[QUOTE="Kyle Weiss, post: 309013, member: 1969"] Technology used to be a boon for workers back when hand-coding and net administration required people. These days, mastercoders create programming environments that minimize the number of hands on people churning out fresh programs, a dozen people managing servers were replaced by remote log-in and self-correcting software handled by sometimes one part-time or on-call guy, and factories have already automated electronics component manufacturing for years... ...the only thing necessary that cannot be replaced are the database controllers, connection techs making sure the bandwidth is uninterrupted, and the people pulling the materials out of the ground to build more of the cockamamie magic boxes and handheld devices. Like everything, when the accountants became the real string-pullers via number crunching, less people = less liability (and paychecks/benefits are considered a loss of overhead). [/QUOTE]
