When the term IT is used, it is a known fact all over the world that this keeps growing. However there is a very interesting fact that can be noted. When it first stormed into the market, its growth was very nominal. It took several years to get developed to a certain stage. During the 80s and the early 90s, we saw the development of computers to an extent.
Software too was changing, but it had slow growth. This was because people were not sure if they would cater to the needs of the common man. It looked more like a very expensive deal, which only the rich could afford. This was the actual fact in the beginning. However things took a turn by the end of the 90s. There seemed to be a sudden explosion in this field.
Suddenly everyone was moving to America to explore greener pastures. People from all over the world were recruited, as there was a never ending need to match the demands. By the beginning of the new millennium, there was no stopping the information technology field. There was constant change in all aspects. The growth and evolution was phenomenal.
Hardware and software kept growing at lightning speed. Before you even enjoyed using a good laptop, there would be an upgraded version in the market. Software too is being upgraded, and this is because of the growth in all the industries. A lot of competition among computer companies is also a reason for this growth. There has been a lot of competition and to better each other, new creations are being let out into the market as often as they can.
The growth has also helped a great many people with jobs, but of course consumers have reason to complain. They need to keep buying new hardware or software, as both have to be compatible for use. The IT industry has also grown to be more sophisticated in terms of presentation and content too. This growth has helped many countries, because the companies are outsourcing a great deal.
Because of the outsourcing, companies save money, and are able to get more manpower. This will mean hiring a lot of good talent. And thus good talent put together will produce a great deal of better outputs. The growth is so phenomenal that the world has grown smaller. And right now, this very second, someone is creating something new as well.
