Did you know about water

Did you know ...?
 The world has a whole lot of salty water?
The earth is over 70% water, 97% of which is in the world’s
oceans. Of the total water in our oceans, 46% belongs to the Pacific,
23.9% to the Atlantic, 20.3% to the Indian, and 3.7% to the
Arctic.
 And what little is left is the only fresh water we’ve
got?
While 97% of the world’s water is salty and sloshing about in the
oceans, only about 2% is left as fresh and drinkable - and 70%
of that 2% is locked in the icecaps of Antarctica. If this entire ice
sheet were to melt, sea levels would rise by nearly 67 meters (220
feet), the height of a 20-story building.
The water we can drink is found underground, in the form of
groundwater; or is readily accessible in lakes, steams, and rivers.
And we’ve had the same water for ages?
The total amount of water on earth has been constant for the
last two billion years. Every drop you drink has been witness to
history - in fact, you might be drinking or bathing with the same
water that our ancestors used!

Information technology  ( IT ) is the application of  computers  to store, study, retrieve, transmit, and manipulate  data , [1]  or  information , often in the context of a business or other enterprise. [2]  IT is considered a subset of  information and communications technology  (ICT). In 2012, Zuppo proposed an ICT hierarchy where each hierarchy level "contain[s] some degree of commonality in that they are related to technologies that facilitate the transfer of information and various types of electronically mediated communications." [3] The term is commonly used as a  synonym  for computers and computer networks, but it also encompasses other  information  distribution technologies such as television and telephones. Several  industries  are associated with information technology, including  computer hardware ,  software ,  electronics ,  semiconductors ,  internet ,  telecom ...
