Is it it,or not, that is the question...
I'm not trying get copy Shakespeare, yet the question is inevitable - Is it IT or not?
I'm not sure if these are traits that you pick up at the world of IT or is the general characteristics who have managed to work for what would qualify as a fairly short, yet seemingly long period of time. Some of these are related to IT though....
The one major skill you have acquired is operating on a computer with almost minimal use of the mouse. Your favorite keys are Ctrl, C, X, V, Alt, Tab in that order. The first instinct on having to key in something is to explore whether the info to be keyed already exists some place as if it were waiting karmic-ally to be Ctrl C'd and V'd....
The way of life can be stated as follows - All the "challenges" faced can and should be "resolved" without any "issues" or "escalations".
You have more than one time zone that you operate on. Though you live and operate to Indian timings, you feel like you would be better of being up all night even in the other time zone. Sunrise is something of the past.
Your fingers seem brittle from all the typing. Writing with a pen seems like a session of torture, almost a futile effort. When you look at your handwriting, you feel its is so illegible that you could pass for a doctor. The next step would be to find some random names of medicines and find a chemist who can decode your script. I can see the effect of IT, I talk of reading illegible handwriting as decoding of a script.
The phrase "No issues" has become a way of showing acceptance of a thought or an idea. I noticed this when a friend of mine told he had "no issues" in meeting up at a certain location. I wonder if I instinctively react the same way.
Social Networking. The New world order. You have to be a member on one or more of these sites such as orkut, facebook, twitter, tagged and the list seems so endless that i find it futile putting in more. Now, you might ask as to how this qualify for the effect of IT. There is almost a sure shot to find out if the person is in IT or not. Have a look at the sections known as "About me" or "Testimonials". If you find something like what's shown below in italics, you've hit IT on bullseye.
Note how the testimonial has even an error handling section. Anyone who's done some coding would know what I'm referring to. Note the declaration of variables, optimum number of comments etc (God, its killing me!). You even find the bit of "code" indented. I doubt if the people would have given this much care to detail in their actual piece of code.
All this leads me to only one thing.
