Many folks have lost their jobs to their overseas back office operators....but a new wave of job loss could be due to R & D in robotics. Next thing we know that at 25th anniversary is guessing who is real and who is robot at echarcha:D

Mike Schmidt & Hod Lipson at Cornell have developed (April 2009) a program that can detect natural laws from bunch of data...a domain of gifted scientists:D....it is not too far fetched to think that robots will design experiments and build other machines.

Hod Lipson (http://www.mae.cornell.edu/lipson/)

and his important paper in the journal, Science (free download) at his website can be found here, http://ccsl.mae.cornell.edu/presslist?q=natural_laws

So, some of the R & D from India will come right back into USA, but will not cause much job growth:D
