introducing technology at the pre-school level in disadvantaged sections of
society to get a head start on their academic development through the use of
age-appropriate software developed by IBM. Try science is another community

PROFIT MADE IN THE LAST DECADE:-
IBM has undergone profound changes over the last 10 years. For
example, in 2000, IBM made almost as much money selling hardware
($2.7 billion in pre-tax income) as it did selling software ($2.8 billion).
By 2009, the profit mix had shifted dramatically, with software and
services each bringing in $8.1 billion in pre-tax income (and accounting
for 84 percent of overall profits). Meanwhile, hardware profits
plummeted by almost 50 percent in 2009, to $1.4 billion, and accounted
for just 7 percent of overall company profits.
But the swing is perhaps most vividly illustrated with the fact that the
"new" IBM makes more money today by lending money ($1.7 billion in
pre-tax income for IBM's financing business) than it does selling
hardware. In other words, being a bank is more profitable for IBM than
building enterprise servers and storage devices.
