Times have changed

After a year since Lehman Brothers went down, and the whole economy collapsed.... Now reviewing my last posts... I have changed my mind.
Well, in reality I don't know very sure where my career will actually take me. It's clear to me that important IT opportunities are going to lie in the gap caused by the lack of IT regulation. Regulators and attorneys will have to turn to study IT law, but does it really exist? If so, is it commonly known to the public?
In any case, great thoughts or maybe not so good, since I don't think I have the right skills to be an "IT attorney".
We will see where I end up... I am confident that my future's uncertain for now, and probably, hopefully, forever as well.

IT AND FINANCE

Possibly the other day I changed my life in a very meaningful way, by rethinking what I wanted to lean towards in my future professional career.

Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (Nokia Tube)

I WANT TO ANNOUNCE THE NEW IT REVOLUTION AS REGARDS CELLPHONE/SMART PHONE DEVICES. IT'S NOT THE iPHONE AS EVERYONE WAS EXPECTING, IT'S EVEN BETTER ---> Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.
A much better device than the "untouchable"phone of Apple!!

And what is more important (since I come from Spain) is that Nokia chose Spain to be the first European country to get the device.
After my little Marketing speech, I will leave my readers to judge for themselves. I think my preferences are quite clear, when talking about smart phones.

AS A FINAL REMARK: "It's a fact that Nokia has much more experience than Apple."

LAST QUIZ -INTRO TO IT CLASS

Personally, I ran out of time trying to finish this quiz. I think that many other classmates felt the same way, and as the teacher said :"this one was tough". So, I should not feel as bad, since I know that I knew the content of the quiz. That's what is all about in this life: knowing and learning...

Given the already publicly recognized American recession, here's an article that may ease our feelings in general as IT students, or IT professionals of the future.

Information Technology definition

Since IT continuously shapes his definition, this document will try to also reflect that accordingly.

For this reason, the document will be updated more than one time.

And I will appreciate if you could contribute with your comments for a better definition.
