Manufacturing vs IT : Which one is better for the economy/country?

[-=virus=-]

Riding a bike or scooty is easy. It is negotiating through a bad traffic consisting of rash drivers, that is difficult and dangerous.

of course its easy, my 12 year old nephew can ride a scooty (not allowed outside on roads etc of course, but he's learning and is the happiest little boy in the world) .. ghar se park tak le ke jaata hai scooty, his friends are jealous.

@jamahir bhikari bkl scooty tak ni chala sakta !

Manufacturing

So - IT is a good kickstarter to the economy - but with a view to moving into manufacturing longterm.

Yes, indeed. It is the responsibility of the government to ensure that Industrialization remains the priority over other sectors of the economy like IT/Services. Making IT a priority over Industrialization would mean a third world country would never climb the ladder and would remain a sh*thole. The biggest example of that being India.

First you all tell me what is this "IT" and why does Indian code monkey company Infosys need to have 300,000+ workers to do whatever it is doing ?

Does it matter what is is or isn't ?? India is earning over $220billion from it .. that is feeding and growing India's economy.... and at the rate it is going - it alone will overtake the size of Pakistan's economy ....
