We are suffering from myopia as most of us sitting in India 'believe' and 'advocate' that technology is a far better tool than 'simple lateral thinking'. Eg. A restaurant in Mumbai serves more than 20 tables (ie approx. 100 people at a time), with just 4 people to serve, with utmost efficiency, without a single case of wrong billing and miscalculation. And they are IT independent! +nav “The tragedy is compounded by an indifference to data mining storage and availability.

According to psychologists, a person can be either 'Thinking' when he uses data and logic in thought process, or 'Feeling' when he uses feelings for the same. Both type of people would be there in any population and they would be suited for different type of careers. The problem is that students, especially in India, choose careers based on 'scope' rather than their own personality and likes and dislikes. Thats why the batch of your commerce students were having problems. Our preferance for the basis of forming opinions is wired in our personality.
