I killed borders

[meehaja]

See, I used to love going to Borders, flicking through the magazines, sitting down with a nice arty picture book or some big expensive reference book. Sometimes I'd just go in to get out of the rain. Thats why Borders shut, 'cos no one ever bought anything!

Kinda strange isn't it the amount of jobs the internet revolution will cost the retail sector. I know, I know it's the governments fault the unemployment is rising. Seriously though, where are the jobs in the future going to be? UPS and FedEx look pretty solid and that's about it.

Healthcare.

The aging baby-boomer generation combined with ever-increasing lifespans means that the healthcare sector is going to grow massively in the coming years.

Edit: Not to mention all the problems that are going to be created by us younger people becoming increasingly fat and unhealthy.

Jobs will come from where they always come from. The unexpected and revolutionary technologies.

Who would have guessed 25 years ago just how large the PC industries would be?

This is where I disagree, where are the American jobs from the PC industry now? Show me any PC industry company that is creating jobs in US now. How's Dell doing? Does Microsoft have more or fewer people employed than 10 years ago? What percentage of Apple products are manufactured in the US? What percentage of operating system software is written in the US?

So that leads to where you were going with your statement, "unexpected and revolutionary technologies" even if they do occur, the software will be written in India and the hardware will be manufactured in Singapore or Malaysia now that Chinese workers are asking for benefits.

I fully expect Microsoft to announce a massive layoff this August.

Oh yeah, hard work at the titan-booth.
