Wonder who discovered computer

Context:
Today we got to listen to a guest lecture by a guy from industry. He said he has an aggregate 29 years experience ranging over from dba to data warehousing to SAP.There were like 40 ppl in the class, including 3 indians, me inclusive.

When he first mentioned the word DBA, everything was OK. when he mentioned Data warehousing, some 10 pairs of heads looked at each other, wondering if the other head had ever heard of it. When he mentioned SAP, one guys popped the question, whats that?.. (ohh...BTW, graduates made 25% of class strength)

the three indians: !!!!!!$$$ :):):) [in that order]

i wondered, assuming no fundamental technology breakthrough in next 10 years, what indians would do to US IT labor market.

Quite a standard, the biggest joke initially was, I wanted to work on Microsoft technologies for assignments and projects, while Java on UNIX machines was forced upon me like everyone else, and most of the class wanted to work for MICROSOFT when they graduated.

Comp tech has come to threshold level like Newton law made physics a threshold level until 19th century Einstein made one more break through,
like wise current technology has its threshold unlike you or me should make break through,
so lets start working towards that........
