3.    Networks: Data communication, computer networks, Internet, Web applications, and Cloud evolution
4.    Computing Systems: hardware and software components
5.    Human computer interaction: Automation: IT in streamlining human-to-machine, human-to-human, and machine-to-machine interaction
6.    Simulation and gaming to understand complex systems
7.    Information Security: privacy and information assurance
8.    IT professional responsibility: Ethics and best principles and practices for conduct in business, IT social and political issues including privacy and digital rights
