ICT Oh ICT Part 1

Been wondering,whats the best career in the third planet?Looked upstairs,to the Marketing and Corporate Affairs lot.It looks like they have a good time,always on tour,they call it...I cant remember the marketing jargon for that,always on facebook,they call it networking,always on phone,they call it research and development.All seems well there,till they dont meet their targets,and the threats start come in those who hired them fire them.Not good.
I then turn my eyes to the Accountants and Auditors.Elegant ladies and Intelligent men they look like their careers are on the Cape Canaveral launch pad.I envied them,till I saw the time they left the office,till one of them had an inbalanced balance sheet then the books had to be reconciled with a portion of his salary.Again,not good.
I looked at the supply dept,dealing with tenders.With such a job in such a country, who needs a salary.The tendering companies know how to play ball.They get their share,they give others their share and the Supply chain continues.I envied them,till I remembered what happens to those who take shortcuts in life,the road becomes longer,not shorter.Still not good.
I now had to resort to the one department where everyone looks up to when in problems.The one department which determines the workflow.It determines whether the finance department will pay bills,whether Sales and Marketing will advertise, whether Legal will record their cases, HR will recruit and (pun intended), whether Supply chain will get their share, because simply it facilitates communication.It is IT.As long as human beings live in a colony, they'l need to transfer information,and ICT will facilitate the transfer.
As long as we are on this earth:seed time and harvest,computers and networks will never pass away.
Do you agree?
