- ianai 9y agoI see IT as one big vacuum. Everything is slowly being taken over by IT. It's hard to imagine anything else having its growth rate (aside from healthcare).
- saimiam 9y agoEnergy, deep sea/space exploration and mining, Social science (once you can study all humanity with utilities like FB, social science can discover things things about us usually hidden because of small sample sizes) Of course, since no sunrise industry can function without technology, technology's growth will either match or exceed the next big thing's growth.
- logfromblammo 9y agoI'd like to know what's so wrong with the words "re-training" or "education" that we have to make up a new word in order to avoid saying them. "Re-skilling" sounds like a bullshit buzzword, and I'm putting it on my bingo card.
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoThe problem isn't actually the words, it's the idea behind them. Nobody wants to have to go be retrained every 5 years, we want stable jobs which build valuable skills. Permanent instability is not a message that sells no matter the words it's wrapped in.
- djohnston 9y agoit sells just fine if it's the only thing for sale
- frgtpsswrdlame 9y agoI don't think that's true.
- Florin_Andrei 9y ago> Nobody wants to have to go be retrained every 5 years Or possibly on an ever-accelerating curve. Something's gotta give at some point. > Permanent instability Welcome to this brave new world.
- louithethrid 9y agoEverything sounds better then shirking responsibilities by the elites.
- thisisit 9y agoI am confused. What are these so-called "digital technologies"?
- manishsharan 9y agoIndian software companies are full of shit. They are intellectually incapable of innovation and they have almost single handedly pissed off the much of western world by offshoring. I call bullshit on the claim that Indian IT industry is downsizing because of automation. What the fuck does that even mean ? Do we now have sentient compilers that figure out what the business needs and auto-magically produces code ? Or could it be the fact that the world has figured out that Cognizant, Infosys , TCS etc, are full of shit and untrustworthy unreliable business partners who have mostly poorly trained engineers ? The chickens have come home to roost ! Deal with it.
- tryitnow 9y agoSo Indian IT companies are training their employees? Ummm, don't see how that's newsworthy - good for them.
