My 2 cents:
Interesting IA article. These trends, and the consequences we are seeing, were all predicted in the Megatrends book back in the early '80s. I noticed, for example, that there were several vendors at the recent isa show in New Orleans for 'e-business' products/services. I think that that is the future for North America; less sweat work and actual material goods production, more white collar "high tech" work (just look at the recent boom in the stock market with all the day traders-I know of at least 2 people that quit "regular" jobs to be day traders over the internet from their homes).
Thanks, and please keep up the good work.
-Phil
