I agree that you can't solve every problem and often if you do go down that path you end up resolving issues multiple times because they don't give deep thought to any changes you are making, they just go along because they...

@Sunita I think this is why we have the HR manager during the interview process. They are more capable in understanding people better.

"Start Early" is a good initiative. IT firms can hire fresh IT graduates as Interns and see how they perform in their role. If it is satisfactory they can always absorb them as permanent employees.

It's almost as though The Past is fighting back, as the horse has to rescue the then-modern truck. Imagine how monumental a task it must have been to lay down those wires. And, I don't think the audio amplifier had been...

In the old days, if your battery ran out on your "dumb watch," you could either 1) pay $10-20 for a new watch battery, or 2) just get a new watch. Maybe I'm a bit of a Luddite, but it's hard for me to imagine anyone...

@SunitaT0: Yes they can be and they will be used. You cannot expect a technology to be all used for clean purposes. That is why laws need to be strict and every drone has to be accounted for. I don't know how they intend...
