With the advent of the Internet, we are witnessing another industrial revolution. Thanks to new technologies (IT), innovation continues to go further and further and creates radical changes in almost all areas of society.
Programming software, computer coding and generally computing and programming are all digital tools that facilitate the development of society.
Where does the term IT come from?
"IT" is the English abbreviation for "Information technology". It translates to "ICT: Information and Communication Technology" in French. This term has had many definitions over the centuries.
At the end of the 20th century, for example, it was used to characterize the rapprochement of the computer programming, audiovisual and telecommunications. It was a real revolution at the time.
Nowadays, the scope of ICT has expanded and now affects health, finance, commerce and robotics, to name a few. New technologies are increasingly expanding their important place in our lives. This transformation of society has even created many professions around computer programming.
What are the ICT jobs?
It is a profession in perpetual evolution and the most dynamic in recent years. There are nearly 35 hires per year in this sector in France, according to BIPE. Schools are also struggling to offer training adapted to demand. Many professionals in this sector continue to train at the pace of innovations. Computer science and programming are also the areas that fluctuate the most.
Developers compete in ingenuity to create their own computer programming.
To date, all the largest digital companies like Google, Microsoft or Apple , have their own computer coding.
Jobs related to computer programming: developers, web designers and technical web project managers are jobs of the future. Overall, ICT jobs require in-depth knowledge of computer coding and each programming software. Regardless of the sector, it is necessary, even vital, for any company to develop a digital hub to increase its performance.
However, contrary to popular belief, these new jobs do not necessarily come with an exorbitant salary. Indeed, according to statistics, a developer in computer programming only earns on average between 2000 and 2700 euros per month.
What jobs around computer programming will appear in 2030?
Experts are unanimous, 65% of children currently in primary school will later practice a job that does not yet exist in our time. Thus, it is estimated that 85% of the jobs of 2030 do not yet exist. Because of robotization, computers and programming and constant innovations, 2 billion jobs are also at risk of disappearing in 2030.
This is the consequence of a profound societal change that accelerated 10 years ago. Remember that in the early 2000s, no one saw themselves doing a job related to computer coding or programming software.
Today, some schools do not hesitate to teach the basics of computer programming to children in primary school, because there is no doubt that in 10 years, new technologies will have an even more central place.
However, in our time, computer programming is now a valued skill on the job market and competition is tough. The developer profession has become considerably more democratic in just a few years. All professionals in the sector are now turning to cloud computing that is, computer storage systems. This innovation will conquer all companies, because it allows a vast field of data to be stored securely, accessible anywhere and at any time.
