Wonder who discovered computer

Context:
Today we got to listen to a guest lecture by a guy from industry. He said he has an aggregate 29 years experience ranging over from dba to data warehousing to SAP.There were like 40 ppl in the class, including 3 indians, me inclusive.

When he first mentioned the word DBA, everything was OK. when he mentioned Data warehousing, some 10 pairs of heads looked at each other, wondering if the other head had ever heard of it. When he mentioned SAP, one guys popped the question, whats that?.. (ohh...BTW, graduates made 25% of class strength)

the three indians: !!!!!!$$$ :):):) [in that order]

i wondered, assuming no fundamental technology breakthrough in next 10 years, what indians would do to US IT labor market.
