Not necessarily. Changing your oil isn't that hard. Most people pay someone else to do it though. Fixing a hole in drywall isn't that hard. Most people pay someone else to do it though. Even mowing a yard isn't hard, but many people out there still hire people to do it for them. "easy" doesn't mean that the service niche goes away; as long as people are busy enough that the job is an inconvenience to do themselves, there's always a demand for the service, easy or not. Sorry, know this is probably a tangent from what was implied, but I get tired of people saying that we need our stress and problems because if it were easy we'd all be out of jobs. We'd be paid far less if it were a commodity service, perhaps, but it doesn't automatically mean we're going to be jobless just because we made a network or system that works...if anything, it means we could finally focus on training users and creating training materials for them to help them use the system we put into place!
