That has been going on long before cisco commercials..automation has
been replacing
Jobs across all industry's for well over 20 years...Networking wont be
immune either...

It's really funny you mention that! About a month ago it was the focus
of a big discussion in our group....we all said the same thing.
One of the opinions of the picture that I thought was interesting was
that the old guy who represents "the business" is looking at the
technical guy like he's some kind of asshole. The opinion was that Cisco
is showing how there is a distaste by business people for technical
people. This goes along with Cisco whole new theme that they have
equipment that is "self definding"
so business people no longer have to spend tons of money on network/ IT
guys and they can replace us with "smart" hardware.
Just a theory but an interesting one, I think.
Cisco has been showing in it's promotions lately a bunch of low end
people watching a screen and saying "wow, isn't cisco's gear great! It
automatically found a problem and fixed itself!"
