Article in the news today about some Nick Carr dude and his new books prediction that IT will go away.

If Carr’s predictions come true, strong technical skills will still be valued by service providers.

It’s nice that was the last sentence in the article as that was what I was thinking the whole time. I believe there’s an argument hidden in there that service providers will require many less skilled folks that corporations. Software as a Service, heh, what’s the world coming to?

We’ll see I guess, but I have to wonder how much of the style of outsourcing back-lash we’ll see with this. I think outsourcing is just starting to settle and find it’s niches.
