Again you only prove that you are an enemy of the future. Do you not have the foresight to realize that today's "niche industry" is tomorrow's "cash cow". Microcomputers and software were niche industries in the late 70's and early '80s.

Good point. But how long will the average American get to reap the benefits of a new cash cow industry before it is carted away to another part of the world? It seems the life span here in the states gets shorter and shorter.

An "enemy of the future"???? WTF are you talking about? Some niche industries remain niche industries. I would guess that the majority of displaced workers would not be able to (for a variety of reasons)move into any of the high tech industries even if they did become mainstream.

Even those that are able to retrain will probably see their jobs sent to Bangalore just like your "niche industries in the late 70's and early '80s."
