Is there really a present reversal or are we really doomed?
The secret of how to be miserable is to constantly expect things are going to happen the way that they are "supposed" to happen.
You can have faith, which carries the understanding that you may be disappointed. Then there's being a willfully-blind idiot, which virtually guarantees it.

Do you believe that the IT industry in America will have the same fate as the steel industry of America?

The loss of manufacturing jobs happened in a slightly different way. U.S. companies didn't offshore/outsource much; labor unions kept GM from opening manufacturing plants in Japan, and US Steel from replacing their aging ore plants with more efficient minimills that would only employ a tenth as many people. Instead, competing companies appeared overseas. In some cases Congress did protect the domestic jobs by imposing import tariffs, but eventually consumers who wanted cheap Toyotas and Hondas voted for Congressmen that would let them have what they wanted.

Many say that China will be in the 21st Century what USA was during the 20th Century. No doubt that now that China has embraced Capitalism, it will be only a matter of time before China surpasses US in terms of prosperity in all aspects.

I don't see that happening due to many reasons.
In general China is not a melting pot of foreign born enterpreneurs(I might have spelt it wrong). Its all home grown or chinese speaking. It may become a good destination for more services jobs once chinese figure out the english part of the missing piece. But that is long ways to go.
Also, they are not as open-minded as Americans to be a attractive propostion for good talent to endup there and supplement the needs.

If wages continue to rise in India, will companies commence to seek a cheaper alternative?
