Comment The best hardware can save HK _IT_ industry?? (Score 1) 172
but would cyberpot be the answer to HK hightech industry?? I don't think so. Not a good analogy...can another country invade US by buying weapons from them???
HK government has the money to build the best hardware/infrastructure in the world. However, they don't know how to make a background for CS/EE/CE grad to develop their skills => no experienced workers => no company want to invest => no experienced workers => no company want to invest....
It is so sad that we have good grad students in HK but no environment for them to develop their skills.
after working a few years in HK _IT_ industry, I was quite disappointed and depressed. It is so hard to find a _real_ development job. Most jobs are just customization on the products built in US or Europe...SAP, Oracle...etc.
Hong Kong businessmen and government don't have the R&D concept. I still remember some government offical said something like "High Tech doesn't necessary mean R&D... we may better fit to buy existing product and improve it, _repackage_ it..." Most Hong Kong public _only_ has the quick money concept, so don't even talk about putting money to do R&D.
I have a lot of friends grad from CS and u guess how many of them are doing development instead of customization/consultant? almost none. Some of them do want to get deeper experience on devlopment project but there is not much opportunites in HK...
