Class Discussion Thursday 9/20

Reference: Time Time article by Jyoti Thottam


Summary: The article starts out by saying that if it were not for outsourcing Solidcore would not still be in the black. It goes onto discuss the moral problems with outsourcing but that part did not pertain to our topic so I won't go further into it.


Reaction: I can see the potential of outsourcing as it makes more companies increase their productivity. It does cause problems in out own country in that it reduces the amount of jobs available. The advantages of the increased productivity is remarkable. Work can be done while people are sleeping that is not related to maintenance. Projects can be accomplished in twice the speed. While it doesn't help our own country it does however help the world as a whole by supplying jobs in other nations. It leads the world to being one whole nation rather than hundreds of separate nations quarreling with others. In the long run it is a step forward.
