outsource

[Jonathan Lighter]

On CNN this can now mean "turn over (a large task)." Presumably the turning
over is still limited to computer contexts, but beware.

Today, in a discussion of whether conventional intelligence is as important
as "emotional intelligence" in today's hyper-paced-paced, Tweetin' world:

"Many, many jobs requiring linear thinking are now being outsourced to
computers."

Indeed beware.
