Really interesting and well written article. I don't think China will be an outsourcing destination for long.

In India your slowly starting to see agencies that aren't merely code factories but places where you can do actual product development. Its early days though.

I am really glad that e-commerce is taking off in India. The code factories model of relying entirely on foreign projects is not sustainable in the long run.

The problem however is that there aren't a lot of jobs for other kinds of engineering. I hope that changes soon too.

This is kind of frightening, our wages won't survive a world in which where there's a surplus of talent coming from developing countries.
I have seem some talent, at various levels, some of which is even quite good. But I surely would NOT call it a "surplus" :-)
I feel it's mainly the younger generation (born after the 70's) that has embraced globalization and are coming up with quality outsourcing firms.
