thou shalth quote......

Fridays aren't any fun. Most people are in their colourful best (appearance wise) whcih somewhat brings in some cheer in general in office. But as i watch people making plans for the evening whilst at work and wasting away valuable time I am left in awe. Is this what the Indian IT industry all about. We talk proudly in various forums that India has some of the smartest brains in the world but do we...........

Is this not hero culture - a handful of people leading the way with others blindly following them, writing millions of lines of code a month, with apparently no idea of the actual business value delivered to the client. Is this blind faith or these people around me just like lab mice, in context of the bigger picture. Who knows???

I am left with a smirk on my face. Some quotes resurface from my long list of mails in the outlook mailbox:

"All technology should be assumed guilty until proven innocent"

- David R. Bower
"More and more I come to value charity and love of one's fellow being above everything else.....All our lauded technological progress--our very civilization--is like the axe in the hand of the pathological criminal."
- Albert Einstein
"In science as in love, too much concentration on technique can often lead to impotence."
- P.L. Berger
"The best computer is a man, and it's the only one that can be mass-produced by unskilled labor."
- Wernher Magnus Maximilian von Braun
