"IT happened"

Earlier I would have stared at this statement,& wondered what is IT here. But now I know this capitalized IT refers to our very own Information Technology world & am I happy to be a part of IT ??!
Sometimes the answer is "YES" and sometimes the answer is "NO".

But hey I am not here to state the disadvantage and advantage of this IT. This post targets people who think that all people working in IT are selfish & mean minded and they sit on top of the loads of money they earn.Majority of the people who think like that, first of all do not know the difference between a call center employee and a Software professional.(No offense meant for call center employees)

I just saw a serial aired in the local channel with the title
as "Software" but the whole story was running around a callcenter. See I told you right??

Real estate prices have been increased because of IT boom.
ok ! So why are you targeting the people??Go and fight with the government that welcomes the MNCs to make stringent rules.
IT guys get to have both Saturday & Sunday off. That is true, but do you know we have to adjust to the client timings and attend calls (You do not know what is attending a call , forget it ) at 7:00 AM & 11:00 PM even if its on the same day.
I could go on & on & counter attack all the accusations.But I'm stopping here to convey a very important point.

"Hi Team,
I was confident that we would step up to the occasion and help out people with a need. You have pleasantly surprised us by seriously taking this up and closing out within 2 hours of opening the window."

This is a mail from my company's Center head. He is not talking about any movie tickets for Sivaji or Harry Porter. This is in response to the following ,

People rushed to help the children & elders of an orphanage & I do feel proud to be one among them.

So all those people who hate IT & target the
people working there, its high time that you jump from our well.

I have seen this attitude among a lot of ppl...see wht happened to NRN, it was as if ppl(& politicians) were waiting for a chance to bounce on him! May be some ppl feel left out...there is this "rich grow richer" funda!
Werent all these bound to happen after the 1991 Economic reforms? Well...to quote Tony Blair "Success will go to those companies and countries which are swift to adapt, slow to complain, open and willing to change. The task of modern governments is to ensure that our countries can rise to this challenge."

He he... Considering that i am from the development field - perhaps the other end of the spectrum - i appreciate you guys effort. At the end of the day, i try to remember it is people at both ends of the spectrum and in between too...

@Bungi
That is true..some people are just bit vulnerable..

Talk of the BOOM in Indian economy and let's see if the opposition still stands strong. IT has indeed been a boost for any developing nation, yes, for the urban class. Rich getting richer like one of the comments said. We can't help it. People should walk out of limited circles and make themselves part of this revolution. Of course, we go thru' all the "Ahh-why-this-job" feeling (I go thru it most of the time:)..) Hate it or love it, there's no point denying that IT is hottest job in the world !
