Isn't what he said the natural consequence of technology being available to a wider and wider segment of the public, reaching ubiquity? This is to be expected when what was originally something only known in a small circle is now having to be used by essentially everybody then. One thing that can definitely help is to incorporate programming as mandatory into national/state school curricula as soon as possible. Programming literacy could become something like writing literacy, though of course we're not quite there, yet. Everybody having a solid grasp on programming principles would also protect the democratic society in the sense that people would have an idea on how the software they're using daily actually work, what is being done to their data, etc. Leaving such a fundamental fabric of the society in the hands of few is self-evidently dangerous.
