IT - Making the World a Better Place

Ray Kurzweil, author, inventor, scientist, entrepreneur and "futurist" wrote a compelling article in last weekend's Washington Post entitled "Making the World A Billion Times Better". In it, you will find the core message of his book "The Singularity is Near", and even more reason to be in the field of information technology. Why? Because, as Mr.Kurzweil explains, almost every advancement in technology (medicine, manufacturing, transportation, engineering, etc.) is a direct result of advancements in information technology, and that advancements in IT, by nature, have been, and will continue to grow at an exponential rate.

Think of the implications...

Think of what it really means to be in IT...

Philadelphia IT Industry to Lead PA's Economic Revival

In today's Philadelphia Inquirer (Mon. Apr. 14, 2008), there is an article entitled "Pa. economic revival lies in its metro assets" that should give some comfort to those folks living in the Philadelphia region, and working in the business of Information Technology. As a result of recent presidential campaign rhetoric, a renewed intense dialogue has bubbled to the surface that seeks to clarify and understand how people in PA feel about job loss, economic malaise and perceived government neglect. Fortunately, new research from Brookings suggests that strength in our local IT industry is expected to help lead the way forward in spite of the difficult times so many people in our region are experiencing.
