The Information Technology industry as a means to an end
LockedI may be new into this TechRepublc thing, even as I am starting out this thread here. I thought I want to put things in perspective regarding the information technology industry.
I have read many a threaded discussion in TechRepublic regarding job dissatisfaction in the IT industry, and where this industry is headed in the years and decades to come.
It has come to my knowledge based on the discussion regarding the information technology sector as a “means to an end” that information technology is not necessarily about that and then some. Inforation technology is all about business and how businesses and organisations use practive tools to keep information safe and to generate money. At least that is how businesses and organisations big and small should have done things at a proactive level to keep information secure!
A recent article from CNET News online describes how businesses do not need IT security professionals to tell them how they should keep information secure. I am here to say that businesses and oganisations will get to the point that they will not have any need for information technology professionals to help them keep information and their profits secure. Since computers–clients and their “servants”– are there to help run businesses and organisations, there should be proactive ways of helping these organisations earn and protect their investments.
If anyone is looking forward to a career that involves computers and information technology or are already involved in a career, I would suggest finding other ways to get creative in helping organisations reach their potiential on a business level or have a change in careers that involved business, since organisations from small to big corporate are looking for individuals who are business savvy in addition to IT or computer technology education.
I would like to share your thoughts, comments and opinions in to this threaded subject. I look forward to your response soon.
Thanks and have a great day. 🙂
