In talking with some computer types from India, Ed Yourdon was told "I can get a dishwasher for $25". Yourdon was appalled, thinking he was talking about an appliance until the fellow said that was someone to do the dishes. The CIA World Fact Book (don't laugh) has the India per capita purchasing power parity at $2,600 compared to the U.S.A. at $36,300. So, a computer programmer in India making 1/10th of a comparable U.S. wage could probably afford several dishwashers! |
