This is the most incredible outsourcing news I have heard of so far.
Imagine you are in the drive thru at your local fast food joint, Taco Bell, Jack-in-the-Box, etc. Now try to imagine that the person taking your order on that little speaker is not inside the building, but somewhere else ( like Bangladesh, for example). They enter your order in the computer and the cooks look on the monitor to prepare your order. "Yu vant sheez on yu sheezvurger?" The companies will soon be able to eliminate over 100,000 minimum wage employees, and instead hire 30,000 employees making 5 dollars per day with no worries of lawsuits, paying sick leave or any benefits. McDonalds has just started experimenting with this. Talk about globalization. Imagine what will happen in a few years when all those sweat-shop workers in the call centers revolt. We will have to go back to telling the guy at the 1st window what we want to eat and they will have to write it down on a piece of paper with a pencil. How awful!
