So many U.S. executives want to visit India to make deals to outsource their companies' jobs that in March, India's Washington, D.C., embassy said it was forced to outsource the job of processing the executives' visa applications. [United Press International, 3-3-07]

And...

Yet another U.S. job was outsourced to India in May, that of "local government reporter" covering city hall politicians in Pasadena, Calif. The publisher of the Web site PasadenaNow.com said the local beat could be handled very well from India, through telephone interviews and by watching live city council telecasts on the Internet.

I not too worried about our jobs going away now.
but if soo many of our business is going over seas
whose in charge?
remember we`re  getting cheap labor oversea
at that price those guys don`t really have to strictly follow our instructions.
ex. oracle,dell
and technology wise we will lose our edge in 7 years
it`s niave to believe none of these countries is not copying our tech at this very moment.
A friend of mine was asked to fly to india to set up a network system.
he told me the reason is in india if a local tech did it ,he will try to keep the propritery software as his own.
that`s the way it done there.
