My opinion on what IT is the most important in BA

My personal opinion about the use of Information Technology in Business Administration is that when you use IT, you have to use both software and hardware.

Probably the most important software (for me) is: Word, Excel, Win Zip, e-mail, and the internet

The most important hardware would be: a PC, a flash drive, and hard drive.

Right now with my business, this is what I use the most and that is why I think they are the most important. Obviously there's more and better ones, but this is my personal opinion. =)
