What is the difference between computer science and information technology?

Computer Science involves learning about programming which includes learning the basics of programming, algorithms, data structures, and complexity theory. There is a stream known as computer engineering that deals with the 'low level' and involves the internal circuitry, electronics, and power of a computer. The level above computer engineering is wide, as it deals with both the low level of computer engineering and the high-level programming which integrates chips and circuitry. This is what is known as computer Science. At the highest level is information technology, which focuses on the impact of applications and how to integrate these solutions into the industry. Information Technology deals with the management of computers rather than computation. IT is a combination of programming, hardware administration, software administration, networking, and network security. Computer Science is a wide field and includes algorithms, complexity theory, automata theory, distributed computation, parallel computation architecture, machine learning, cryptography, compiler construction, microprocessors, embedded systems, computer architecture and organisation, computer graphics, database management systems, digital signal processing, operating systems and control systems engineering.
