IT business will grow with a speed of light by Nina Gotzmannova

Everyone who is using a computer, cell phone or other electronic device with operation software has unwittingly ‘given' work to hundreds of people in IT business. Those entire computer specialists were needed to develop the device, the software inside the device and to bring the body and the inside together to bring it to the market. And the number of people working in the IT business will in the next few years grow with the speed of light. According to a study released on Thursday, the computer technology will cost an unbelievable amount of trillion dollars this year. But the growth of IT business is not something reserved only for United States of other big and rich countries. Study made in 82 countries and regions showed where the future of IT lies. And the place is not United States. Technology and IT companies employ 35.2 million people worldwide. The number will increase up to 25 percent in next four years, mostly in China. There will be also 4.6 million of new jobs in software-related jobs. Is it expected that most of them will be in Brazil, Russia, India or Mexico. Country with the fastest developed software-related jobs is surprisingly Azerbaijan, followed by Russia and Vietnam. Most of the jobs ‘belong' to Microsoft or its partner companies. Exactly 42 % percent of people working in IT business see the Microsoft logo on their paychecks. And some of them are really high. The sum of money that is moving in this industry is really colossal. For example, Singapore, Sweden and Denmark spend on computers and computer related products 2.6 from their GDP.
