Zen - I think you are missing the bigger picture.

"You have no *idea* just how powerful technology is and how much efficiency it can bring to business. ... 10 years from now, there will be few office workers left.... only technologists automating every aspect of their previous jobs"

No offense, but I'm sure the same sentence was uttered years ago after the invention of the gas powered engine. The point I think you are dicounting is that technology continues to evolve.

Cars have gotten a whole lot more complicated - Has your mechanic gotten smarter? Are there more of them today? As technology continues to evolve, sure it will continue to be a growth industry, but the advancements in technology will be in making it as easy to use as an everyday TOOL. Key point - technology is an enabler. B2B is a transaction action with logic. A tool, nothing more.

Successful technology will actually reduce the number of technologists needed. I'm sure CSCO will continue to evolve, but they seem to think they can do it with 8500 fewer technologists.

The big advancements will come in engineering, power generation, and genetics.

Just my opinion, BWDIK - I have not made 2.4 million in the market. (Haven't lost 2.3 either (VBG)).
