Mike: So what've you been up to, Bern? Bern: Oh, you know-working on the next paradigm-the usual. Mike: Do you know that Alex, who's all of 16, is already worrying about outsourcing? Bern: Well, she needn't be...She's just got to learn how to make it work for her. For instance, my nephew Zig, who's a systems analyst, recently outsourced his own job! Every night he e-mails a day of work to this wicked smart engineer in bombay. The next morning, the completed work is sitting in his mailbox. Zig pays the engineer a third of his salary, and is now looking for a second job! Mike: Wow...that's impressive...and his boss has't caught on? Bern: No, every few weeks Zig has the engineer screw up.
