Chubby_ravi, Debabrata Nag and
Manan Shamihoke clear this GD.
*********************
www.UrPercentile.com: THE TOPIC OF DISCUSSION IS " IT BUGS "
Amit Kumar: IT Bugs -
- To me this topic is more about the nuisances we encounter in our
daily lives.
- 'IT' bugs to be disturbed persistently by unsolicited calls from
call centers
- 'IT' bugs to face daily so much pollution which affects your life
quantitatively and qualitatively
-'IT' can be Information Technology system which has escaped the
rigorous testing
Debabrata Nag: Bugs in Information Technology industry can be
referred to any kind of errors, failure in a software program that
might cause unexpected problems which sometimes may be very serious
Sumeet Gupta: hi friends .. IT Bugs ... I think it really does ...
look all around u .. all of us are surrounded by IT miracles. But i
feel IT has done its own share of harm as well apart from the
goodies it brought
Manan Shamihoke: There's a common saying in the software industry
that "The more bugs you solve, the more your produce"... This is
analogous to the sins in the society. A completely ideal system is
not possible to achieve. Humans are always prone to errors. The
better and soon we understand this term, the better for us. We shall
rather have an attitude of problem solving and we shall not feel
agitated or feel bogged down by these problems which are ubiquitious
Gunjan Rawat: It bugs....IT bugs? no way its our present and
future .....its the basic necessity in our life
Debabrata Nag: Bugs may cause a system to crash or unexpected
freezing of system that might result in loss of valuable information
Sumeet Gupta: i do feel if not checked properly at any stage they
can cause a total crash of the system. Soon u can see machines
driving humans nuts
Sumeet Gupta: At this juncture i feel before going deep into the
pros and cons brought to us by IT we need to look at the way it has
changed us
sandeep bansal: bugs is a term that is most commonly used with
software . Rather than just looking at bugs we shud look at what
impact IT has made on society.
Debabrata Nag: In every program initially bugs are always present
and they can only be removed by proper future updates from the
manufacturer, after a series of tests performed by them.
Amit Kumar: : Not only IT, bugs are perennial. They are nuisances.
What there is good thing about bugs too. They keep us going to
develop more error free systems, machines.
I disagree as we should not restrict our viewpoint to Information
Technology only.
Manan Shamihoke: Another interpretation could be real BUGS of IT
like these viruses, trojans, worms etc. They are developed to BUG
other systems. To get into other systems and destroy them just like
many people trying to destroy other people.
Ashish Jain: in the super modern age that we reached today is all
coz of IT . Yes it really bugs and it needs to bug..but to some
limit..like the latest technology has changed the whole scenario. in
every field of medical, agriculture, engineering ,computers,,
consumer services, industries and all...it has really infected us a
bug ..
Amit Kumar: What about the daily jams in cities. Won't they bug you?
Chubby_ravi: Hey guys, lets do a simple thinking before we go
further, if it weren't for IT the world wouldn't have been small as
it is today (connectivity). Check out everything, Railways where we
avoided long queues when Reservation was made online, tickets and
bills were easy in paying. Everything has become at the cost of a
click
Gunjan Rawat: another thing IT bugs ...yes there are many viruses
and trojans present now ruining our important works but more
importantly we must not neglect those people in our discussion who
are creating those bugs, they are no less then bugs for IT
Sumeet Gupta: exactly ravi .. it has given us a hue advantage in
that sense but look at loss of privacy .. its burden one has to
carry all the time .. thanx to IT
Ashish Jain: ya ravi "the whole world is a village today" due to
communication, and thanks to it
Manan Shamihoke: I agree with you ashu... and one common example of
an IT BUG is VOYEURSIM... this means to get into the life of a
particular person and keep a check on his private life. This is only
possible because of very advance techniques in IT
Debabrata Nag: Always it is not that a software has a similar bug
for all systems. It also varies from system to system. Thus removal
of bugs is also system dependent . Thus updates are made based on
different systems which is rigorous and time consuming process
Sumeet Gupta: true but dont u think due to this click culture we are
fast moving frm human race to a machine one ?
Amit Kumar: Or,shall we say 'IT' does not bug?
Sumeet Gupta: we try to avoid working for anything. All we want to
do is click and its done kind of situation right from cooking food
to rocket science . We talk to a friend sitting miles away on
chats .. but have lost the contact with the person next door.
Manan Shamihoke: Just today...we got a news that a government office
is being BUGGED by a trojan... just imagine if some of secrets are
leaked? It is a threat to nation's security and can produce
disastorous results. This is possible only because of advancement...
Debabrata Nag: Hackers, pirates can also be considered as IT bugs as
they fail all the efforts of the hardworking engineers striving for
quality and being able to get what they desrve only due to the
illegal occupation
Chubby_ravi: Before we take a side lets do a small walkthrough, take
the telephone and the computer. In 1992 when the desktops arrived
it was a 486 processor and did nothing, while today its a Core duo
processor which can just do amazing things. Its all IT that has
driven this dramatic change. The telephone which didnt get IT field
for long has remained the same. So lets check the fact of what
would anyone want to change, the desktop or the antique telephone
which had just a dial pad
Gunjan Rawat: IT does not bug it is a tool for a better and easier
today ....it is making us live a better life and .most importantly
making world a smaller place
Debabrata Nag: Thus to get rid of hacker bugs the government is
taking some vital steps...but still there are territories that have
not still made piracy, hacking illegal
Chubby_ravi: Bugs are always there in our ecosystem, its not how
many of them are there, its how severe and how intense is its
aftermath
Sumeet Gupta: so we feel that IT is essential for adding comfort to
life ... it has done amazing things to progress at a fast pace. ...
fair enough but the flip side of it cant be ignored either
Manan Shamihoke: so IT in itself has given us many important
things... it has made our life easy, it has helped us in staying
connected... but sometimes... when used in illicit ways... it has
entered in our life though we didn't want that... hat is how it has
bugged our life
Manan Shamihoke: It is bugging us because it has made us dependent
on itself...
Debabrata Nag: IT being a 24*7 industry-----thus we can also
consider bandhs, unions as IT bugs, what do you say ??
Manan Shamihoke: I meant IT is bugging us...
Amit Kumar: I don't feel IT bugs, as it is up to us to decide the
kind of penetration required
Manan Shamihoke: today we cant imagine our life without a mobile
phone. Can we?
Sumeet Gupta: we are slowly becoming fully dependent on it. If thr
is no power for few hrs we all go crazy. Feel like handicapped.
Don't you feel its some sign of slavery to IT ?
www.UrPercentile.com: THANKS , SUGGEST EVERYONE TO GIVE ONE
CONCULDING STATEMENT ON THE TOPIC
Chubby_ravi: Manan is correct in making his statement because the
aftermath of IT has been a disaster in terms of mind usage in the
preview of a consumer. Today no one remembers a phone number
because they have a mobile which can keep all the numbers
Ashish Jain: BUt BUGS are in nature insects only..it harms a
lot ...wt man had before 10 yrs ..that quality n quantity of life is
not maintained today ..if IT will keep on bugging then we will b
the only sufferers ..it needs to stop somewhere
Gunjan Rawat: talking that IT has bugged our life is not true it
depends on an individual to what extent he must use IT in his life
www.UrPercentile.com: THANKS , SUGGEST EVERYONE TO GIVE ONE
CONCULDING STATEMENT ON THE TOPIC
Manan Shamihoke: It has entered our minds, our life, our soul to
such an extent that living without these technological advancements
cant even be dreamt of this is the IT has bugged us this is the way
IT has bugged us
Amit Kumar: There are always two facets. Information technology has
numerous advantanges but effort is on to escape from being bugged
Debabrata Nag: We can conclude that IT is today's most requirement
and bugs in the industry is totally not desirable and the industry
making good progress to tackle it
Manan Shamihoke: To conclude, I would say that IT has made our life
simple, easy to use... but it also has made mankind dependent on
itself. It has entered our life through one way or other, in a legal
or illegal manner and not too much advancement in this field is
really BUGGING us
Sumeet Gupta: well going by the comments that were passed in the GD
it can be concluded that IT has helped us in making our life easier
as well as a nuisance so one has to keep in mind both side of the
coin before arriving at any conclusion
Chubby_ravi: When ford came out with the first car, people were
scared of its crash and wanted to be on their horses but if it
werent for the step that the mankind has taken nobody would have
seen cars today (which are the fastest mode of transport), similarly
is IT, there would be bugs, but then we need to remember its just
the beginning.
Ashish Jain: most of the nuisances caused today are not bcoz of IT
but because of its implementation .. man needs to know how to
implement it
Gunjan Rawat: concluding , we can say that...yes there are IT Bugs
(viruses),,....and there are bugs who create IT bugs .....IT has and
will always be an important and requisite part of our life ...so
don't say that IT bugs because that talk .....it bugs!
Manan Shamihoke: To conclude, I would say that IT has made our life
simple, easy to use... but it also has made mankind dependent on
itself. It has entered our life through one way or other, in a legal
or illegal manner and now too much advancement in this field is
really BUGGING us
Ashish Jain: but to stop this bugging we need to have a MEDICINE or
anti - virus program that is awareness. then only v can stop it
Chubby_ravi: IT has a long way to go and in the process it would
definitely become clean like the CARs of today which are 99.99% of
the times reliable (atleast my car is)
Comments by UrPercentile Members:
Hari : Hi, I was looking at the discussion of this topic and thought that it could also be interpreted in a different way. IT bugs could also mean the way it bugs people from other industries in terms of rising Real Estate prices, rising prices of commodities etc because of IT folks ready to pay exhorbitant prices which are higher than the actual price because it hardly matters to them coz of those fat paychecks...IT bugs other people to see builders quote exhorbitant rates and autowallas quoting higher rates in cities where the IT revolution is on a high.
