[Article] Will WFH break down borders?

Just when you thought technology couldn’t accelerate any faster, along comes the pandemic, and suddenly the world is Zooming, millions are conducting virtual happy hours, and ordering groceries and cannabis online. The result? Technology companies and stocks are booming.

The downside? There aren’t enough IT professionals to implement the digital transformation, cloud, AI and machine learning technologies that have, are, and will disrupt our world. So how is the vision of technology to be realized?

Fast forward to WFH. Suddenly we figured out how to manage a remote workforce. That obstacle was removed. Talent in other countries were busy getting educated, so places like Mexico now graduate nearly twice as many IT pros as the U.S.  They speak great English, watch the same TV shows, and we all enjoy the same foods.
