Possibly some of the basic jobs will dwindle. However, IT jobs will be redefined and IT departments restructured.We will still need IT experts, programmers, and hardware experts and troubleshooters. I might use the analogy of the Health Profession. Not just because you can buy some Tylenol in your favorite drugstore that means we don't have Doctors, Nurses, or Pharmacists. We still have hospitals staffed by all categories of Professionals.As a matter of fact, the small clinic is also becoming the choice for many of these Professionals. Nobody is a have-it-all, know-it-all and do-it-all in IT.
