On a macro scale this is happening in every field in America. Any knowledge worker job that doesn't need to be done in person can be outsourced to the billions of people in the rest of the world. Radiologist, Accounting, Law, Animation, etc. What is the value of a U.S. Hacker News moderator in the valley, for example, over a smart Croatian or Latin American person who will work for a fraction of the price? Many peoples advantage is geography and connections, not talent or skill, which there is no shortage of amongst billions of people. The ultimate result in my opinion, when no job is safe from outsourcing, is going to be the decline of wages and the middle class in America.
