Monitor prices continue to fall, but their quality does as well. The setup in this article is using 3x 1920x1080 monitors. What happened to all the 1920x1200 displays? Where are our 120Hz refresh rates? Multi-screen gaming is in the same place it was 5-7 years ago. How does this fluff make it to slashdot?
This money get used to push internet censorship bills like COICA and Protect IP through congress, and into Obama's pocket in exchange for appointing their lawyers into powerful government regulatory positions. The RIAA has very little to do with music. It is an evil organization and currently one of the biggest threats freedom and privacy both in the US and around the globe.
6% seems incredibly low considering the number of people in this discipline that managed to get a degree without actually being able to do anything useful or have anything to offer a company.
I would love to see a 20% unemployment rate. Then the qualified employees can actually do what they are hired to do, instead of spending their first 6 months on the job cleaning up the messes that the previous 6 incompetent people mucked up.
Whats the McDonalds equivalent IT job?
This makes me think of the movie "Idiocracy" where they feed Gatorade to their crops because Gatorade "has electrolytes, and thats what plants need". When they were asked what electrolytes were, all they knew was its "what plants need". Everyone who ever knew the "details" of how plants worked was dead, there was no one to explain that plants needed water, because they stopped teaching the "details" to people long ago.
I have to agree that teaching people how to get things done is the best way to introduce the subject, and hopefully it will spark enough interest in some people that they actually care about the details and we all dont starve to death 1000 years in the future.

I invented an anti-laser too. I call it a mirror. And it has 101 other uses!
