Information Highway And IT Certification
The future of IT is bright as predicted by analysts and trendsetters of
information technology. Many in their forecasts over exaggerate the effects.
Some do it to promote certain trends, products and services, some to prove the
industry leadership.
This is not another crystal ball gaze but a simple extension of empirical
observations of our own (still less connected) environment into the future,
assuming that the present
milieu
surrounding IT continues. Good chances are that upward trend will not only
continue but improve; in quality, quantity and area coverage. However, this
article is not from the point of developers but views here are from the users.
Perceptions are already changing noticeably.
Most of the local analysts such as, trend watchers and users whom I talked to,
expressed hope for positive changes which IT is poised to bring about. Though,
one would certainly like to see more, but considering the development in IT
which has resulted in access of computers. Similarly, some of the software
houses are doing contractual work for western developers in their individual
capacity for example, online businesses, cross political and corporate
boundaries in seconds, forming new alliances that were unknown to traditional
structures and channels.
Akin to this, computers and the Internet are penetrating in households more and
more. Rich and poor have nearly equal access to cyberspace almost anywhere and
anytime. It is in this situation that those who have employed IT in corporate
sector say that business practices as well as consumers’ behaviour have already
changed optimistically. Businesses have gone increasingly international in
scope. Markets have expanded and monopolies are changing into oligopolies if
(yet) not in pure competition. Any one who can bring a first class product and
harness technology successfully is bound to prosper in world market.
"World in which we do business today differs profoundly from that of ten years
ago, and this difference is mainly because of development in IT. Why else sky
suits made in Karachi and sport goods made in Sambaryal (near Sialkot) which are
seen prominently in international championships," says an International
Marketing expert of Punjab University, Professor Malik Ehsan. Sure we are not
making most of existing IT infrastructure. "What I can say with certainty about
the future is this: number of business concerns, large and small, are poised in
making optimum use of IT and benefit. The realization is already upon us that IT
(coupled with standard business practices) is the only way ahead".

Call centre based resource centre’s consultant Um-e-Farwa
thinks, "IT is not just a set of programs, instruments or utilities processing
information. It is a mixture of all these essentials to meet and to achieve
business goals and should be able to meet the needs of any business outfit. It
is the output from all the applications and experience to produce something
useful; a product, a process, a system, a methodology. It is a result that
matter ultimately because that is what businesses want. Every futuristic concern
now believes that employment of IT results in better efficiency, lower cost,
more production flexibility, and product quality and consistency. IT
expenditure, observed the drop off early in this decade world wide, has been on
the rise in Pakistan. Hopefully, more business adopting call centres and
deploying other IT solutions in future are to develop. "The power of computers
is increasing by every other day. They are getting affordable to have, simpler
to learn and massively customisable for different set of wants, making them
vital part of all contemporary life activities. It is now imaginable to consider
an era where hotel, airline, rail and other reservations, stock exchange trade,
banking, shopping, payroll accounting and many other functions, all become
computerised. "It is no prophecy because these systems are already successfully
working in the west. What I see is the local users developing trust in gizmos
and networks to transfer information as well as money economically and
speedily," e-mailed Mike sam, a graduate from reputed local IT institute now
studying on scholarship in America he got is MCSE Exams Training from
www.testkingworld.com.
IT is not autonomous. It is part of social and cultural phenomena. "Information
found online in its various forms, "voice conversations, still images, motion
pictures, multimedia presentations and online, including those not yet
conceived", is bringing about social changes; some are already visible. Users
are demanding quality information that they can turn into common knowledge and
apply to real life problems on ground. A sociologist Dr Muhammad Anwar predicts,
"What we find on the internet is to become part of wisdom ultimately. Or it will
be rejected right away."
Past events and the measure taken are suggesting safer surfing in future. Users
have been complaining of information deficiency syndrome (and information
overload), spam, security concerns, identity theft, cyber crimes, copyright
violations, and unsavory material that mar the internet experience. Only spasm
has coasted millions to businesses besides irritating individual users by
filling in their inboxes with mails sometime carrying viruses such as: Trojan
horses, ads for herbal medicines or links to explicit imagery. But a lot is
being done to clean the cyberspace and make it more live able. A hardcore techie
Zahid Shahzad says, "In future, commute on the Information Highway will be much
safer. Ethics will get better. On the downside, I see paid contents on the
Internet increasing. More information will go behind subscriptions and or
security firewalls." This is the future, and it is heavily IT dependent. IT
plays central role in business world and in the lives of individual users, what
ever they happen to be doing in life or career. Academicians, media and IT
professionals themselves are best placed than any other category, to span the
gaps between real world and IT and the gap between IT and perceptions. New
generation will be more digital than the present one.
