I don't think of outsourcing as being either good or bad for a country. I think of outsourcing as an inevitable reality, so debating the pros and cons doesn't accomplish much.

Outsourcing is reality, it's not a fad, it's the present and the future. This is the world we live in now, so you better learn to offer something of value. Sitting around complaining that you lost your $80,000 a year programming job to a $20,000 a year Indian person isn't going to get you anything. You have no right to a job, you only have the right to compete for one, and now you compete globally.

People would be wise to spend less time complaining about outsourcing, and more time thinking about how they can use it as an opportunity.
