[kictanet] OCHUODHO: It is high time order was brought to the ICT sector

[Mildred Achoch]

"The Merriam Webster Dictionary defines “profession” as “a calling
requiring specialised knowledge and often long and intensive academic
preparation”.Does IT/ICT, therefore, qualify as a “profession” or vocation?
Yes, of course, it does."

Long and intensive academic preparation? In the knowledge economy/digital
age, the length has been drastically reduced.Perhaps there needs to be a
new definition of the term "profession" that takes into consideration
things like e-learning and "YouTube university". ICT underpines every
profession so a doctor can be an IT expert in the medical field. With all
due respect, the ICT sector is still growing and there's going to be a
whole lot of chaos, I mean, innovation, before order is brought.

Regards,

Mildred Achoch.
