Off-Shoring the Know |
|
| Although we’ve just explained that there is little reason to worry about off-shoring low-skilled, low-paying jobs that will be automated anyway, many observers are even more anxious about this related trend. Many companies are starting to off-shore some of their highly-skilled technical jobs to overseas providers. |

Off-Shoring the Back |
|
| Let’s face it, there’s hardly a business topic that’s more emotionally charged than off-shoring: the new trend of outsourcing business processes to foreign workers. It is much cheaper to pay people in other countries to do this routine work because they are paid only a small fraction of the salaries that American workers receive. |

Video Gaming Becomes |
|
| The market for home video games is only 30 years old. It began in 1975, when Atari released a home version of Pong. Global industry sales of home video games totaled $28 billion in 2002, the last year for which reliable worldwide industry figures are available. In the same year, U.S. sales of computer and video game hardware and software exceeded $11 billion and probably surpassed $13 billion in 2003. |
