This was a new thought for me, I must admit that I have sipped the "kool-aid" myself. I would like to push for a different outcome, although I'm not sure that it's really feasible. If computer skills become ubiquitous the common SaaS type businesses could become obsolete. To be honest, I can't name a web app offered today that presents any technology that hasn't been around for at least 20 years. The technology 20 years ago wasn't as user friendly nor did it have the adoption rates seen today, but nothing new has been invented only refined. The only exception is that there has been major advances in surveillance and the monetization of attention. Although the monetization of attention is nothing really new; I mean there is a reason that the phrase "to pay attention" exists. If IT education was ubiquitous, Atom feeds and Jabber could replace facebook and other technologies could displace other major tech firms.
