 2010. After Zuckerberg was told about the film, he responded,

The film is based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich. The film's

screenwriter Aaron Sorkin told New York magazine , "I don't want my fidelity to be to the

truth; I want it to be to storytelling", adding, "What is the big deal about accuracy purely

for accuracy's sake, and can we not have the true be the enemy of the good?" Upon

winning the Golden Globes award for Best Picture on January 16, 2011, producer Scott

Rudin thanked Facebook and Zuckerberg "for his willingness to allow us to use his life

and work as a metaphor through which to tell a story about communication and the way

we relate to each other.”

Vanity Fair magazine named Zuckerberg number 1 on its 2010 list of the Top 100 "most

influential people of the Information Age". Zuckerberg ranked number 23 on the Vanity

Fair 100 list in 2009.] In 2010, Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in New Statesman's

annual survey of the world's 50 most influential figures.

Peter Norton

Peter Norton (born November 14, 1943) is an American programmer, software publisher,

author, and philanthropist. He is best known for the computer programs and books that bear

his name. Norton sold his PC-Software business to Symantec Corporation in 1990

Norton was born in Aberdeen, Washington and raised in Seattle. He attended Reed College in

Portland, Oregon, graduating in 1965. Before discovering microcomputers, he spent a dozen

IT specialist of whole world 13 | P a g e

years working on mainframes and minicomputers for companies including Boeing and Jet

Propulsion Laboratory.

His earliest low level system utilities were designed to allow mainframe programmers access

to some previous RAM that IBM normally reserved for diagnostics.

Its 1982 introduction of the Norton Utilities included Norton's popular UNERASE tool to

retrieve erased data from DOS disks. A publisher called him and asked him if he wanted to

write a book. Norton's first computer book, Inside the IBM PC: Access to Advanced

Features & Programming (Techniques),was published in 1983. Norton wrote several other

technical manuals and introductory computing books..

Norton Computing revenue rose to $5 million in 1986, $11 million in 1987, and $15 million

in 1988. Its products won several utility awards. Norton himself was named

“Entrepreneur of the Year by Arthur Young & Co. (1988 High Technology Award Winner

Greater Los Angeles Region) and Venture Magazine.”

The Norton brand name lives on in such Symantec products as Norton AntiVirus, Norton

360, Norton Internet Security, Norton Personal Firewall, Norton SystemWorks (which now

contains a current version of the Norton Utilities), Norton AntiBot, Norton AntiSpam, Norton

GoBack (formerly Roxio GoBack), Norton PartitionMagic (formerly PowerQuest

PartitionMagic), and Norton Ghost.

David Bradley

David Bradley was one of the twelve engineers who worked on the original IBM PC,

developing the computer ROM BIOScode. He is credited by some for inventing the "Control-

Alt-Delete" key combination that was used to reboot the computer. Bradley developed the

ROM BIOS. That got him promoted to manage the BIOS and diagnostics for the IBM PC XT.

Bradley's career has been at IBM. Bradley began at IBM after receiving a PhD from Purdue

in 1975. He worked on the Series/1 system. In 1978 he developed the I/O system for the

System/23 Datamaster.

IT specialist of whole world 14 | P a g e

In November 1987 Bradley became manager of advanced processor design. His group

developed the 486/25 Power Platform and the PS/2 Models 90 and 95. In 1991 he became

manager of systems architecture for the Entry Systems Technology group. In 1992 he became

the architecture manager for the group that developed a personal computer using the

PowerPC RISC microprocessor.

Tim Paterson

Tim Paterson (born 1956) is an American computer programmer , best known as the

original author of MS-DOS , the most widely used personal computer operating system in

the 1980s.

Paterson was educated in the Seattle Public Schools, graduating from Ingraham High School

in 1974. He attended the University of Washington, working as a repair technician for The

Retail Computer Store in the Green Lake area of Seattle, Washington, and graduated magna

cum laude with a degree in Computer Science in June 1978. Paterson went to work for

Seattle Computer Products as a designer and engineer. He designed a schematic of

Microsoft's Z-80 SoftCard which had a Z80 CPU and ran the CP/M operating system on an

Apple II.

Intel released the 8086 CPU, and Paterson went to work designing an S-100 8086 board,

which went to market in November 1979. Paterson began work on QDOS (Quick and Dirty

Operating System) in April 1980 to fill that void, copying the APIs of CP/M from sources

including the published CP/M manual so that it would be highly compatible. QDOS was soon

renamed as 86-DOS. Version 0.10 was complete by July 1980. By version 1.14 86-DOS had

grown to 4,000 lines of assembly code.

After a brief second stint with SCP, Paterson started his own company, Falcon Technology,

which was bought by Microsoft in 1986. Paterson did a second stint with Microsoft from

1986–1988 and a third stint from 1990-1998. During his third stint at Microsoft, he worked

on Visual Basic.

IT specialist of whole world 15 | P a g e

Paterson also races rally cars in the SCCA Pro Rally series, and even engineered his own trip

computer which he integrated into the axle of a four-wheel drive Porsche 911.

Peter MacDonald

Peter MacDonald is a Canadian software engineer, best known as the creator of Softlanding

Linux System (SLS), widely regarded as the first complete Linux distribution.Some of his

work served as a foundation of Wine. He also created the Tcl web browser BrowseX, and the

PDQI suite of Tcl utilities.

Peter Charles MacDonald was born in Victoria, British Columbia on June 28, 1957. He

graduated from the Computer Science program of the University of Victoria with a BSc

(1989) and MSc (1996, master's thesis: Decomposing the Linux Kernel into Dynamically

Loadable Modules).

MacDonald co-developed early features of the Linux kernel in the early 1990s, including

shared libraries, pseudo terminals, the select call and virtual consoles. He announced

Softlanding Linux System (SLS), the first standalone Linux install, for testing in August 1992

(on 15 floppy disks), and for general release in October 1992 (recommending at least 10 MB

of disk space).

MacDonald founded BrowseX Systems in 1999,and put out version 1.0 of BrowseX, an open

source Tcl-based cross-platform web browser, meant to be smaller and faster than Netscape.

The last update of BrowseX was in 2003; the company was renamed to PDQ Interfaces Inc.,

and put out a set of various TCL based utilities.

The initial 1993 Wine Windows emulator was based on Tcl/Tk windowing functions

MacDonald wrote (though later rewritten as direct Xlib calls ).

Steve Gibson

1955, Dayton, Ohio) is a computer enthusiast, best known for its SpinRite software.

Gibson had a very long career in the technology field; his resume lists jobs he had held back

to the age of 13. He began in hardware projects but moved more toward software

development in the 1980s. One of his early successes during this period was a light pen

graphics system for the Apple II.

Gibson is an advocate of assembly language programming, and prides himself on writing

smaller applications mostly in Intel x86 assembly language, including much of the code of

the SpinRite hard disk utility used from the beginning of the PC era. He is one of several

advocates of optimizing computer programs and reducing the size of their executables.

In the 1990s, Gibson began to move into the computer security field, developing and

distributing a number of free security tools, including the ShieldsUp! port-scanner, and the

LeakTest firewall tester. In 2000, Gibson created one of the first adware removal programs,

OptOut.

Gibson is working on the DNS Nameserver Spoofability Test, an online utility used to test

whether the systems configured nameservers are vulnerable to DNS spoofing. Steve's future

plans include work on his forthcoming VPN product CryptoLink

DNS Benchmark, released September 30, 2010. SecurAble is a program that will tell the user

if their CPU supports 64-bit computing, DEP (Data Execution Prevention) and hardware

level virtualization ..

IT specialist in Bangladesh:

At present Information Technology (IT) is a

subject of widespread interest in Bangladesh. There are around 100 software houses, 35

data entry centres, thousands of formal and informal IT training centres and numerous

computer shops. The Government has declared IT as a thrust sector and that computer

training centre will be set up in each divisional and district headquarters of Bangladesh.

Import of computer hardware and software is now duty free, VSAT is deregulated, high

speed DDN (Digital Data Network) has been introduced. One fourth of the 45

recommendations of JRC report on software export has already been implemented; rest is

in the process of implementation. A tremendous activity is going on in every sector

including e-commerce, e-governance, computer networking, Internet, web browsing, web

applications, multimedia product development etc. Some active steps and initiatives are

already there, as described below for an exposure of the present and future prospects of IT

in Bangladesh.

Muhammed Zafar Iqbal

Muhammed Zafar Iqbal (born December 23, 1952) is a Bangladeshi scientist, writer of

science-fiction, children's books, and also a well-known political columnist. He is currently a

professor of CSE and EEE department at Shahjalal University of Science and Technology.

IT specialist of whole world 19 | P a g e

He passed SSC exam from Bogra Zilla School in 1968 and HSC exam from Dhaka College in

1970. He earned his BSc in physics from Dhaka University in 1976. Then Iqbal went to

University of Washington to obtain his PhD. He earned the degree in 1982. He worked as a

post-doctoral researcher at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from 1983 to 1988.

He then joined Bell Communications Research (Bellcore), a separate corporation from the

Bell Labs, which is now known as Telcordia Technologies, as a Research Scientist.

He left the institute in 1994 and joined the faculty of the Department of Computer Science

and Engineering of Shahjalal University of Science and Technology.

MUNIR HASANMunir hasan born in Chittagong.In his early school days, Munir was active in restoring a

fading sport and cultural organization for students which he later chaired. He organized

debate and quiz clubs and also led the cricket team in the intercommunity cricket

competition.

As a student at the engineering university, Munir was a student movement leader at a time

when students’ organizations were officially banned. One of his more notable initiatives was

organizing the biggest ever scientific expedition in Bangladesh: 200+ young enthusiasts were

taken to Sundarban to observe the total solar eclipse in 1995. The findings were published in

national dailies, journals, and in a British astronomical journal.

After graduation, Munir remained passionate about spreading mathematics and has

capitalized on his new position at the engineering university to spread his ideas.

In 1991, as an employee of the university, Munir was invited to join a group tasked with

promoting the math Olympiad in Bangladesh. He became the director of a new program to

implement math Olympiad training; hoping to utilize the program and mandate to find

workable, learner-friendly solutions to improve both the aptitudes and attitudes towards

mathematics in Bangladesh.

First, students are engaged in the mathematics festivals through relationship and character-

building activities as students share stories, sing, play sports, and gather around bonfires to

talk and develop friendships. An oath is taken by the students at this stage to be honest, clean,

and to never drink or take drugs.

IT specialist of whole world 20 | P a g e

Next, students participate in the International Mathematics Olympiad. Not only is the

Olympiad exciting for a young student, but it serves to dramatically open their eyes to the

power and excitement of mathematics and the important role it will play in their future.

Finally, the mathematics festival abandons the current academic culture of rote memorization

and lectures for in-depth and open question and answer sessions with teachers.

Why we call them IT Specialist:

IT Specialists typically have a degree in Computer

Science, Information Science, or Information Systems Management or they may have a

degree in a field such as Mathematics, Statistics, Operations Research or Engineering

where there is a heavy concentration of computer science/information science

coursework. Candidates may also qualify based on experience in the Information

Technology field.

Looks like society is fooling us into believing that all successful people are exceptions. It is

forcing us into taking the safe path of qualifications. This is just leading to some kind of

boring homogeneity in society. Graduates are saddled with huge student loans unable to

pursue their passions as their whole qualifications will go waste if they do something

different.

According to the qualification of IT specialist we see that most of the IT specialist had

knowledge about Information,Communication or Networking Technology.They work in IT

sector.Fact is that they should know about computers in general, many specialize in a

particular software, operating system or other niche. They should have expert knowledge of

computer hardware, software, circuit boards, chips, processors and electronic equipment.If

you see their profile we can find that most of them are software developer or study in

networking or communication sector.

Bill Gates took an interest in programming the GE system in BASIC at the very begnning.At

the age of 13 he wrote his 1st program tic-tac-toe a game ,users play games against the

computer. When Bill Gates started studying at Harvard University in 1973 he worked on a

version of the programming language BASIC. In 1975 Micro-soft was formed, which was an

abbreviation of microcomputer software.That makes him not only famous but also

billoner .And creates a stage in It specialist for him.

Next we can see Mark Zuckerberg. He is best known for co-creating the social networking

site Facebook. Zuckerberg began using computers and writing software as a child in middle

school. He enjoyed developing computer programs, especially communication tools and

games. Zuckerberg launched Facebook from his Harvard dormitory room on February 4,

2004. It published its own student directory, “The Photo Address Book,” which students

referred to as “The Facebook.” On May 24, 2007, Zuckerberg announced Facebook Platform,

a development platform for programmers to create social applications within Facebook. It

grew to more than 800,000 developers around the world building applications for Facebook

Platform. Vanity Fair magazine named Zuckerberg number 1 on its 2010 list of the Top 100

"most influential people of the Information Age, Zuckerberg was chosen as number 16 in New

Statesman's annual survey of the world's 50 most influential figures.

Same as Mark Zuckerberg Peter Norton is an American programmer, software publisher

and author. Before discovering microcomputers, he spent a dozen years working on

mainframes and minicomputers for companies including Boeing and Jet Propulsion

Laboratory.He devlopes many soft like Norton AntiVirus, Norton 360, Norton Internet

Security, Norton Personal Firewall, Norton AntiSpam, and Norton Ghost.

Same thing we can find when we see Tim Paterson’s profile .He is also a computer

programmer, known as the original author of MS-DOS, he went to work for Seattle Computer

Products as a designer and engineer. He designed a schematic of Microsoft's Z-80 SoftCard

operating system on an Apple II.

Like Tim Paterson Peter MacDonald is also a software engineer.He is best known as the

creator of Softlanding Linux System (SLS). He graduated from the Computer Science

program of the University of Victoria with a BSc (1989) and MSc (1996, master's thesis:

Decomposing the Linux Kernel into Dynamically Loadable Modules). He also created the

Tcl web browser BrowseX, and the PDQI suite of Tcl utilities.

Not only Bill Gates ,Mark Zuckerberg but also zafor iqbal, Munir Hasan & Mohammad

Solaimun Rasel are also IT specialist.They works in IT fields . Zafar Iqbal is a

Bangladeshi scientist . He earned his BSc in physics from Dhaka University. Then he went to

University of Washington to obtain his PhD. He worked as a post-doctoral researcher at

IT specialist of whole world 25 | P a g e

California Institute of Technology (Caltech) from 1983 to 1988. He joined Bell

Communications Research (Bellcore), a separate corporation from the Bell Labs, which is

now known as Telcordia Technologies, as a Research Scientist.

Munir Hasan is changing the way math is taught and understood by everyone in the country.

He approach to mathematics education in Bangladesh. In 1991, he was invited to join a group

tasked with promoting the math Olympiad in Bangladesh. He became the director of a new

program to implement math Olympiad training; hoping to utilize the program and mandate to

find workable, learner-friendly solutions to improve both the aptitudes and attitudes towards

mathematics in Bangladesh.

Though Wasik Farhan Roopkotha is not an it specialist but if you see his biography see that he can do operating system set up and trouble shooting and he also can programming any software. The baby type words with his tiny fingers on the keyboard. He can type as swift as any highly efficient typist without having to look at the keyboard. Everyday the wonder baby spends more than 12 hours with computer. He has already played more than 500 games and completed many complicated games like Sonic-knuckles(all sonic series), Prince of Persia, Terminator 3. He is a special gift of the Almighty Allah.one day he will be an it specialist in Bangladesh.

Conclusion:

Information technologists not only focus on the technical skills that go into computers, but

they also understand and appreciate the role of information technology in general, and its

impact on society as a whole. Information specialists work in many different library and

information center environments. Whether they work in the corporate world or a special

library they, like other information professionals, are forced to contend with the exponential

growth of technology in the workplace. The world of computers is huge, unwieldy, and

confusing, and can potentially lead those unfamiliar with its complexities astray. It is easy to

get lost and tangled up in it, but the specialists are there to guide us along our way.
