The author brings up good points, although jumps between subjects. I wasn't sure if his focus was the education system or moving factories to Malaysia or Moore's law. His comment about technologies taking 30 years to spread was surely true before, but things are changing now. Cell phones became mainstream in much less time than 30 years, and so did DVD players, YouTube, social networks, ...etc. That 30 year time frame is shrinking, but one might argue that not everyone is catching up to new technologies at the same rate, and this eventually will widen the digital divide. We might end up with upper class, middle class, and lower class of digital empowerment, and that eventually might create serious social and economical issues.
