Yesterday in Commerce we had a special guest speaker, Andrew Burton-Jones. He told our class about the IT field in business and how being efficient with technology in your business can boost it to the sky.

It’s only a matter of time before all businesses becomes infused with technology which poses the question, when will the computer-geeks take over the business men/women of the world?

With technology advancing, business people will adapt. More and more business students are taking IT courses. Students are utilizing a new program starting at UBC called BUCS. BUCS gives students an opportunity to major in both Business and Computer Science. I feel this is one of the most valuable programs available at UBC. With the knowledge of business and the ability to combine computer science, future entrepreneurs will have endless possibilities.

So to answer the question, businessmen and businesswomen will never be replaced by computer-geeks but infact will become one themselves. In order to survive in business one must have the ability to use all resources present, including knowledge of other fields.
