Computer Science vs. Information Technology

Being a computer science student, these days, I am emphasizing my lecture about the major distinction between computer science and information.  As  I belonged to core computer science stream, I keep on concentrating on its fundamental differences.

Fundamentally, computer science is totally concerned with mathematics and theorems and its core research. Its contribution  helps information technology to nurture. Firstly computer scientist derive the concept theoretically and then its implementation is done on another level. These theorems are derived by those person who have strong in mathematics, probability and other stuffs required. The example of computer scientist are Alan Turing, Flody, Hoffman, etc.

But, in contrary, information technology is concerned with application of those concepts into practical fields. After the derivation of concepts by computer science, these things gets implemented into information technology level. The example of information technology are software engineer, programmer, etc.

Thus, computer science  and IT can not be used interchangeably, though today people use these term as synonymous. We have to differentiate those terms.
