Information Technology is modern life’s mantra. IT, as it is abbreviated, is all pervading. When you program your microwave you use IT. A call on the cell phone? IT again. That music on your iPod is IT. There is no escape from IT. Even endangered eagles winging their lonely way are monitored remotely by IT. Did you know that you can swallow a capsule, which will illuminate, take movies of your alimentary canal and send it out to a monitor for doctors to analyze? IT again, no less.

What guides you car to destination? Fruits of IT. What gives advanced notice of impending tornadoes? What brings you news of damage to life and property for ignoring early warnings? That is right: the ubiquitous IT. It is becoming like Orwell’s Big Brother. IT muscles its way in one way or another. Is this good? Time (with IT’s help) alone can Tell.
