Katradhu Tamil and the IT industry

Today, I saw a (Tamil) movie named 'Katradhu Tamil'. A well-scripted story and a decent screenplay made it a watchable film. It portrays the low options of employability for people who specialize in non-IT courses since the opportunities in those fields are meager in world's market. The film also explains the beautiful love between this poor guy and his lady love. The guy gets frustrated at the treatment that he receives after people come to know that he is Tamil teacher and at the same time he melts whenever he thinks or meets or hears of his girl.

The concept that the director has thought of presenting before the audience is 'In the current market, its hard for those who do not know computers, to lead a healthy life. But he didn't clearly suggest a way or method to eradicate such a situation. So is this just venting out the anger, jealousy and frustration that the common man has on the software professionals ? I am not saying this since I am in the same field. I just couldn't find a solution in his question. The hero commits murders after murders due to the frustration and anger he has on the society. These murders are also not reasonable. Finally the hero and the heroine, when they have no other go, commit suicide.

Coming to the point that the director says, we cant completely omit that what he says is wrong. There is some truth is his case. IT industry has increased the compensation of the normal human being and in turn has resulted in the hike of restaurant and hotel rates, land rates, vehicles, rents for houses and hostels, etc. This has really caused a concern for the average human being. And its not healthy too. As somebody said, the money that a software professional earns doesnt go to his pocket actually. It goes to the pockets of Mobile manufacturers, land brokers, building constructors, hotel owners, etc. This is definitely not a healthy sign.

The most recent disturbance that the IT industry has caused is the substantial increase in the road traffic. Two years ago, Chennai didnt see these many cars as that can be seen today. You apply a simple car loan and get yourself a car which you may or may not know to drive. This is much evident from the fact that car manufacturers have started releasing cars with more and more cheaper rates.

Is the boom in IT a boon or bane ? Many of us have numerous reasons to justify that it is definitely a boon but when you take in consideration the lower class or the below-poverty line people, you dont have much arguments to justify the case.
