I believe the term "blue collar work" is for jobs that require manual labor. In this sense of the word software will never become blue collar work.

I do believe software jobs will become more and more common in though. The accessibility of the field grows every day, and with newer generations being more "tech savvy" than the last, tech related jobs should be more common, and more people will apply to them.

I think the idea the above posts refer to is the idea software jobs will become more common, not that they will be more physical. Lets be real, most software jobs require you to be less physical :laugh:
