Adrianne Yamaki, a 32-year-old management consultant in New York, travels constantly and logs 80-hour work weeks. To eke out more minutes for herself, she routinely farms out the administrative chores of her life - making travel arrangements, hair appointments, restaurant reservations and buying show tickets - to a personal-assistant service, in India.
Kenneth Tham, a high school sophomore in Arcadia, California, strives to improve his grades and scores on standardized tests. Most afternoons, he is tutored remotely by an instructor speaking to him through a voice-over-Internet headset while Tham sits at his personal computer going over lessons on the screen. The tutor is in India.
