Also, the United States has a great advantage in (I just learned the word) localization of software, because of the enormous cultural and national variety that we already have right in the country. Because English is the second language of all educated Indians, they do have an advantage, I would think, in taregting English-speaking countries, but in the United States we have people who can take on any language, street-address system, accounting, scheduling, or any other idiosyncrasy of every industrialized country in the world. It also seems reasonable that there will continue to be higher and higher levels of programming systems that would render obsolete earlier programming languages and systems. I actually had some competence in Fortran at one point; might as well have made buggy whips for a hobby. Incidentally, I was just taking a look at that old Strictly Drilling thread. It's a cuckoo clock with three competing cuckoos.
