Geek or Unique?

Good afternoon computer users,

With Gitex, the biggest ICT event in the exhibition calendar taking place this week in Dubai, the whole city is gone IT mad!

More and more it is becoming socially acceptable to be an IT "geek". In fact 2008 could be Their year! Suddenly if you are not part on an online social network, or if you don't have the latest iPod or mobile or GPS in your car, you are not cool! Or am I totally off the mark here?? Everyday I see kids running around with mobile phones short of including the kitchen sink! Call me old fashioned, but in my day you just needed a pair of Levi’s to be cool. And, to make it even easier the older they were the better, so hand-me-downs were great! Lots of rips and wear and tear and you were hip to the hop! Good to go. These days you've got to have all the gadgets and gismos hanging out of you.

Really though, I think it is great that young people are so computer savvy. The old stereotype of a computer geek is long gone. In fact, many of the participants in Gitex are really enthusiastic about the region here and the ICT prospects that lie ahead. With so many young eager and bright people now relocating to Dubai, the plan is to create a reputation for Dubai as a Global Technology Hub!

With so many IT jobs on our site and IT clients, it is easy to see how this can very soon become a reality. For a listing of all the IT jobs on www.recruitgulf.com, be sure to log on and apply.
