I find lots of inspirational ideas in YouTube and its my most preferred social media platform next to steemit. Facebook to me seems a bit congested and Instagram I use to see new pictures and relax. But I have to stress that YouTube is really educational and there are lots of useful videos with valuable content. I guess in future, YouTube will contain much more useful information. Since steemit allows sharing of YouTube videos, the growth of YouTube and steemit will go hand to hand hopefully.
Coming to the point, I saw a documentary in YouTube today. It's about the Information Technology field in India. The title of the video was quite depressing but I started watching the video anyways.
The documentary talks about the dark side of technology field. I have never been part of the IT industry; so I cannot be sure if what's told in the documentary is true or not. It's upto dear viewers to see, analyse and comment about the reality.
The core idea on the documentary is that in IT field, technology changes rapidly. Suppose you are good in C programming language today, tomorrows requirement will be Java. And if you can't learn Java fast enough like the fresher graduate, you are at risk of losing your job. In other fields, like medical care, as you age your experience and expertise increase. You get paid better, your wisdom increases, your knowledge increases. But in IT industry the opposite is true: you become outdated quite fast.
I encourage dear readers to comment about the issue. Is it true that IT jobs have a hidden danger. What do you think?
