I agree with a lot of things this article says, displacing labour, short term 'money-saving' projects reducing the health of our economy etc... But the idea that we will have 'too many' techies is absurb. At least in the UK, kids coming out of school have no idea how this IT stuff works. It's just a magical iPad to them. The world is becoming increasingly focused on technology, and the general public has no idea how any of it actually works. I'm not talking about transistors and 1's and 0's. I'm talking about databases, text editors and command lines. How are the youth of today supposed to gain exposure to this stuff, when installing a program means typing in the name and and clicking 'Get' in the App Store? Stuff like Minecraft helps, but the desktop PC is no longer something that families tend to have lying around. My 7 year old niece can use her iPhone, but if I put her in front of a keyboard, she would be clueless. Maybe tools will evolve, but people will still have to make the tools.
