IT docent matter

I have an assignment which is the below:

»As IT?s power and ubiquity has grown , its strategic importance has diminished.

»When a resource becomes essential to competition but inconsequential to strategy, the risks it creates become more important than the advantages it provides!

Based on ?IT Doesn?t Matter? by Nicholas Carr, your team needs to debate and present a strong argument For OR Against it, in other words, whether you agree or disagree.

The teams that are not presenting will submit 3-4 pages of answers in a word file.

1- Reasons for agreement or disagreement (I’m responsible for doing number #1)

2- How the nature of IT has changed over the years?

3- What are the top 5 trends and how they are shaping the industry?

4-You can use any data or any research to strengthen your case.

My team decided (we agree right now that IT does matter)

I attached the article of Nicholas Carr.

Please the answer of my question is maximum one and half page
