[Yr7-10it] ICT Careers - the current state of play

[Adrian Janson]

'IT Crowd!!' - that’s what I meant.... oopps... Very funny, but not quite
the portrayal of the 'ICT Professional' that we want students to look up to!

Cheers,
Adrian

Nor presumably the 'IT Crowd' on the ABC last year which, although
hilarious, didn't really present IT as attractive to normal people...

Unfortunately, true.  But it was just... so... funny.

Are there any positive portrayals of an IT person in pop culture?
