Meeklo, where I agree with your overall sentiment, I'm not sure I am getting your point?
If we follow your logic could we not just take a few examples and see how they pan out? Take tech support for example, often these jobs are outsourced to India. The language barrier alone is often maddening when you are trying to get a problem solved. This compounded with the fact that they (folks in India) are often only book smart and are simply reading off some screen matrix, and you can pretty much throw quality out the window. Getting any sort of solution over the phone (which is already difficult) becomes exponentially so to the point of almost being impossible. Lots of business is lost this way....just look at Dell.
Have you ever been through this scenario? Or tried to work with a developer from India to get a project done? Trust me, there is no comparison. Blame the language barrier or cultural differences or whatever you want (obviously Indian people are just as smart as Americans or anyone else), but I think you are lying to yourself if you think that outsourcing jobs to India produces the same result.
btw, comparing US to Europe vs. India is a very different scenario.
- Great conversation btw.....if anything I wrote sounds snarky...it's just the limitations of a text forum :)designbot
