IT is Not It
15 March 2007A web translation firm wanted to sell translation service to me, so they sent me a page of my web site ITCareerSuccess.com that was translated to Chinese. However, they translated “IT Career Success” to “Its Career Success”. How ridiculous, IT is not It!
Why is IT not it? Because things are transformed in IT:
In IT, the web is not for spiders, it’s for people.
When you surf, you don’t surf the Ocean, you surf the web.
The net is not for fishing, but for phishing.
You start windows, not open it (not them).
You don’t go to hardware store to get hardware.
In the hardware you have bus, but that’s not the bus to carry you to school or mall.
You tools are not in the toolbox in your garage, or your real toolbox don’t hold the soft tools.
In IT, everyone keeps a lovely pet on desk, the mouse.
IT is not it, because in IT things are virtualized.
In IT, I meet my friends in my space, but that’s not my home or my office, it’s just myspace. When I say we meet, I don’t mean we meet face to face, in fact, we never meet, I mean, see the real each other.
Virtulization is great, you can have almost virtual everything, virtual relationship, virtual love, virtual sex, you name it. What’s virtual anyway? As I understand, Virtual mean true but not true at the same time. even the truth can be virtualized, call virtual reality.
Now you see, IT is not it.
