I wonder how these folks will feel about it...
'One in six' Silicon Valley tech jobs ripe for offshoring

Ehhh, I guess computers are the new buggy-whips.

It just boggles my mind that Bush intends to argue that outsourcing is a good thing in and of itself - his best shot would have been to announce that he was going to pressure China to open up their markets and increase their imports from us. If he tries to argue in favor of outsourcing, it's all over for him, he might just as well hand the election to Kerry.

People don't seem to understand this either. I bet the buggy whip and typewriter manufacturers were just as po'd when it happened to them,
then they found jobs in the new industries.

The problem here is that I don't see what this newer, more (skillwise) demanding industry is at this time.

Really computers and IT services are obsolete? when did this happen? The Buggy whip analogy works fine when you want to talk about vcr manufactures trying to hold back dvd players, it refers to competition among technologies *NOT* peoples.
