BTW try this exercise before calling IT/CS/SE industry anywhere illegitimate. Take 100 random numbers and build a machination to sort it in order. Try different means. Mechanical, pure electrical with no uP. You will see why software engineers and IT business make so much money and why is TCS/Infosys is legitimate. They are legitimiate because any other way of solving problems they solve is exceptionally expensive and cannot scale from 100s to millions of users for that price point.
Thats the real legitimacy of IT/CS/SE industry. We do thing which are simply impossibly costly otherwise.
I am myself in computing and know its importance. What I speak about is the incompetency of Indian computer engineers. OK some of them are quite talented and have potential but they require good designers to utilize their potential.
@jamahir, you are a good and liberal guy at heart, but some of your notions regarding business are grossly misplaced. You are literally propagating the view that if person X cannot get 100/100 marks, he should stop studying. Leave alone the fact that person X may be interested in Geology while you want to evaluate him on Botany.
You keep talking of innovation as if only colonizing Mars amounts to innovation and every other person must drown himself in shame for not being able to do so. I refrain from getting personal, but I have your good interests in my mind, therefore I am advising you that if you approach investors or businesses with the kind of attitude you display here, you will be making this revolutionary OS of yours for another 3 decades. Please widen your horizon, look at the world around you. People working in the IT industry are not evil or stupid. You might find someone to work with. Don't be like that proverbial scientist who never steps out of his lab and believes he alone is capable of saving the world. Because frankly that is the attitude of someone who failed and grudges other people their success. Actual successful people never diss anyone else's progress like the way you do.
Well, though you did not completely see my point of countering the nationalist Indians here and will also say that you were off mark in bringing the example of "education" marks ( I myself am a class 12 dropout ) I see your advise to me but am also surprised about that "failure" remark. Even with my rejection of the Indian "education" system - me burning my 11th class certficate just like Ambedkar burnt the Manusmriti and I would have burnt the 10th class certificate if not it being one of the personal identifications here, I have been a teacher in computing, have co-founded a company with me being the technology design contributor and have done some political dabblings too including almost establishing the first Indian IT / ITES industry workers union in 2014.
Since these are big companies, quite old, has large workforce so they will create new OS or microprocessor?
Do you understand there is something called line of business?
OK then despite their non-intellectuality why the enhanced social status of these companies in India ( "You know my son is a team lead in TCS, he is getting many marriage proposals..." ) ?
