mida arvatakse Eesti IT olukorrast?
... vastuseks minu mõningatele tööalastele küsimustele viidati:
"last, but not least: you are in a privileged situation to be located in one of the most IT advanced country in North Europe, so finding a good IT supporter won't be a problem at all.
I closely follow international IT/telecom marketplace, and I entirely agree with the opinion recently expressed by reputable US business magazine "Forbes":
The Cover/Top Story by Joshua Levine (20 December, 2004):
"Since independence in 1991 little Estonia has used a knack for technology and a ravenous appetite for change to make itself a largely wired e-republic. It proved to be a lucky break for Estonia that the Soviet Union took such pains to dampen any yearnings for freedom in the Baltic States. It meant that Estonian universities were not allowed to offer too many courses in philosophy and the social sciences. Philosophy is a dangerous thing among a patriotic people longing for the brief independence they lost. What did the Soviets want Estonians to study instead? Computer science, cybernetics, artificial intelligence and information technology. Estonians did much of the software programming and development for the Soviet space program, not to mention the KGB. The Soviets placed one of their most important centers of AI research near the capital city of Tallinn. Independence came anyway in 1991, of course, but by squelching any budding Tom Paines the Soviets unwittingly helped foster one of the more remarkable post-Soviet success stories. There are only 1.4 million Estonians in a country a little bigger than Holland. Half of it is covered in forest. But beneath the trees Estonia hums. With virtually no outmoded infrastructure to weigh them down, the resourceful Estonians have constructed a kind of e-republic that has already outpaced many of its new, much richer European neighbors. Internet and mobile phone usage per capita, for instance, is higher in Estonia than it is in France. Over half of all Estonians now pay for their street parking spaces automatically, using their mobile phones. The same system flopped when Estonian Mobile Telephone's technology was marketed in Oslo, which is not exactly backward technologically. And Swedish companies often test ideas first in Estonia, since Estonians are known to have a heartier appetite for change than even the forward-thinking Swedes"
Best regards and have a nice weekend." Nüüd ma saan aru miks nad mu küsimusi ignoreerida püüavad :)
