Not necessarily.

Changing your oil isn't that hard.  Most people pay someone else to do 
it though.

Fixing a hole in drywall isn't that hard.  Most people pay someone else 
to do it though.

Even mowing a yard isn't hard, but many people out there still hire 
people to do it for them.

"easy" doesn't mean that the service niche goes away; as long as people 
are busy enough that the job is an inconvenience to do themselves, 
there's always a demand for the service, easy or not.

Sorry, know this is probably a tangent from what was implied, but I get 
tired of people saying that we need our stress and problems because if 
it were easy we'd all be out of jobs.  We'd be paid far less if it were 
a commodity service, perhaps, but it doesn't automatically mean we're 
going to be jobless just because we made a network or system that 
works...if anything, it means we could finally focus on training users 
and creating training materials for them to help them use the system we 
put into place!
