I came to think of this topic because of today's NYTimes article on math tutor outsourcing.
Although, consumer service outsourcing is still at its infancy, I can see tons of opportunities for capitalizing on more intuitive remote collaboration technologies: video conferencing being the most mature one among them.
The real future lies in robotics, when a baby sitter in India can cuddle a kid in US or even exchange diaper for him. It will happen much sooner than tele-brain-surgery, and slightly later than remote radiology diagnosis, which has already been experimented in Japan and Europe.
