"Is it working for us? The BBJ’s IT conference will discuss, whether IT suits the original goal perfectly nowadays. Does it really make our work easier, is our work faster and more comfortable with it? Does it have more advantages than disadvantages, or do the negative effects become unbearable?Viruses, malfunctioning networks, hardware ever to be developed, never perfect users, unpredictable additional costs, do we still need this?
Though computers are not destroyed, conference speakers will try to make a calculation of pros and cons, have a survey of potential protection methods and discuss the methodology of survival.
