> I imagine something similar happened to tailors who became factory sweatshop workers.

I'm really wondering where this goes. I'm not sure we are going to the "tailors", but maybe I'm also biased.

Tailoring completly got lost - there are basically none* in western europe (* if you don't count the couple of shops that adjust your clothes a little - try to find clothes Made in Europe). So are we going out-of-business and our code is coming from (name a country)?

Or are we going to exist, but it's all Fortune 500 and smaller shops have no chance of establishing themselves anymore?

Or is it going to be totally different and small shops will flourish and the Fortune 500 will loose part of the market?
