MODERATORS
I think this is a European thing. "IT" is a general term for any tech work, whereas in the US that term refers to technician level network infrastructure and sysadmin work.
No, people misuse the term in the US, too.
This is not a "misuse", IT stands for Information Technology and is a broad term for everything. I work in IT security without being helpdesk.
Computer science is a mid term though, it's about more than computers ;)
