>>Political power wins out in the end Well actually its economic power. These people just have to pray technology doesn't get cheaper with time. I remember in the 90s an entire generation of Indian workforce lost jobs overnight, for decades they fought computers and software. They bought in regulations, laws and what not. Unions fought 'computers' tooth and nail. Yes, you read it right- they were against the very use of computers. When the prime minister called for use of computers in India in the 1980s there was a national strike. Eventually it became impossible to not use computers without slipping into an economic stone age. People had to give way.
