The technology industries — semiconductors, software, hardware, computers and networking — are now part and parcel of our daily lives and have come to define the digital world that we live in. According to market researcher IDC, IT spending reached nearly $1.0 trillion in 2001 and will grow to roughly $1.5 trillion in 2006. Considering that the worldwide IT market was valued at $360 billion in 1993, annual spending in IT rose by an estimated 180% over the next

eight years. The advent of the Internet and the development of the World Wide Web has been the most significant driver of this growth. The Internet has emerged as a major computing and communications platform and continues to dramatically affect the business world and transform the industry.
