You will see private cloud, public cloud and hybrid cloud that combines the other two. Then we will maybe see a shift back to on-premise, who knows? Remember thinking everything would get outsourced? How did that work out? I think its premature to worry....maybe we all need to keep our finger on the pulse, but I doubt IT will ever be completely replaced (to a satisfactory standard) Sent from my (new!)

Sounds like IT might not be around very much in 10 years. If the users Desktop is in the cloud, and their data is in the cloud, what's left to do? You're not going to have a few servers on-site and a few in the cloud, it will be all or nothing. At least in 10 years, not right away. A 10 man team will be replaced with a 1 man team. And that 1 person will probably be 18 making $15/hour. So.... Maybe we can all change to computer programming? .
