The sky is falling. I looked outside and some dirt fell on the sidewalk.

This same BS went around when computer automation was going to replace every US worker. Didn't happen then won't happen now.

I assume you want the Indian guy to fly in and re-boot your computer or replace the bad disk.

Did you ever think technology might mean technology, like how to operate the latest computerized tools or shelf stocking devices. Workers that can't do this (or won't or can't learn)won't get jobs. Like Bush said retraining is important to stay gainfully employed.

Like Bush said retraining is important to stay gainfully employed.

Once again, there are many, many well-trained and experienced IT workers who can't find jobs now. How is giving someone with no prior IT experience $3,000 for a couple of community-college classes going to help them get an IT job in that kind of economy. Hint - it isn't. And the types of jobs they would be qualified for are the ones being most heavily outsourced to other countries.
