Amazing post.
From my own opinion
people(workers) outside the tech industries don't seems to see any opportunity outside their job of view. All they do is go to work and earn penny.
Little secret i have learnt and would love to share is -
"You must be up-to-date".

Information is power, so you must get that information to acquire power.
Most people don't have the mental ability to be good enough at the coming job openings. It is like saying that from now on, everyone is going to have to earn by competing playing basketball. Almost everyone can compete, how many can be competitive?
