The article claims that "Over 400,000 new jobs have been created by Apple’s App store.", but that's just shoddy accounting. What about mcdonalds in europe installing thousands of touch screen replacing cashiers and the tons of other apps that replace people, does that go into that accounting ?
And what about the intense price competition between workers that online, global platforms create ?
Will those 2 million needed technical jobs cause more job losses ?
My problem with this article is that it tries to create a rosy picture of a big change our economy is going throught, while in reality we just don't know how things are going to turn out,whether we will have enough jobs for everyone, and how rough and long the transition period is going to be, and it does so just to sell a product(which might be valuable).
It's just like reading medical research done by pharmaceutical companies.
