AOL and Outsourcing

Lots of companies are outsourcing to India. Here's an example of the process:

AOL sets up software center in India

From the article:Also:Also:And:The employment landscape for U.S. programmers has changed dramatically. This process is not happening over the course of a centrury, as it did with agricultual automation and factory automation. Instead it has happened in just a few years.

There is no stopping the offshoring process, and it will not stop at IT. Accounting, tax preparation, financial analysis, reporting, writing, film making, customer service, billing/payroll, editing, illustration, engineering, design, manufacturing, etc., etc. -- millions of jobs across a wide spectrum of white-collar and blue-collar activities -- can all move off-shore to some degree. And they will.

As mentioned in Robotic Nation:See Robotic Nation for details.
