Wages have successfully been depressed in this field with a lot of computer scientists from the subcontinent and elsewhere in the developing world. Makes it a whole lot less appealing to Americans to enter the field.

That is a fact. The outsourcing of these jobs has reduced the number of Americans in the field....and reduced, via non-market forces, the wages of those Americans still in the field

A number of people I know have left the computer-related fields because of the loss of jobs and lowering wages. Eventually, this draws fewer younger Americans into the computer field

Let’s here your take on this. Robots taking over this field too??

While I can't any of that is wrong, the sky hasn't fallen yet. However, the field isn't as good as it used to be. Demand for IT and programming skills used to be so high that you didn't even need to go to college for it if you had the knowledge.
