Are web designers going to be obsolete someday?

I hear it almost once a week now. Someone looked at getting into web design but decided there wasn’t much of a future in it. Why? Because of new technologies and all the dang drag & drop website builders like SquareSpace, Wix, WordPress, etc. People imagine a world where pretty soon all you’ll have to do is fill out a little survey and out pops an award-winning website. BUT NOT SO FAST. I believe web design is here to stay. Or else I've made a bad decision on a podcast title. I even think that the demand for web designers is going to increase! But, I don't think web designers are immune from the impact of new technologies. If you're not careful you might in fact find yourself obsolete as a web designer. So, here are 7 things you can do to stay around for a long long time.
