Confliction! Does IT lead the world well enough?
Does IT lead the world well? It changes fast and makes convenience in our life. There're bunch of tools, applications, libraries and does it really make the world better? Let's take two perspectives on the issue.
Perspective #1. IT affects significantly good.
It decreases the cost of both time and money. You can find the map without visiting the site. You can buy some books in Amazon.com instead of going to the bookstore. What if we lose the technology? I think it's miserable. One of the most useful tools is the search engine like Google. It creates the power of the nation and destructs ignorance.
Phone evolves dramatically with internet. You can do lots of things with your phone. Social web community does good with mass intelligence. Web 2.0 publishes invaluable information. Is there any other way to do this better?
Perspective #2. IT destructs the balance.
I understand how IT makes the world better. But it goes too fast to lead the other factors. First, it reduces jobs. You may know the reason. The world population decreases smoothly but IT grows so fast. IT offers the way to do a task with less people and it breaks the balance between the supply and the demand for jobs. Second, it invalidates new technology in a short time because the newer one is coming up soon. It is an enormous loss in the industry.
The faster IT grows, the more inclined the scale is. Approving agile web technology is dangerous and makes the world an emergency room. Then I ask, will it do good? I hope no would be your answer though I'm interested in it.
