And yet, the 'agrarians' (developers of anything digital) will only increase in number. Whereas after consolidation of farms, there are barely any farmers left.

Digital goods are produced by individual artisans or relatively small groups, and large teams can actually be counterproductive (As cited in the legendary "The Mythical Man-month".) 2. Demand structure. There's a limit to the amount of food each person can eat. But the demand for digital goods is unlimited, especially given that some digital goods enable the creation of entirely new classes of digital goods, and other digital goods don't require human attention span to consume (think of how much you don't think about all the engineering work that went into your OS.)
