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...
