If I can do my job entirely from the comfort of my own living room, there's nothing that would prevent the company from hiring someone to do my job from the comfort of their own living room, in India or the Philippines."

That's one of the reasons I went into a field of technology where the work is mostly hands-on.

Hardware maintenence, troubleshooting, installation and repair isn't something that can effectively be done remotely.
