Articles like these seem to make the superficial assumption that technology only puts downward pressure on the unskilled or uneducated. That improving technology can only benefit the existing elites.

Innovation is commonly driven by scrappy upstarts who have no choice but to try something new because they can't beat the existing order at their own game.
