IT Desktop Support To Be Wiped Out Thanks To Cloud Computing

An anonymous reader writes "Tech industry experts are saying that desktop support jobs will be declining sharply thanks to cloud computing. Why is this happening? A large majority of companies and government agencies will rely on the cloud for more than half of their IT services by 2020, according to Gartner's 2011 CIO Agenda Survey."

How many times will you hear, "The cloud is down!"?

Does that make it a fog?

I had to teach one of these about "right clicking" once.

When it comes to computing they are in fact dumb as rocks and totally helpless. All of their intelligence doesn't come into play because the general attitude of anti-intellectualism that YOU embody discourages it.

Self inflicted and completely avoidable but still real nonetheless.
