The Future of IT Technical Support

In this post I will be  discussing the potential future of IT support

I feel the future of technical support is likely to become virtual based. This will lead to an increased amount of remote desktop like applications which will require an internet connection. In Britain at least, this could mean that the general speed of broadband connections will greatly increase, with more and more homes opting for a fibre optic connection.  This would mean that an increasing amount of  IT support technichians would be able to remain at home to complete tasks and be able to help more  people rather than a limited amount, due to the fact that they must travel before being able to potentially solve a problem. This in turn should lead to a drop in the prices charged by IT support.  More end users could progress thier own technical knowledge with time, due to being able to both see how the solution is found on thier own screen and through intense problem solving techniques that they may develop of thier own. It may just turn out that IT support is no longer such an essential component to the average computer system as the majority of end users have developed a much more well equipped knowledge base, leaving the current IT support generation to more pressing matters. This ultimately, could end up meaning that future IT is a much more polished and refined genre with more  intuitive interfaces, better functionality and more impressive features. all of which is fully understood and utilized by the end user.
