Do you think this move to control expenses via  outsourcing  off shore is
going to lead to  lack of interest  in the academic offerings in the
technology career areas?

If that  happens does it suggest  such a shift will lead towards us
becoming a  third  world player in the Technology game and dependent on
others as it is  for Oil today?

This is already happening.  Most of the major software vendors have moved
development to the southern hemisphere, or Europe, and out of the US.  Even
the engineering portion is moving, not just the programming.

Colleges/Universities are still able to fill the masters and PhD programs
in Software Engineering with students, however like the program I am in,
over half the students are not US citizens.  Mostly from China, and some
from India and the south pacific Islands.  They come here for the
education, then go back (most of the time) and take the work with them.
The undergraduate programs are not full, and again over half full of non US
citizens.
