Calvin: Will “cloud computing” be the final nail in the coffin for the IT profession in America?
Many IT jobs have been outsourced to India, etc. Do you think with cloud computing, the remaining IT, networking jobs will be outsourced away from America?

No, companies will always need IT to manage networks, computers, help desk, phones and internal applications. Even cloud based applications still require interfaces which would typically be built by IT. The “cloud” is just another method of running an application. It does get IT out of the business of running a data center but not all applications are going to run in a cloud so some sort of server room will still be required.
From programing to hardware management, IT jobs have been outsourced in the past and it’ll in the future as well and yet the IT jobs stayed in the American market. I personally don’t see a reason to blame ‘Cloud Computing’ for lack of IT jobs in the market. In fact, report says, that post recession there has been an increase in the demand for IT professionals.
