Milind ~ I think your question is how the PM daily job will change as technology advances.
As technology develops on the current path, much of the data gathering and organization done today can be automated. I think we will spend less time manually getting status or looking up information from one system to put in another and piecing it all together into cost estimates and schedules, and more time interpreting the information and deciding the best plan going forward.
That could mean a PM can cover a larger scope of responsibility (more projects or WBS under authority of a PM), or have more detailed knowledge (more trade studies and trade-offs possible or risk what-if analysis for example). Saving Changes...
I'd hope the majority of the time would be spent managing stakeholder expectations, managing risks and removing hurdles from the path of the team... Saving Changes...

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
